Fuck the hanfu movement

I got sent this article by a friend, as I've left Tumblr precisely for the spread of misinformation on that toxic platform. After reading it, I realized I must say something or risk exploding from sheer anger at the political spinning that went on in this bullshit subculture.

So, here's me ranting again:
( Hanfu subculture is toxic ethno-centricism and if Western progressives actually support equity and equality, they need to reject the toxicity. )

The big question for the movement is: to what extent does it seek to normalise the use of traditional dress? [...] [H]opefully it can become and remain a form of healthy cultural expression in its own right.

And this here is the crux of the matter. What does normalization of an ethnic majority's fashion from 300+ years ago mean politically? If a blond-haired, blue-eyed White person tries to revive traditional "Aryan" fashion, how would you respond? Because that's the equivalent of a Chinese person trying to revive traditional "Han" fashion. It's dangerous, toxic ethno-centric xenophobia using fashion as a cover.

I say this as an ethnic Han. I see the xenophobia for what it is. Do you?

Edit to add:
Also wanted to say, I'm really fucking tired of this bitching about how "only traditional Chinese is real Chinese". You want to talk traditional? Here is the writing from the actual HAN (汉) dynasty:

Here is the writing from modern "traditional" Chinese:

Do you see how different the characters look? I don't want to hear about this "Oh, simplified characters are an abomination of Chinese". No, fuck you. Simplified Chinese is merely one of the styles of writing. The Qin Emperor changed how the characters looked and the Han Emperor did it again, and later dynasties continued to change the characters, so when another regime changed it, that's just following in a grand old tradition of new standardization of Chinese. Fuck off with your traditional, conservative BS.
