“regularly cheated in competitive League games by using DDoS attacks” “is Nicolaj “Incarnation” Jensen, a highly skilled League player”

Yeah he actually does. Not even 1% of me felt this was racist... I don’t know why people are so uptight about this stuff.

The Lasso Tool is killing me.

Yeah you can. And you should be able to. There is absolutely nothing wrong with saying the word nigger if done in the proper context. Meaning you should be able to reference a time someone else said it, talk about the history of the word, or how it has affected people. But when you use it specifically to hurt someone…

You’re right trying to look like Will Smith is a total universal insult to human dignity.

The Real Photoshop one is my favourite, because of all them, I think you could legitimately prank someone with that. Brilliant.

Do you believe that the Will Smith impersonation above was done to mock or dehumanize black people at large? Or was it just a guy dressing like another guy?

It shouldn’t matter if people are offended. It’s an April Fools prank with no clear malicious intent. Being offended does not immediately make something wrong. We’re arguing the semantics of the term ‘blackface’ and it’s pretty clear that this really doesn’t fall into that category. They put some makeup on a guy to…

But then this isn’t blackface? This isn’t an attempt to mock black people, notice the lack of comically large lips, the steriotypical curly hair or attempts to use derogatory mannerisms.
Actual Blackface makeup is designed to portay an offencive caricature of african tribespeople.

This is a celebrity who looks like…

Considering that it’s really well done (no matter if actual make-up, or photoshop), and not just pitch black cream in his face, I’d say it’s hardly an offensive joke.

Depends on how it is pulled off. If the person did it respectfully, like makeup to match Tadanobu’s actual skin tone and slight makeup for the epicanthic fold, I’d be okay with it. Smothering his face in yellow and using tape to slant the eyes while dressing as Hogun outfit is an entirely different thing and I’d…

I think you are really pushing it too hard saying 'it's not excusable anywhere'. Even when there's clear differences in culture regarding visual play. It's not the same as in Japan as it is in America. And it's not right to push American politics and past into everywhere else. As much as it'd be wrong for Japan to…

Or maybe people shouldn’t over react to a situation? People should actually look up blackface before saying this is the same thing. He didn’t make a mockery of will smith by trying to imitate him.

I’m with you. Big difference.

I think it's more a visual play thing than anything. I think it's a bit much to imply there's an actual maliciousness at play here. It's not so much an 'excuse' as it's more that cultures just are really different especially in attitudes towards visual imitations. It's also not really limited to black people in…

So what you’re saying is that he’s a dude, playing a dude who plays another dude?

This is not done in malicious way, so people need to calm the hell down.

When is it black face and when is it simply someone simply dressing up as another race without trying to be insulting?

I’m kind of over the term “blackface” when there isn’t malicious intent. Darkening your skin (or hair, or eyes) to impersonate a celebrity really isn’t the same as this, which is making a disrespectful caricature of an entire race:

Because the sort of executive that greenlights these movies would ever spend a dime on "some struggling script writer's excellent original idea".
