/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

So here's a series of examples. I think people have expanded the concept of what is blackface out too far. Can you say that her make-up makes you feel offended? Sure. I'd even say you could call her rude, insensitive and whatever other name you want. But looking back through the history of blackface, it's pretty hard to try to link this cosplay to what was the INTENTIONAL inaccurate depiction of people for the purpose of making fun of them. If someone changes their skin tone and is not making fun of people when doing so, I think it's hard to connect the two because without the direct intent to spread hate and hurt then it's pretty difficult to claim that his was damaging to the public.
