This feels silly but it’s caused a stink in my friend group

I 21f am pretty alternative looking, piercings, tattoos etc etc. my mom is very well meaning and loves that I express myself.

I recently went through a very difficult situation and to make me feel better my mom bought me a bunch of clothes she thought I’d like. Unfortunately the clothes are from a controversial company, Dollskill. I won’t get into why dollskill is controversial but they have had racist scandals in the past among other things

I told her they were cute and I loved her and appreciated the sentiment, told her I would prefer not to support the brand but she already bought the clothes so I was going to wear them and they were a very sweet gift.

I wore one of the dresses out to dinner with some friends and one of them immediately clocked it was a dollskill dress and asked why I was wearing it. I explained my mom bought them and she didn’t know about the company, she just saw clothes she thought I would like.

My friends started saying my mom needs to do her research and said I should have refused the clothes all together and refused to wear them due to their scandals.

I told them the clothes were already purchased, any damage done has already been done and I am not going to berate my mom for trying to do a sweet thing that just so happened to come from a negative company.

A few of my friends have decided I am an “unsafe person” to be around because I won’t get rid of the clothes and even wore them to an event.

I feel like this is silly, they’re just clothes and I didn’t buy them myself and now my mom won’t purchase from that company either.

AITAH

Edit: lemme make some shit clear 1) I am not a white woman, my mother is not a white woman. Idk why that’s relevant but I am black and so is my mom 2) I am as far left as they come, which means I give a shit about actual issues and not berating my mother for purchasing me a gift.
