The Prince of Bavaria complained about the effect 'cultural appropriation' has had on Oktoberfest, bemoaning the fact that the annual German festival is 'just about wearing a costume to get drunk in.'
While speaking to a local radio station, Luitpold Rupprecht Heinrich said that the focus on spectacle has caused Oktoberfest to lose its way.
"When I see Chinese-made folk costumes made of plastic, pseudo-costumes with tight dirndls, then the whole thing becomes a carnival," Heinrich said, per the Daily Mail. "We all talk about cultural appropriation today. Here it's happening to us Bavarians!"
The great-grandson of the last Bavarian king is not alone in his concerns about how Oktoberfest has changed. Many traditionalists feel what is supposed to be a celebration of Bavarian culture has now become an excuse to dress up and drink.
"If the whole thing is just about wearing a costume to get drunk in...you lose a lot of culture and tradition in the process," Heinrich said.
The first-ever Oktoberfest in 1810 was a celebration of the wedding between Prince Regent Ludwig of Bavaria, the later King Ludwig I, and Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen.

So true about the broad faces! My ancestors on my father’s side all look like they had been hit with a flat iron.
Thankfully, I inherited my dad’s blue eyes, blond hair, and height, but got my mom’s face.

Oktoberfest Fest Ping
I last went to the Bavarian Octoberfest in 1967 and it seemed like women getting dressed up and everybody getting drunk was pretty much the thing.
I hope the costumes are the only thing that’s plastic!
Breasts advertise at a distance "Here is a fertile woman".
They also serve as an indicator of age and health, being perky in youth and drooping with age.
Sounds like this pansy has a serious case of “Bodacious Ta-Ta Envy”

There are few left but plenty of dark skinned women wearing burkas have replaced them.
No, I totally get what he’s saying.
Same thing happened on this side of the pond with Valentine’s Day, Halloween, Christmas, Easter, Mother’s Day...every holiday that used to actually mean something is turned into a cheap “sexy” marketing gimmick to unload freight cars of crap Chinese merchandise.
That ain’t culture, and he’s right to point it out.
Men like that kind of “cultural appropriation” and it can lead to sexual reproduction, so what’s the big deal?
Ladies and gentlemen,
Sorry to rain on your parade - but read in the original, it becomes quite clear that the Prince‘s words were meant ironically.
My proposal: let‘s all laugh with him 😂
