That's a good question that I don't have a real answer for aside from it looks cool.

And people say me buying Gucci is dumb...

Don't get punched out tc, some people really don't take kindly to the headdress on non natives.

I might be able to pull it off without people noticing. But yeah, I'll probably save it for stuff like Halloween parties and stuff.

The word you're looking for is "appreciation", not "appropriation"

Lol idk it looks cool for a halloween costume is pretty blatantly appropriation. Im tempted to think tc is trolling

Yeah, I figured there's stigma around stuff like this and for that reason, it's probably not in my best intrest to casually wear it around in public. But I, personally, think they look neat and just wanted one :/

Owning one as a thing I can get by but yea I wouldn't even wear it for Halloween as that would be just wrong.
---

maybe I'm wrong, but I feel that headdresses like the one in the OP had special meaning to the cultures that they were from, and people didn't just wear them casually

what's wrong with someone buying it even if they intend to dress up with it for a party? not your business tbqh

right but if it has no special meaning to the TC and he wants to display it in his house as a prop or center piece, or if he wants to wear it at a dress party, what's that to you?

Meh. If I do wear it, it's going to be either when I'm at home and just feel like it for some reason, or special occasions, preferably those where I'm surrounded by people I know.

if the TC doesn't care about displaying iconography from a culture, that might or might not be important to the people who practice that culture, then it's whatever

but it he does, then it might be important to know what that symbol might mean to others, and whether the manner in which he's using it can be seen as disrespectful, or not.

No one's gonna sit here and rail against him but at least pull your head out of your own ass for long enough to admit that going "lol look at me im an indian" is pretty poor form.

It's really weird how hard Bio1590 is trying to be offended that another grown man is buying whatever the fuck he wants in a free society.

I think it's noble of him to be proactively offended in place of all the natives that will never read this topic or see TC with his headdress.

when that clownish sjw got mad on twitter about someone wearing a kimono to prom or w/e, didnt all of the actual japanese ppl who were surveyed not actually give a damn? lmfao
