ANY person (99%) putting on a costume is guilty of cultural appropriation. If I dress as a vampire I am practicing cultural appropriation (unless I'm an attorney). It all needs to stop.

Every culture that exists is a result of some level of appropriation. You can dress like whatever you want. Liberals will scream on Tic Toc, but they always back down if they try to confront you in person

Your son?

1. "Your": Is "he" chattel? Do you "own" him?
2. Have you imposed your will and society's will and standards on your "son"? By "son" does that imply "he" will be a "man" one day? Does he self identify as a son?
3. Does your son spin his own silk or is it harvested from actual spiders who are left without sufficient biological material to hunt? Are they malnourished as a result of confiscation without fair trade of their silk?

Do you see the micro aggressions on this thread? The violence inherent in the system?

So? Why isit a problem?

I can wear any clothing of a different culture, why can't I? And they can wear stuff from mine.
