There’s a difference between cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation. People have blurred those lines so much nowadays and immediately resort to appropriation 😒

Some things just are for certain cultures or purposes that dont apply to everyone and thats ok! Researching means you would know if thats the case or not

You can be fascinated by a culture without it being bad, it’s appropriation once you start trying to take it as your own or claiming you’re a part of it when you really aren’t

yeah it’s complex! the history of the specific practice, if you’ve been invited to participate vs trying to imitate it on your own, what kind of privilege you may hold, etc etc, all are a part of this.
