Don't worry, SweetNicole is here to educate you ignorant peasants.
https://www.resetera.com/threads/eurocosplay-ban-league-of-legends-cosplayer-for-alleged-blackface.146227/post-25339360It's a blog post from a shitty site that generates content by letting bloggers/tumblrkin to fart out posts and ask for donations from other bloggers/tumblrkin that are dumb enough to do it for the culture.
And here's some quotes from the "article" she's claiming "accurately touches the heart of this issue."
Historically, white people used to dress up as black people to make fun of them and it was blatantly racists.
Sure, sure blackface is obviously a relic of the past when black people were openly mocked for looking different and used as a way to spread racism and stereotypes about them, yeah but those minstrel shows are nothing like a fully accurate full-body costume like this at all.
Cosplayers should love THEIR skin color and not alter it for their character. The whole point of cosplaying, at least for myself and many others, is to NOT be yourself for however long the convention is.
So the whole point, because this random blogger speaks for the entire community, is to be someone different from yourself, which of course logically follows the declaration that you shouldn't alter your skin color for your costume because you should love your skin color, except that it doesn't at all and that don't make no sense.
Personally, I enjoying seeing cosplayers take a character and change it and make it new again and that is what cosplaying is—freedom of expression not rigid "cannon" standards that cause you to feel bad about yourself if you're not dark enough to cosplay a character.
lmao but you damn white people making elaborate prosthetic costumes to express your appreciation for a character can get that ass banned
lmao grammar
lmao writing this long of a post to defend quasi black face
