I think you raise a lot of good points, anon, but sometimes you can explain why something is hurtful and people will double down on being shitty because they don’t want to accept that they’ve done something hurtful. And then there are people within the same group who don’t always agree on what’s cultural appropriation and what isn’t. I’m Mexican and I’m perfectly okay with people wearing a huipil (those long embroidered tunics, which incidentally make great summer dresses) as long as they’re wearing it as an outfit and not using it as a Halloween costume to be a generic Mexican person, but another person may not be okay with anybody outside of specific indigenous group wearing a huipil. And still another person won’t care if people wear it as a Halloween costume.

NAYRT but I think that's one of the biggest issues with what I've seen for/against cultural appropriation.

While MOST (and I say most and not all) people would agree that wearing something in a disrespectful manner, or wearing/utilizing something that has significant cultural or religious value (ie a headdress/war bonnet) is a big no no, there's not much agreement even between people within a culture when it comes to things such as hairstyles, types of clothing (saris for example).

I can understand why people get confused, frustrated, and sometimes a little defensive when they're told, "You're X so you can't do/wear Y."

AYRT here and I TOTALLY agree. But my point was because shitty people exist, some people who are genuinely trying their best get told something rude or harmful (outright cyberbullying, even). This isn't very nice either, and I don't think it's working for the betterment of things. Having said this, agreed, people feel sad at different things, another reason why I suppose it's nice to explain to others. As part of many marginalized groups myself I try to do that IF they're willing to listen. If they double down on being shitty well (rightfully) fuck em.
