can i just add to this thread that some of the stuff he did was while he was in 1D being controlled by modest? this is somehow an excuse to not speak up because if there’s anything we learn from 5sos is that modest wouldn’t let them speak up AT ALL. and 1D were the most powerful+ https://twitter.com/harrysmoonshine/status/1278192188955021312
band back then so we cannot even begin to imagine how strict management was on them, especially on harry always making him look like the leader of the band. also, i’m part nahuatl so i think i can speak about this picture because this costume is very similar to traditional+
nahuatl costumes. i personally think this is not cultural appropriation because HE IS NOT CLAIMING IT AS HIS. you know what’s a good example of cultural appropriation? what the kardashians do with black culture. they ALWAYS try to own it as theirs even tho they’re white, but+
harry literally just tried on a hat and posed for a picture. he is in no way offending the culture or claiming it as his. i understand if you are related to this culture and feel offended by it, but if you’re not then stop going around saying harry was offensive or he did+
