Gosh, thank you. THIS really sums it up.

This is just a personal example and I'm not Japanese but I think it's ironic how, in internet culture, it's perfectly alright to go "oMg JaPaNeSe ArE sO cRaZy xD wEiRd CoMmErCiAlS!!!" but wanting to know more about actual wafuku/kimono is absurd...?

In other words, I don't think there's any actual shift in perspective (ie. viewing/judging of things from a very ethnocentric perspective, particularly by people in a privileged culture/country/etc. and subsequently judging everything and everyone on basis of those "dominant cultures" ...) when some white person from some developed country goes "ENJOYING THINGS FROM OTHER CULTURES IS PROBLEMATIC!! DON'T DO IT" and doesn't really know why it is problematic, thus can't explain it to others; it's just a lot of, well, censoring and needless segregation in my opinion. But yeah, we keep making those dumb rules because it's 2020 and humanity is still full of bigots. (Like the one who wanted to trademark poke - I had no idea that was a thing lmaoo)
