Prince of Bavaria Calls ‘Low-Cut,’ Cleavage-Bearing Oktoberfest Costumes ‘Cultural Appropriation’

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.

How can we be expected to form a cogent opinion on this vital topic unless photos are presented in the thread?

I speculate that Oktoberfest has been about style vs substance for a very long time. Good luck trying to jam the German Genie back into the beer bottle.
I don’t know what he expects when something becomes this popular and far reaching.

Plastic? Chinese-made costumes? I don't get it. What is the problem? Women? Beer?

What? This guy has a screw loose.

He still has one eye to see the girls in the Chinese-made plastic garb!

I’m pretty sure boobs are common in all cultures and fairly popular in at least 90% of them.
The other 10% are liars.
