/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

responding to bait thread, but

I mean, you have to be a little bit obtuse to be a <40 yr old living in le current year to not see why people might have a problem with this. It's a huge reach to suggest that the girl should be ~cancelled and that there was deliberate racist intent; I think some of the arguments are pretty valid wrt cultural crossed wires (I've read some claims that blackface isn't really recognised in France, among other things) but you'd have to be kind of wilfully ignorant to engage in English-speaking social media and not realise that constructing a skin suit of a person of colour is incredibly tone deaf.

>Being so hell bent on seeing everything as racist or intentionally choosing not to give people the benefit of the doubt when there was no ill intent is harmful and silly. So is claiming you want agency for POC and then denying it to them when they don't agree and treating them as defective or otherwise lesser. How is that any different than actual racism?
