I think nowadays people consider this blackface because she’s using the skin color as a costume

it’s not traditional blackface with the caricature aspects. From what I understand (and I could be wrong because this shit is confusing) people are mad because she can take it off and she still has her white privilege, whereas black people can’t do that (?)
Again, kind of a headache but I think that’s why people are mad

Man, if that's the case then it's best to avoid cosplaying a character who either is LGBT in any way, has a disability whether it be mental or physical, is on the autistic spectrum or even is a woman because of course they still suffer nowadays yo.

[Anonymous No.10269856]

>>10269819
that's part of it; yes.
The suit may be prosthetic but prosthetics are a form of makeup ergo it's a brown skin suit ergo it's seen as a form of raceface due to the things you mentioned plus the fact she's white.

This site actually covers a bunch of the replies and retorts and such of the black/raceface issue.

I mean; if you're gonna take those types of people and cosplay them but do it in a denigrating way; then of course you shouldn't. Cause that'd make you a fat cunt. But otherwise; there's no issue at all with cosplaying a character such as this. Minus disabilities like needing a wheelchair. Don't be a fucking asshole and cosplay someone who is chairbound and actually use a wheelchair. Fuck you if you ever do.

[Anonymous No.10269859]

Fact is there are other skins of the character she could have used, she chose to do that one. The character has an Undead skin with lighter tone and she could have just gone for that one.

Wait so cosplaying professor X or something and using a chair as a prop isn't okay? To me it's the same as adding glasses even if you have good vision or a walking stick/staff for some characters even if you don't need the support. What's the issue with it?

[Anonymous No.10269875]

>>10269865
In this case; you're mimicking an actual disability when you have none. Some people have special needs and you're prop could actually become a hinderance to this. Or; you could take advantage of a situation that a real disabled person could need. Consider it on the same level as taking up a handicap spot and you aren't handicapped. It's considered THAT bad and assholish.

People talk about glasses as a disability aid a lot in the lolita threads and no ones seems bothered by cosplay glasses.

If they aren't attempting to take advantage of services or aid or get attention for being disabled when they're not and just using it as a prop for photos, but otherwise walking instead of taking up space on ramps and not trying to use handicap parking or something, where is the issue?

As far as I am aware, purchasing a wheelchair or renting one isn't taking it away from someone else right?

It would seem weird to me if someone cosplayed a canonical wheelchair character and ignored their disability; it would almost seem more like erasure which could arguably be worse since many with physical or mental ailments often are disappointed by lack of representation in media.

I mean, glasses help disabilities but they aren't on the level of like using a wheelchair when you aren't disabled or a walking stick when you aren't blind but wanna be Daredevil.

Like how you mentioned about space being taken up or taking advantage of services; those are the main issues. There's people who do do this. I remember a disabled cosplayer telling her story how some guy hogged the elevator with his prop chair when he wasn't even disabled whereas she actually needed it.

"Accuracy" is one of the things the black/racefacers say. It's not really needed.

Black person here that isn't a hardcore SJW and while I am less sensitive about it than other black people, I personally don't find actual racist blackface offensive in any intense way, just stupid and tasteless.

Legitimate spray tan or color for a cosplay--a literal high fidelity costume, or even stuff for film (though I see no reason to not just hire a real brown skinned person if it's a movie) seems perfectly fine to me. Prosthetics or things beyond makeup may take it a bit far if it isn't a character with unrealistic facial features or something but the goal is a good representation of the character and if body paint is acceptable for unnatural skin colors it should be acceptable for natural ones too.

I won't judge a cosplay as worse if it has or doesn't have body paint but appreciate the effort. Some people are bothered and if you're white you're walking on eggshells already these days senpai so just be smart and accept the risk of offending more sensitive people.

[Anonymous No.10269919]

>>10269906
Not joking. There's been plenty of PoC now (current Livanart issue) and in the past (like 2 months ago minimum) asking non-PoC to talk to their friends/people they know on their behalf. Mostly because said people simply will not listen to a PoC. They're more likely to listen to a friend then random internet stranger number 1928402375. But, they also won't listen to a non-PoC; in many cases. And yet, when a white person says they will only entertain hearing from a black person, they will dismiss them still with "lol i'm gonna do it anyways (darken their skin)". (ONBLUESNOW comes to mind).

[Anonymous No.10269921]

>>10269905
Also black guy non-hardcore SJW. Personally, it doesn't bother me either. But since cosplay is a "world scale" thing; people should be more mindful of these things. As has been said, there's really no excuse when you can Google and find tons of recent examples of raceface and the backlash associated with it.

I remember when a white guy showed up at a con as Emiya Alter from FGO. Like, how could you even think that was a smart idea in this day and age?

Chair or walking stick prop becomes an issue in busier cons because you’re taking up space in the walkway and people have to make room for you. Walking stick is fine unless you’re actually using it as a walking stick. Stuff like chairs wouldn’t be allowed in, for example, NYCC because it’s so crowded and there limited accessibility for people who legitamely need additional support to get around. If you want to use a big mobility prop, fine, just don’t bring it with you to a con and expect too many accommodations

I have no intention of doing that sort of cosplay but I was just curious if the issue is the action of having a wheelchair as a prop itself or the likelihood or frequency of people attempting to scam or take advantage of the system with their prop and it seems to really just be the latter.

Correct. "Blackface" today isn't the same as blackface in the 1920s when people were running around with charcoal faces and red lips. She isn't blackfacing to be disrespectful but cosplay doesn't exist in a bubble. When a black person cosplays they're often ignored or receive hate because of their skintone, so it's so it's disrespectful to then turn around and instead applaud a white person for "being" black. They are profiting (receiving money or fame) off of being black without any of the disadvantages that actual POCs have to deal with.

So many people in these twitter threads are crying that they aren't personally racist so it's okay to do this, but that doesn't matter because of the world we live in. Convince everyone in the world to stop being racist and then maybe blackfacing will be okay.

Eurocos had no options.

The dumb bitch knew that this was considered blackfacing by some, in April. She did not contact anybody if this was OK, she just carried on until mcm has to deal with it. And they do, because otherwise they will be known as racist con.

Then the French start crying because blackface is only blackface if it are others, not when it is one of your own. Adding some memes and an organisation hell bent on adding fuel to the fire. And now she is their hero.

And, fuck, here comes the beauty part: she is pressuring other contestant to drop out, asking her followers to do the same and some contestants have even received death threats by those followers. And she keeps egging those on.

That with some clear transphobic slurs.

Eurocosplay event was bashed by SJWs to remove this cosplay (not the cosplayer, she was asked to choose another cosplay to wear for the contest) so they did. Now they are bashed by livanart fans and French community in general, the fact France hosts ECG, the only direct competitor to Eurocosplay, and given long not the best history of UK-FR relations only gives them motivation.
As a public event, Eurocosplay will bend to those who bashes them harder and expresses their disagreement more vocal.
Remember how 5 years ago or so no one even cared about blackface in cosplay? The situation has changed.
SJWs need to show it's actually bad to do blackface and it's bad to support those who does blackface on this very example since other side is trying to make a movement out of this, asking others competitors to drop out of the event and shaming/sending death threats to those who will still take part, which will eventually kill the event.
If you will show it's allowed to act like this, no other event will cater to your blackface opinion, so you need to act.
Attack livanart opinions, voice your own opinions proving her wrong, do your best to deplatform her and her supporters by sending racism reports to facebook, instagram or wherever she is, do the same with those who support her.
She is doing a bad thing in your eyes, right? Make sure you work on it.

They aren't necessarily misinformed. Different people just interact with and experience racism differently. We fix society so that people who feel the effects of harm are treated equally.

Ayrt and if you actually read what me and the other poster said instead of insulting PoC and treating us like we're too stupid or 'brainwashed' by white people to have valid opinions or experiences just because we disagree with you you would have seen that me and the one or two other black posters said while we personally don't feel offended and dislike a lot of over-sensitivity, we also understand some people are bothered by it and think the smarter thing to do to avoid upsetting them is steer clear of controversial actions/practices.

>>10270444
I am not misinformed and I can empathize with people who are offended while not being offended or wanting to silence or exclude people myself.


I fucking hate white people who pretend they're the savior to every black person on the planet but really they don't give two fucks about how black people feel unless they agree with them.

The same way my words and opinions as a black person don't speak for all black people, some SJW white person's don't speak for all black people either.

The fact that one of you even had the nerve to use the term Uncle Tom or imply a black person can't be intelligent enough to disagree with you just to try to shut someone up who disagrees with you shows you care nothing about the agency of black people and just want to use them to strengthen your own arguments or ideas by considering them brainwashed if they think differently than you.

TL;DR Blackface is offensive to some but not all. In general it's polite to avoid doing things that offend people, within reason, so probably try to avoid doing anything equivalent if you want to stay on people's good side. And white savior complex anons itt can go fuck themselves

They said my words don't speak for everyone but they or others literally claimed that someone who they aren't speaking for and thinks differently must be a misinformed Uncle Tom bootlicker. That's just bullshit. I treat everyone the fucking same and I'm not some The cosplay in question is such a high fidelity costume I don't even see why people are bothered by the skin tone issue. Instead of thinking "oh, well it's cool they recreated a whole human face and body structure of a character they like" people instead think "wow this white girl is a racist piece of shit for liking a black character enough to literally want to wear their skin"?

It really makes no sense and while I dislike racism, etc., obviously, I find the desire of white people to silence minorities that don't feel oppressed or think too optimistically to be angry or sad about the supposed racism in everything that white people do sinister and likely to do more harm than good to the people these white saviors think they're helping.

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.

If it looked anything like pic related it'd be racist.

Not the person you replied to, but I think intent matters. The cosplayers intent was to make a detailed and accurate cosplay of the character. The intent was not to exaggerate features on black people like pic related. I think it's cool that she like a character so much she'd find a way to cosplay it accurately despite how different the character looks are from her own. I'm not black, but I am a POC and I know I'm only one opinion, but I also believe her cosplay is fine and love the effort put into it.

Intent is always one of the cited responses. But, anything like darkening your skin brown is going to be linked to blackface simply due to history. There's no escaping this fact. But people just wanna use the textbook definition/minstrel shows version as the only acceptable example of blackface.

I mean that makes sense right? It shows she's dedicated to her artistic pursuit and very talented, therefore her work is less likely to have a racial intent.

I agree. It's just my opinion on the matter. I can't tell other people to not be offended because I can not dictate the way another human feels. I do hope one day one can see intent is what matters because I don't like the idea of certain races not able to cosplay certain characters when it's all fictional at the end of the day. In my eyes seeing a white person wanting to cosplay a character who isn't their own race is really neat, but again I understand others will not share this view with me.

[Anonymous No.10270581]

>>10270567
The point I was making is that there was no ill intent; she put a lot of effort into respectfully depicting a character she revered; she didn't pull a Justin Trudeau and put tar colored paint on her face to make a mockery of dark people.

>>10270565
I am not dismissing their opinions, I literally said that since some people are bothered by it you should probably avoid it if you want to avoid upsetting those who find it offensive. It's sad that you keep dismissing the opinions of other POC just because they aren't the same as those of the people you agree with.

The opinions of myself and all the other people itt who weren't particularly bothered or severely emotionally affected by this cosplay have pretty much been:
>We don't care but obviously others do so don't do it unless you're willing to accept the consequences of seriously upsetting those that are bothered by it, the polite thing to do knowing that the internet is global is to avoid offense when possible.

How or why is having a neutral non-hateful or non SJW level opinion that takes into account everyone's feelings somehow sad or dismissive?

Those pissed off people have the right to be pissed off and I get that they are more sensitive to the subject than me but I also have a right to not find it racist and just think her black man skin suit is pretty cool technically speaking.

The they're not cosplaying the character accurately then. Not that it's an absolute necessity, but I'd understand some cosplayers wants to make it as accurate to the character as possible. I mean shit RDJ got away with worse in Tropic Thunder and he was probably the most liked character in that shitty movie.

Again, I understand why some would be offended I just think intent is still more important in the grand scheme of things.

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.

There were arguments for years that all anime characters were actually white and not asian based on their cartoon features; plus most asian characters tend to have a similar skin shade and just different tone than whites so there is less of a difference from the original for many people at a glance.

It literally did during the run of the movie. He still got to do the part, he still got paid. As opposed to the cosplayer who is not allowed to cosplay at whatever event she was going to and is forced to change her cosplay or not go. in comparison RDJ absolutely got a free pass.

What I find intresting about the black face/ race face issue, is that as a French person I never thought that painting your skin a color lighter than the one of a black person would be considered offensive. I obviously can't know how people of every ethnicity is treated in the country but we don't really have a lot of discrimination toward hispanics or east asians that is directly toward skin color ( maybe arabs on that level ). The discrimination is more based on the person culture, way of speaking and face/body shape/hair. I remembered the story of an armenian lady who never faced blatant rascim in France, but when she travelled to the US, shop clercs would treat her like shit but not her white husband and she didn't understood why.
Same thing with box braids/cornrows : I couldn't understood that black people could get shit for wearing they hairs natural or have traditional haistyles because it never caused probleme in my schools ( but my city is chill so it could be diffrent in the country). When I see other countries getting angry at people darkening they skin for a fantasy character/ without a specific race I find it quite weird. So cultural diffrences can be really big and we honestly can't choose a worldwide rule that easly.

Also come on since the girl was aware of the black face issues she could had least make it look more like a corpes since the character is deseaced ( I thought is was an orc with the shade on some pictures )

I have heard this as well. It seems to me that if french people understand that racial discrimination is a very big problem in other countries they should acknowledge that instead of saying that the cosplayer should be able to compete with and in those countries without being judged.

I gotta say, it's so funny to me how people are acting like she would have won if she hadn't been disqualified. One of the only costumes she frequently posts is this incredibly mediocre zach fischer/gijinka kindred. Just seems like she's one of those 15 foot rule people, up close her craftsmanship is nothing special. Her sculpting is pretty good sure, but it seems like she only got this far due to the novelty of a molded suit considering how inaccessible silicone is to most cosplayers. I don't think that suit alone could make up for the rest of the costume.

YES. Who cares about a few bumps or bad paint or whatever. She made a SKIN out of SILICONE. That's pro. Show me just one of her competitors who's done that. Even show me one cosplayer anywhere who's ever done that.

[Anonymous No.10271494]

>>10271489
Many of the competitors used sculpting and resin casting, which shares many of the base skills with silicone casting.

The materials that go into silicone casting are expensive and when all is said and done, takes up a lot of space (especially when using a stiffer mold, like livanart did.) On top of having to pay top dollar for silicone, you have to spend a shit ton of cash on the mold itself. Most cosplayers are going to use their budget to make sure that the whole cosplay is up to standard instead of hoping that the one good thing about their cosplay carries them to victory.

And bumps and bad paint matter, just because you use a rare method doesn't mean you're "pro." Anyone can misuse their tools, just like using expensive oil paints doesn't make you a better artist. Cosplay contests are judged on technique, not wow-factor. For instance, worbla is often too expensive for most cosplayers to use, but if you don't file down the seams or prime it properly, you're going to fucking lose because your craftsmanship is lazy and poor.

And plenty of cosplayers make use of silicone casting. Cowbuttcrunchies and KeltonFX instantly come to mind off the top of my head.

There's a chance the other competitors had only seen her costume from the heavily produced pictures of it, and haven't seen it in real life. They probably hadn't seen the progress pictures either since livanart was a literally who until the controversy. A lot of the flaws are only visible up close. The judges would have spotted them easily and deducted points accordingly, especially since Cowbuttcrunchies has experience with silicone casting.

That doesn't matter.

That would be colorist in that case. It's an increasingly common opinion that darkening your skin for cosplay in general isn't a good idea. The reason POC aren't instantly safe from this is due to the fact that darker skinned POC are discriminated against more strongly than light skinned POC, and it's not out of the question that the latter can discriminate against the former. Even in so-called SJW circles, POC aren't granted immunity from accusations of prejudice, it just has a different name because it refers to prejudice based on skin tone rather than strictly on race.

This was nothing but a (successful) pr stunt for a mediocre cosplayer to gain recognition. She knew what she was doing.

The suit is lumpy looking and awful. But the community is talking about her and acting like she would have won otherwise. It worked.

It's definitely not okay to refer to POC as "coloured" in the UK. The Wikipedia article is wrong on this. The "citation" is a book from 1970 which - understandably, given the era - uses the term as a descriptor, but it's not really acceptable use it nowadays. Literally [citation needed]

Because it isn’t relevant. Roger Ebert never made a movie and yet he was the most respected film critic of all time. That goes for all art fields, you don’t have to prove you’re capable of making said art to be able to criticize it. What you’re demanding is literally on the level of 13 year olds saying “go make a better movie” whenever somebody criticizes something like Twilight.

Even then, if anybody proves their worth, it wouldn’t matter because you tards can’t come up with counterpoints and only demand things that allow you to confirm your artificial superiority. And if their work was up to par, you fucks would still keep moving the goalposts and talk about other irrelevant shit. It’s better not to give you newfags the satisfaction. Gulls shit on others’ cosplays and the fact that you aren’t aware of that makes it abundantly clear that you don’t know what you’re talking about and need to lurk more.

For all you who believe that intent matters, she intended to offend people, end of story. It’s pretty sus how according to OP.GG she appears to have only one game as Pyke, and he’s one of the least played champs that she owns. Doesn’t sound like the character means all that much to her, more that she chose something that she knew would spark outrage as part of her PR stunt.

So I suppose the question is, where do we go from here? Make it illegal for people with a white skin to cosplay what they want? Make countries to create laws saying you have to be a percentage of non-European decent to cosplay what you want? Legally recognize black face and punish the cosplayers who do so by forcing them to make cosplays for blacks?
The entire thread is a pointless bitchfest about morality yet no one could be bothered to talk about application of legality. Either "art" like this is kept legal regardless of skin color or you make cosplaying outside a skin color punishable by law. So which is it?

[Anonymous No.10272013]

>>10272002
Or; you know, stop painting/using makeup to darken your skin aka a racist act with historical implications. This isn't hard to do yet people make it seem like you're spitting in their mother's face. People bitch saying "I can't cosplay how I want!" and yet you can; you'll just suffer ramifications for doing certain things.
Cosplay a Nazi? Risk getting punched or something else. Darken skin with makeup/prosthetic makeup? Get blasted online, get disqualified from competitions.

The phrase, "Cosplay how you like!" may as well have a * next to it which means - don't cosplay historically offensive and cultural things. Wow; SO limiting! I could never figure out who to cosplay with SUCH a limit on options!

The moment someone gets physically hurt for their cosplay is the moment governments will start taking action to place limitations. This girl in combination with Trudeau is already bringing up questions of the legality of blackface.
Because you've already implied there has to be an "asterisk" in cosplay, that means limitations have to be placed. There is no cosplaying as you like. There cannot be no legal ramifications if cosplays like this will be the cause of civil unrest and violence.

She's suffered nothing amongst her European community. She's now viewed as another white girl blackface martyr. She's the perfect saint who can do no wrong. And if she does (and she did); the white people and others who don't mind it will forgive her (and have).

The cosplay community is the worst part about cosplay and blackface is literally the most retarded non-issue I've ever seen. Why do people like being mad for no fuckin reason? Is the fake moral high ground that emotionally rewarding? Like seriously how desperate for wins do you have to be to reach this hard.

Half of you are actually retarded. Spend less time getting mad and more time cosplaying. The only thing that matters is intent; if the intent is to look as close to the character as possible, it's fine.

It's hardly been a problem for decades because we've had generations of people who have been taught in school racism was bad, everyone is equal and grew up together with people of different ethnicities.
Here's what was the norm around 10 years ago give or take: the US president was black and everyone would roll their eyes at the dudes who thought he was a Muslim because we KNEW that was dumb, one of the top Youtubers [Ray William Johnson] at the time would crack jokes by throwing a toy black baby into the wall as his dumb ass style of comedy, and everyone was memeing about Gangnam style - though nowadays the snowflakes would probably cry that's appropriating Korean culture.
It took less than 10 years for the SJW lot to make everyone and their mother tense about doing ANYTHING they enjoy. We used to just ignore shit if we didn't like it or just put our money where our mouths were and support the opposite, like supporting black cosplayers instead if we didn't like the white cosplayer's portrayal of a character.
Regardless if this cosplaying French bitch did this on purpose, her cosplay has shined a light on how petty this shit has gotten. Less than 10 years ago we were concerned about actual things that harmed people like joblessness (Occupy Wallstreet protested about) and schooling (Standardized testing). Now we're fucking screeching about if some bitch on twitch puts on makeup that's a shade too darker than her skin color or punching people because they decided to cosplay a nazi for the lulz.
Cosplay is supposed to be a hobby where no one has to think about stupid political shit and don't have to take things seriously but no we can't even have that anymore because y'all think you have ownership on some worthless fictional character because of their SKIN COLOR.
