Does cultural appropriation ever count as genuine appreciation, or is borrowing from another culture always problematic? I recently read about a fashion brand using Indigenous patterns without crediting the community, and it sparked a heated debate among my friends. Some argued it's a way to celebrate diversity, while others saw it as erasure. I've lived in three countries and adapted local customs myself, but I'm not sure where the line is. When does influence cross into exploitation, and can intent matter if the impact is harmful?
