I used to think it was funny, now I'm realizing how dangerous these types of people actually are. And even worse the video game industry surrounds themselves with these people and uses them for feedback.”User banned (x weeks): excusing blackface”
“Reeeeeeee!”
Reding the comments of the users that were banned over there you can see that they are just stating their opinions. The place is like a totalitarian state where you are supposed to agree with the regime or you will be locked up.I used to think it was funny, now I'm realizing how dangerous these types of people actually are.

It is a curated echo chamber. If you don't spew the same whiney knee-jerk bullshit that the rest of the hive does, you catch a permanent ban with the tag "History of <insert lie> behavior". This place truly is lucky that these basement dwellers left.Reding the comments of the users that were banned over there you can see that they are just stating their opinions.

This is absolutely dangerous and shows that fascism is very much alive in these people.

EuroCosplay ban League of Legends Cosplayer for alleged “blackface” - Dexerto
This portrayal resulted in the cosplayers disqualification from EuroCosplay 2019.www.dexerto.com
Fans recreating characters from their favorite TV shows, games, and movies in the form of cosplaying has become increasingly popular, with events such as EuroCosplay hosting even tournaments for the best ones.
However, One of the EuroCosplay 2019 finalists was removed from the competition after allegations that the cosplayer was wearing ‘blackface’ while portraying 'Pyke' from League of Legends.
Although the cosplayer was not specified in their statement, it later came to light that it was the competition’s French representative, Alice Livanart's impression of Pyke that was the cause of disqualification.
The cosplayer was apparently wearing a full-body skin suit to accurately represent the champion, however, it was deemed unacceptable by EuroCosplay, who apologized for any offense caused and disqualified Alice from the tournament.
Alice had previously won the French Cosplay cup and qualified for the EuroCosplay finals on September 22 with the detailed Pyke costume, which was estimated to cost the cosplayer over €3,000 to complete, according to RTL.
This fucking generation is nuts.
Yah, no, fuck gingers.If this is such a big deal I think they should be banning people who dye their hair red as it’s offensive to Gingers.
⚠User banned (100 years): Excusing cosplay
I think everyone has a mental illness nowadays. Search on any issue you have on Google and it suggests mental illness to you. A lot of crazy anti-meat and anti-whatever people became obsessed because they did a search on the internet and took it all in without second guessing any of it.Anyone who thinks something like this is offensive has mental illness.
While I agree, to me, the outfit isn't blatant black face. Seeing that she didnt actually paint her skin brown or black and it's a suit. However please don't try to speak for all black people, Ive seen some black women do a Tifa cosplay and get hated on(no altering of the skin color either). The ban is harsh no doubt though.I can't understand for this life of me how would someone be offended by this freaking amazing cosplay.
I'm a black man, and I'm speechless by how ridiculous this generation of youngsters can be.
I saw this very same thread on era and I'm laughing out loud with everyone being banned for dismissing the "problem". RIDICULOUS.

And yet I still think we need to lay down all this fixation on how actions "represent" stuff. We're so laser focused on whether something a person does has representative connotations and there's no room for people just doing something on a whim. You have to foresee all the insinuations and outsinuations and bysinuations of a mere thought or face the hyperbolic but lethal people mob stirred by the internet.While I agree, to me, the outfit isn't blatant black face.

Here in a America(where it originated from) it has a history, imo the individual should have known better.
If you don't intend to dress up in mockery, but instead do so respectfully and out of admiration, I don't see how that could be a bad thing. Maybe I'm missing something here. It's hard to even have this discussion when the example that caused it, this specific cosplayer, is so absurdly not malicious in any way lol.

Sometimes people do stupid things that happen to be offensive to somebody. I really think it's blown out of proportion; the perception of what actual damage it does to anyone (Nothing, just people masquerading self-attention with their "hurt feelings" imo)
The moderators banning people are the same ones who left this place a couple years ago by posting hardcore porn and demanding to be banned. The reason they just ban people and dont allow conversations about it is because they know they don't have the high ground. Or the intelligence required to defend their own decisions. Funny thing is, they're reading this thread and fuming.But this isn't even blackface. It's a skin tone to match a fictional character and it's done respectfully in my eyes.
Are there any black pople on this forum that have a problem with this? Serious question.
Edit: I checked out the thread on Resetera. What a joke they're banning every second user... Why even post there anymore when there is no discussion to be had.
Who says these moderators have any moral high grounds over their users?
It really didn't take them long to become power crazy did it?
Yeah we can't have a real blackface discussion in a thread where no blackface even happened. It's tough to do. But just because you didn't intend to mock, doesn't mean it's okay for a person to do something. But when being fair, that person would be told that what they did is wrong and they'd apologize and stop doing it.
The issue is when the person is told what they did is wrong and they want to fight for their "right" to continue to do said thing.
The bolded isn't fair or true. It's only blown out of proportion if you don't care about the people that raise the issue. Nobody wants to live in a world or country that thinks making fun of your race is "cool". Or having your race oversexualized is "awesome". People can be rightly offended if they believe people only view them as an outfit and not as "real people". See.......
yes he got tons of shit for what was a medical condition he had. his skin naturally turned white but so many rumors were started that he was doing this to his body. this is how obsessed people are with race, they should accuse a black man of whiting himself up for a joke.What Michael Jackson guilty of whiteface?
In my opinion(from what I know so far) she was wrong for darkening her skin tone to match another individual, same goes for lightening. Just because your so called half and half doesn't mean you get to jump back and forth and noone say anything. I don't know the woman so I'll leave that statement their but as a black male of two black parents I do not get to put on my skin tone with a makeup brush and remove it when convenient or non convenient. She should have been comfortable with the way her skin tone looks from the beginning.This reminds me of an incident my wife was involved in. She is biracial, but fairly light-skinned. She used to cosplay as Misty Knight and would wear her summer base/concealer that was a shade darker than her skin normal skin tone.
One day a picture of her in the costume pops up on some cosplayer's blog, someone she'd never met. Its a nasty piece about how dare she do black face with several readers dog piling, calling her racist, evil, etc. A few friends started replying back about her actual heritage and asking if a person of color can actually do black face. It shut everyone up that was attacking her but there was never an apology.
Anyway point I'm making us that most of those people are interested in a civil discussion. They just want to be outraged and be morally superior. Era can keep them.

Just saw the bans on Resetera..
My god.
Would it be amoral to put those culprit of blackface in tar and have them live like that for the rest of their lives?
I had to check that thread out myself and good lord that thread is a graveyard for some pretty innocuous comments.
Yuuup.. Got banned for saying I didn't think it was blackface
It's probably the only form of power and control they have in their miserable existence, so they can't help but abuse it.Yuuup.. Got banned for saying I didn't think it was blackface, but I get why she got kicked out. They're way too trigger happy over there, not everyone has to agree on everything..
