The difference is appropriation vs appreciation. Appropriating is mocking/using a culture. Cultural appreciation is celebrating alongside a culture. Celebration is encouraged.

Beyonce has appropriated Indian culture in the past though.

The only reason the context is being brought up and she’s being defended is because she’s Beyonce and because she’s not white. Her, Cardi, Nicki, they can all appropriate whatever cultures they want and never get cAnCeLeD. Guarantee if the celebrity was any other ethnicity they’d get called out.

Nick fucking Jonas dressed in traditional Indian wedding clothes while marrying an Indian woman in India and is being accused of cultural appropriation.

Beyonce does it and it’s cool. Beyonce isn’t even wearing traditional clothes. She took it and altered it to make it her own. The definition of appropriation.

Anybody who screams cultural appropriation and yet claims they think there’s a difference between appropriation and appreciation is full of fucking shit. What you meant to say was “it’s OK if anybody other than a white person does it“.

No traditional garb of any culture looks that sexual! Especially formal!

Yeah that’s what I was going to say.

Traditional type guest garb for an Indian Wedding.

The hell is she wearing?

her brand is big black tiddies, you understand. the marketing team would have a fit if they were ever covered

jfc all this cultural appropriation bullshit.

if your brain works like this, there is something wrong with it. unfuck your lives, comrades. you have nothing to lose but your deep-seated neuroses.

It’s not a coherent ideological thing. It’s a weird dominance kink thing. And it’s probs not gonna end well.

All else aside, “no high-class formalwear tradition would possibly emphasize getting ya titties out” is flatly untrue, décolletage was important to Western aristocratic dress for quite a while
