The people protesting the "Kimono Wednesdays" event at the Boston Art Museum because they considered Westerners wearing kimonos to be "orientalism" and "cultural appropriation" were a problem for the actual Japanese companies that were trying to spread awareness of Japanese culture in the West and actually maybe try to make kimonos marketable as fashion in the West.
Cultural appropriation does exist and it can be damaging, but one form of cultural appropriation that often gets overlooked is taking offense on behalf of another culture, without actually having any understanding of that culture or its position on the matter.
