Simply wearing a kimono in of itself isn't cultural appropriation. Sharing Japanese customs and traditions is actually a big part of Japanese culture, as long as you aren't being disrespectful, most japanese people are glad to share their culture with anyone who wants to partake.

Cultural appropriation is a more complex thing than just wearing clothes, it's about intent and more.

I could explain for hours, but you'd just reject it because you can't see beyond your own privilege, and I'm not wasting time on a fruitless endeavor.

You don't want to believe that it's a thing and you're perfectly entitled to that ignorance. You can try to misrepresent what it is all you want but it won't change that it's not what you think it is.
