Hello love! Can you please answer this publicly? I didn't mean for my response to that cosplay post to derail a specific situation you were talking about and I should've made that more clear. What I was getting at really was just further explaining the differences between cosplaying a tan white character and actually doing brownface or blackface. I should've asked for context first and I'm sorry. :(
It’s fine, darling <3 I might have snapped because I expected social justice bloggers to pounce, but I don’t have a problem hitting the “ignore” button on them. I just wanted their attention away from my friend. But you’re a special case, I can’t just ignore you because you’re my beloved roommate.
I can no longer cosplay John Watson
He received a tan in Afghanistan. Because I am a suburban white girl. Only persons who have been darkened by the afghani sun should be able to cosplay John

Blackface: a style of make-up used to parody and enforce stereotypes of black culture in minstrel shows. The entire face and neck are covered in lamp black and the lips are enlarged with red paint. Black culture is divided into six melodramatic stereotypes and laughed at. That’s mean and the oppressive stereotypes still exist today.
Applying bronzer to darken inhumanly pale skin in order to cosplay a character that you love who spends a lot of time outside : Applying bronzer because you love a character and want to accurately portray them because YOU LOVE THEM.
Blackface: used to parody and create oppressive boxes and labels
Applying bronzer: applying bronzer.

Now tell me some more about how that second picture is intruding on your culture.
i think there should be a biological setting for ‘i dont want kids why do i need to ovulate/menstruate’ and then your period just ollies out for a while
like ‘ok bro i accept your life choices call me if you want a baby’
