Same thing with the N word. If you tell a white person they can't say it, that's racism. And if they use that word derogatorily towards a black person, that's racism too.
To say I can't say the word while I'm singing a song that uses the word, or in proper context, "Mark Twain used the word 'nigger' quite a bit in his novels", pure racism.
You're telling someone they can't do something because of the color of their skin, that doesn't cease to be racist because the person in question is white. You're just conditioned to think that nothing you can do to a white person is racist.
The people who think that are full of shit, or trolling.
Now I'm mostly talking about Halloween and Cosplay, but there are other examples of blackface that black people don't care about.
Favorite example is Mr. Popo. Black people aren't boycotting DBZ. If they say they are, they're not fans of the show anyway.
It's like those people boycotting the NFL because of kneeling. They are full of shit, never watched football in the first place or they trolling.
as long as I can dress up like a basic bitch I'm fine with...
...aaaaaaaaand I just found next year's Halloween costume
Dude looks like he takes payment in burgers from Whataburger.
Cosplaying a humanoid dog is now blackface. What a time for Kim Jong-un to nuke it all.
Listen. It would be nice to live in a world where cosplayers can do w/e make up they want to "honor the character" or w/e. We don't live in that world. And maybe when black people finally get equality maybe cosplayers can start doing it.
And seriously not that serious to just you know...wear the costume without that make up. He didn't have to do it. And he wouldn't have been less of a person if he just wore the outfit. It's just cosplay. Fun to do, but not world changing if you can't make yourself black to do it.
I don't think he should go to jail or anything, but I think he's pretty culturally insensitive/ignorant to be doing it.
What about my immersion though?
Check your cosprivilege
Legit questioning why Nynja's feelings are so hurt because people are saying you can't do blackface.
But do you plan or have the desire to put on black face?
Because honestly this is the most active you've been on here in a good while.
Here's my problem with 99.999% of these it's not that serious why do you care just don't do it arguments. It implicitly makes it so only one side is allowed to care or have opinions about it and such because you know damn well you use that exact same statement but flipped positions and.... reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Some will tell you The New Jim Crow is the incarceration state, but it's actually white people not being allowed to do blackface.
We will overcome.
We couldnt save Niiro.
