Twitter called this cosplay “black face”

What?

[Anonymous No.10296826]

i can’t tell if she photoshopped herself to be black or if her editing skills are just that bad

If you use any kind of makeup/body paint to darken your skin, you're gonna rustle some jimmies and sounds like that's exactly what she did.

Okay, that was some retarded wording on my part, but what I meant is I think some people are assuming she used makeup to darken her skin because of that post mentioning makeup and of course, there are also some different people that think tanning for a character is blackface.

Nessa is darked skin, not tan.

It’s a nice cosplay but Nessa is black, not just tan. It is blackface because she’s trying to darken her skin to be a black character.

[Anonymous No.10296873]

I feel like this is pushing it because while I get the character is black, that's not blackface. Blackface is darkening your skin in a way that's wildly unrealistic for a absurd & comical effect. A realistic tan is not blackface because in no way does it make fun of black people. No. You can't change the definition of blackface. Had she actually painted her skin absurdly dark it would be, but this is not blackface. Most tanned characters aren't black anyways. This one is, yes, but most are suppose to be dark skinned Asians from the Philippines and all those countries people like to forget about. Also tanning for a swim character is normal. Very few lifeguards aren't tan. Misty is kind of unrealistic in that regard. Stop lessening the meaning of blackface.

Not blackface, just salty brown people and their enablers

[Anonymous No.10296878]

Plus, besides it just being tanned, you ever seen many Asians go out in the sun a bunch? A lot of them get super brown if they spend too much time in the sun. A lot of people don't realize how dark many Asians tan. Most don't just avoid the sun to prevent aging, it's also because most turn really dark.

At my darkest, back when I didn’t care about sunscreen, I was like a 320 on this chart. Years of sunscreen and staying inside later, I’m like a 110-120. If I used makeup to achieve my previous skintone, apparently it would be blackface.

Imagine getting fucking pressed over a cosplay instead of real issues. Don't listen to twitter retards, they have nothing to complain about so they do this.

okay, this one i DO find offensive because asians are notorious for their racism against blacks and dark skin in general, koreans especially

[Anonymous No.10296921]

>implying asians are a monolith that are all racist against black people

So what are you all trying to say? Black people can cosplay white and Asian characters but not vice versa?

American blacks people are notorious for racism against Asians, especially non-English speaking Asians. So they shouldn't cosplay anime characters too

>get a tan for a cosplay
hey, your skin do whatever
>slathering on fake spray tan, darker makeup or paint
dont, not for the sake of SJWs, but because you will most likely look you slathered shit all over yourself.

Well, that doesn't give you the right to be racist. Damn.

The girl in OP did it and it looks fine.

Shes made of mainly photoshop, and even outside of the photoshop her skin tone looks weird and off. It looks like a spraytan, which look like shit

ara ara, is that accurate? the jump in darkness increases dramatically on the two right arms, also the hue(color) levels are a bit inaccurate

[Anonymous No.10296984]

>>10296978
That picture is just of some random foundation swatches so hue might be a little off. But yeah, I would say I was a bit tanner than the grey shirt girl in pic related. Now I’m paler than some white people.

their cultures are literally collectivist and likeminded, so yeah

Blackface = white people dressing in a black caricature specifically for comedy. This may or may not be respectful but it isn't blackface as it isn't a caricature and isn't for "humour".

[Anonymous No.10297174]

Meh. Chances are spray tan will look smudged and shifty. She honestly doesn't have to tan; the only people who would complain about her """whitewashing""" the character are tumblr refugees on Twitter. If the costume is recognizable enough without tanning or lightening your skin, it doesn't matter to me.

[Anonymous No.10297217]

>>10297086
Honestly laughing at how you think that Asian people can't have unique thoughts and beliefs like any other individual. Also, I have news for you, white or black people aren't any less racist. So don't fall over yourself trying to defend them.
