Influence plays a huge factor in these things and people should simply let go of this continuous judgement and bandwagon-like approach when they launch personal attacks on others.
@Ksimon722:
Cultural appropriation is not a simple problem of people liking things of other cultures. It involves history and power dynamics.
@joycezhong_:
Cultural appropriation isn’t when you partake in other cultures. That’s literally not it you all, there’s a whole power dynamic and a conversation of appreciation vs. turning cultural fashion into a costume.
@AidanPatton3:
…Is simply wearing a traditional and culturally significant outfit with the pure intentions of appreciation still considered #culturalappropriation? This “scandal” that caused an uproar in the US has done little to anger people actually living in China.
@WhycanUshutup:
I love @NICKIMINAJ, but they complain about cultural appropriation... and then chun-li. Just live! We are humans! We can learn and love everything! Just enjoy culture! Enjoy what humans can create
@intersect_intellect:
Hold your favourites accountable whenever they pull problematic...
@beautybrainsandresilience:
I absolutely love that people enjoy my culture. I love seeing people take interest in our food, flavours, holidays, etc. My only hope is that if you enjoy any part of a culture, you also educate yourself about what’s happening to its people. Please treat all cultures with respect, leave the costumes at home.
