Another black cosplayer here and I feel the same way, the only character I’ve never worn a wig for is Josuke since my hair is long and thick enough to style into a pompadour, which I wish this girl would’ve done to improve her cosplay.

part of good mental health is having love and appreciation for yourself. life is a gift, and you only have one body. having good esteem should be normal, but there's heavy discouragement all around us.
when you take care of yourself, and take pride in who you are you can be your best self.
if you disregard yourself and shit all over your characteristics and traits than you have major blocks in your path to joy.

there are things I have that you don't, and things you have that I don't. it's not supposed to inspire jealousy, that's a major personal problem and flaw.
say you have freckles. that's cute af to me at least and you should feel a healthy swell of pride when people compliment your skin.

no shitty agenda here. I think it's wonderful when people build each other up and feel encouraged to be their best selves.

Oh great job on making the armor/dress! Not, Oh great job on making the armor/dress for a black person. I get the latter when they use obnoxiously hashtags like that. Like the 28daysofblackcosplay is fine alone, but then they add others like #blackcosplayersrepresent or #blackpower and you're just diluting the post and shifting the message away from your cosplay to a political message which isn't related, and in the end overpowers your original message.

as a lolita with huge thick 3c hair it takes more time to get my hair small and compact enough for a wig to fit and look nice than it does for me to get all dolled up the rest of the way.

I think the other thing is, because of natural volume and the fact that you can get so creative with black hair types, a lot of cosplayers might just be trying to take advantage of their natural hair.
most cosplayers I see use wigs so I don't quite understand the complaints implying wigless cosplay is a major trend among black cosplayers.

There's actually several documentaries about black people from both America and Africa living in Japan, and most of them talk about how great it is, because the people are generally curious and interested in their culture. Japan isn't the racist politically incorrect wonderland you probably imagine it to be, sorry you got your hopes up. Korea is the high-key racist place, so you may be thinking of them.
And even if that was a valid argument, it's not like anime itself is racist. Are you saying you and everyone else who's into it are such hardcore Japanophiles that you must copy even the social nuances of a country you're only into the pop culture of? Because if that were true, there'd be far less screeching, autistic, unwashed, socially tone-deaf hambeasts running around in this hobby. That's for sure.

SJWs are racist as fuck. They just RP as progressive on the internet for brownie points. In fact, most of them are the main people talking down to everyone on Twitter and Tumblr for being "racist", but IRL they don't put their money where their mouth is. You're just shooting yourself in the foot here by mentioning them.
Another thing, you don't need to say "nigger" and larp as a /pol/ak to be racist. It can be way more nuanced than that, and it usually is, which is why it flies under the radar as just part of the community. If it wasn't a thing, the whole "28 days of black cosplay" thing wouldn't exist.

You're the one who was arguing that racist weebs are just emulating grorious nippon. I never mentioned anything about America.

Logan Paul's a shithead, even by American standards. They were completely correct to come down on him. Would you take it lying down if a bunch of tourists acted obnoxious and bothered people in your town/city, then made fun of someone who killed themselves? If so, that's really a "you" problem, I think.
You using him as an example of them "turning on foreigners" basically ruins your entire argument, and makes it sound like foreigners (especially white people) in general are annoying, tone-deaf retards. Somehow, no black person in Japan has ever found themselves running into that level of trouble, but an entitled YouTuber kid of white, American descent gets himself into a huge mess? Hmm.
>Lmfao that's why there's sooo many black characters to choose from in any given anime, right?
So, you're saying it's racist for a country to not push a minority they're not really used to seeing IRL relentlessly in their media? It sounds like you're an SJW, and that you want Japan to be America. That's pretty fucked up.
Plus, you must be the one who's new, retarded (or both) if you think dark-skinned characters are a rarity.

Unless you're saying you interviewed a bunch of locals to ask how they feel about black people, I'm willing to bet they don't care about them as long as they keep to themselves, and mostly avoid them when they act suspicious (like smoking in the park), as opposed to actual racism.

They're accepting and welcoming if you're respectful and don't cause a ruckus. I don't know what's so hard to understand about that, or why you're using an understandable level of disgust against a foreigner who's literally known for his shitty antics as "proof that they're racist".

So, if I'm not an insane SJW who thinks the big bad Japs are out to get me because they talked shit about some obnoxious, foreigner who used a dead man in their country to get views, I'm just not "reading between the lines"? It sounds like you're reading too far into things to fuel a stupid victim complex.
If you don't know how to act, no shit, no one will like you. Not everywhere is your playground. That person even said "foreigners like Logan Paul", not foreigners in general like you're grasping so hard for. Unless, I mean, you're saying that you act like Logan Paul, in which case, I don't think most Americans want you in their country either, because you're probably contributing to its crime rate.
>but what you don't get is that they expect nonrespect from foreigners and don't care about the ones that can blend into their society without sticking out like a sore thumb
Maybe that's because so many foreigners actually act that way. Most of them still don't despise foreigners on principle, though, or else there wouldn't be nearly as much cross-cultural interaction as there is today.
And like I said, somehow, no black person has ever gotten that much backlash, but somehow a white American YouTuber who thinks the world is his video/photo op got some well-deserved chiding, so that means Japan is some evil racist country?
>But no, keep believing that they'll accept you because you're a speshul snowflake. Nevermind the shoulderchecks, discomforted looks, people asking to touch your skin or take photos of you like a zoo animal, any and all forms of passive aggression made against you
You sound like an actual speshul snowflake who thinks people bumping into you or looking in your direction must be some sort of racial attack, lmao. The photo and skin-touching thing isn't even common unless you're in a rural area where no one ever sees non-Japanese people (which, again, no one who can help it actually goes to).

I highly recommend that documentary, there's various other youtube channels which i'll try to dig up later as well.

Japanese people are the whites of Asia. No matter how much you want to defend them because you LOVE ANIME, you have to accept that they're much further behind in many social issues than us in the west. And the west is far from perfect.

This, it's funny how much stock people put into the "WE ASKED JAPAN ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE" videos. They haven't heard of Honne and Tatemae.


>Honne and tatemae are Japanese words that describe the contrast between a person's true feelings and desires (本音 hon'ne, "true sound") and the behavior and opinions one displays in public >(建前 tatemae, "built in front", "façade").

>Honne may be contrary to what is expected by society or what is required according to one's position and circumstances, and they are often kept hidden, except with one's closest friends. Tatemae is what is expected by society and required according to one's position and circumstances, and these may or may not match one's honne.

Couldn't find it on YouTube, but I did check out the trailer. It seems to mostly go into mixed people being bullied as kids by other schoolchildren, which is normal in America. Plus, the doc still seems to create an overall uplifting message about the country, makes it a point to highlight that there's racism and prejudice everywhere you go, and that things are improving.

I take business trips to these countries regularly, I'm respectful of the culture, dress nicely, know basic phrases in both languages, and follow the expected behavior in the culture to the best of my ability. I'm treated better than native citizens the majority of the time, people are genuinely friendly to me, and assume I'm in a higher social/income status than I actually am. All you've done is look up people on youtube who act like victims because they can get free publicity and money from it. If they didn't walk around acting like jackasses and carried themselves with respect, instead of dressing like skanks or wearing trashy batman tshirts trying to look gangster, they'd probably have a completely different experience. Bottom line is, these "victims" always have made the choice to TRY standing out against the culture, and it's no wonder the society doesn't respect them for it. Like how the hafu trying to represent the Japanese absolutely demands that everyone treat her like a 100% native when she looks NOTHING at all like everyone else there yet still wants them to see her as the real face of Japan.

Maybe that's because when literally every other race of people in America talk about "pride", it generally just means they're happy to be who they are in spite of being a minority.

They never seem to know how to act about these things. That's probably why it's always "Italian pride", "French pride", "Scandi pride", etc etc. Because no one wants to be "that guy".

The gag is, she wouldn't have been nominated Miss Japan if no Japanese people wanted her there in the first place, or if none of them saw her as Japanese. There were Japanese people who were happy to accept her, in spite of the naysayers, so it should actually be an uplifting story about overcoming racism and achieving your goals.

Typically if you're trying to dress professionally, you're not wearing comic book shirts. If you want to be respected by older people in Japan, don't dress like you're still thirteen. It's not hard. Have some class and lose the graphic tees. You think some middle aged man in Japan walking around with a hentai shirt would gain any respect from their society? It's not just "race" that plays into how people treat you. If you're not wearing business clothes in Japan as a foreigner, you might as well have your pants sagging down to your ankles.

So basically, black cosplayers want asspats and special treatment for cosplaying even if the cosplays are mediocre. And they want special treatment for doing what others already do. And of course if they don't receive this special treatment then there are screams of racism and discrimination.

So for a group screaming "muh oppression" and demanding equality, it seems like equality is not wanted but rather special treatment.

Oh, it wasn't disrespectful that she was chosen, it was her saying stuff like...
>"I want to start a revolution. I can't change things overnight but in 100-200 years there will be very few pure Japanese left, so we have to start changing the way we think."
Where "we" implies the Japanese people.

>Bit of backstory for how this whole thing actually backfired terribly
People were mostly ambivalent about her up until she started speaking for the rest of Japan like this. When she started saying stuff like that, people lost their shit. This occurred at the same time that the UN was trying to make Japan relocate Syrian refugees into their country, and Abe only approved 11, which they again faced criticism for. She decided to speak for everyone in Japan on how they should feel about being "replaced", which is presumptuous and disrespectful for someone who's actually of dual citizenship. Not her being chosen. Well, either way Japan swung hard to the right and is probably now more isolationist than they were. This was at least how it was explained to me, that she "had two homes but Japanese only have one". I was under the assumption most people knew it was the comments she made which upset most people, rather than just her being half black.

Doesn't seem like paranoia to me, anon. We treat children like they're special for everything, even if it's bad.

It's condensing to do it to adults/teenagers. Especially just because of the colour of their skin. I don't know why anyone should be celebrated for mediocrity for a reason like that- why would that feel good.

To be fair I did, do, find pale skin women beautiful. But that was more in my youth, before I matured a bit. I've been to America a few times, been with many women of differing ethnicity and nationalities. Now I'm older and just like educated black women aesthetically and emotionally. Plus some are insanely beautiful. Korea puts too much emphasis on the same aspects, so every "cute girl" has the same damn look.

That's because those cultures in America were stolen from them. Black people in America don't know what part of Africa they're from because of slavery. If Black people could find their roots and trace them back to where we all came from, we'd have those individual identities, but we don't because erasure throughout history.

I'm not putting words in anyone's mouth. If you believe anything less than violent discrimination and discrimination of opportunity, is detrimental to the well being of the 'victim.'
You've probably never faced actual hardship or discrimination.

There are several points made in this fact sheet, none of which refer to the overall majority US degrees being awarded to black females.

The first is the rate of increase in bachelor's degrees relative to past years.

>During this period, the number of certificates awarded increased by 37 percent for Black students (from 129,900 to 177,900)

The second is for associate's

>and the number of degrees earned by Black students increased by 66 percent (from 81,200 to 134,500)

The third is observing that the majority of degrees go to women rather than men across all ethnic groups. The data is divided by ethnic groups.

>Across racial/ethnic groups, larger shares of undergraduate degrees and certificates were awarded to female students than to male students in academic year 2013–14

>For example, the shares of bachelor's degrees earned by female students were 64 percent for Black students

This means out of the black population receiving degrees, 64% of them are female. It is well known that women enter college at higher rates than men.

I hoped that helped you. Maybe you should take a few literacy courses of your own.
