I am confused as to why it is good or bad or neither. Genuinely confused. Please and thank you.

Imagine if you were part of a group of people who used special symbols/tatoos for your dead relatives, and some random on the internet saw it on you and decides to use it as a logo for their prank channel or as a fashion statement because it looked cool. That’s culture appropriation.
It’s hard to understand this from the perspective of a Westerner especially Americans, since they’re really open about anything. They even use their flags as beach towels or bikinis, when their laws specifically prohibits such usage.
I actually think this shouldn’t exist given how interconnected we’ve become and how it’s an opportunity to actually spread your culture for free, but I also realize many tend to wear or do things for fun, not knowing what that activity or cloth symbolized.
It’s all fun and games and no one would really mind like 9.5/10 times, but it’s when the people start disrespecting your national or cultural threads/symbols is where the water gets murky.
