i think the reason it is seen as negative is because "appropriation" implies the original culture no longer has any right to it, or that it is misrepresented. that is why the the term "cultural appropriation" is so contentuous.

you can have a person not of the nationality that comes to learn of another culture, and adopts its customs and beliefs out of love, to the point he even moves because the country might be either friendly or more prosperous than his own. In there, the culture appropriates him, not the other way around.

then you have disney trying to copyright dia de muertos from mexicans. they tried to appropriate the culture. it is the only case i know where i would use the term "culture appropriation" the way most people understand it.

other than that, ngl, i really dislike the term for its negative connotations. sometimes one wants others to know of their culture. it doesn't mean it's harming us, ffs.
