Before I too am protected from cultural appropriation by the most common method proscribed by enthusiasts enthralled by the goal of preventing anyone from using in any method or situation a culture of anyone else by forcing everyone else to not mention the culture again, let me tell you the culture of which I am a part. .............
The following is secretly released by me: It's too late. I've been culturally protected (erased). Along with the infinitely endless list of unnamed cultures they are protecting from appropriation. None of which, as a result, will mankind ever hear about forever more. Just as diamonds, it is rumored, are forever. (1)(2) So too is the protection against cultural appropriation.
Yes, logic & reason do not exist in this ideology. Perhaps this intellectual field should be called Appropriation Ideology (AI). No one would get that confused with something else.
If you ask these courageous defenders, what is their culture? Anticipate a confused look on their faces.
Note: In this cultural appropriation section:
(1) Diamonds are Forever, the movie: the 7th James Bond movie produced by Eon Productions. 1971.
(2) Diamonds are Forever, the song/title track for the movie. Sung by Shirley Bassey, Music by John Barry, Lyrics by Don Black. EMI 1971.
Sub-note: My mind is in a mental whirlwind resulting from the effort to prevent the cultural appropriation of language.

To turn my leering leaching eye to the realm of "Notes", for example "Community Notes" and all other sources of information sometimes also called data either for or not for "checking" or any other purpose such as research. Can there be identified anything that is useless before one's encounter with such note (source)?
Requisite condition: How would one know for themself?
Do I hear it now? What you say?
Self-assigned complication rating: <1>). Or maybe zero.
Point: Everything old is always new to some or many.

What I am quite but not completely sure of is that I would support not preventing anyone from not doing what they do not want to do. However, in some situations I would not recommend such behavior.
