I've for a while now found myself identifying with Wendigos quite a bit,

I've not been told until recently that they're kind of a taboo in some cultures, and that it's insensitive for me to even say the name,

There are two creatures that go by the same name, one is the traditional, culturally significant one, and then there's a modern separate creature by the same name,

I identify with the modern pop culture creature, not the cultural significant one,

I don't mean any disrespect to anyone, and I don't want it to come across the wrong way,

I just... Can't exactly erase that aspect of myself?

I'm not exactly sure what to do-
