Great, let's mindlessly retread the right-wing's favorite progressive strawmen for the lulz. Any other culture war bullshit I can feel smugly self-righteous over?

"my culture is not your prom dress" moment.

I don't know why you are getting downvoted, it is the exact same thing as the comic. People on twitter didn't like a women wearing a Chinese dress to prom, while everyone from Asia was supporting her. https://www.straitstimes.com/world/united-states/us-teens-qipao-prom-dress-sparks-cultural-appropriation-row-on-twitter

Funny that i'm chinese and living in asia as well and i support that. Western folks have a weird sense of justice that they want to protect everyone, to a point i feels like they're seeing us as a lesser kind that need protection.

I think discussions on the qipao are more concerned with it be sexualized/treated as a fetish costume. It’s formal wear.
