I get your feelings but no, that can never be how we do this.  That way lies angry mobs and strange fruit.  We can never repeat that.

If you google Cher this is the top “news” story:

Wow talk about a blanket statement. Have you been to India? Know many Indians?

I’m sure it’s a fine appliance, but we have lots of appliances.

I can’t say that most Fit owners care about any of the issues you just mentioned.

Seriously, who eats Panera’s Mac & Cheese? Probably the same mofos who love Jimmy John’s and Burger King tacos.

The term “troll” has been applied to mean anyone that intentionally tries to get a reaction or response out of someone else since the days of fucking dial-up. Griefing, shitposting, and flaming are just specific flavors of trolling.

Don't defend trolls

Na, trolls are just what they act ass, rascist, mean spirited, asshole, bullies and shouldn’t be allowed to have a platform at all.

One of the biggest and worst failings of social media in general is the outright incapability, willful and otherwise, to regulate their own platforms effectively. Part of the reason Twitch even started featuring other kinds of streaming content that wasn’t exclusively about gaming was because there wasn’t enough money…

In PA that sort of language is merely the colloquial patois...

I’m sure she was just upset about her truck and this doesn’t reflect who she is as a person. She is sorry and might even admit that she should’ve chosen her words more wisely. Nothing to see here, folks.

...made racially charged remarks to a parent

If the intent matters than the fact that Livanart heard criticisms from ‘some black people’ and did it anyway matters more.

On the one hand, I am having a tough time deciding how I feel about this particular case, because the full body prosthetic is so different from historical/cultural blackface. On the other hand, I think you are ignoring the fact that there is lots of vile racism in Europe and European history also, and there are things…

An example of how to do an amazing Pyke without race facing:

We have a long history of racism over here as well. It’s not a solely American thing and never has been. Blackface isnt cool here either and hasn’t been for a very long time

This really isnt a hard discussion.. It starts and ends right here.

“Livanart herself says in this Facebook video that she spoke with “some black people” while making the suit, heard their concerns then went and did it anyway”

This means she knew it was problematic and did it anyway. Any convo after that is irrelevant.…

Don’t be an imbecile. White people can cosplay as whoever the fuck they want, just don’t alter your skin to do so. Wearing a prosthetic still counts.

The core problem is this: It doesn’t matter how detailed, how much care she took, or anything else: Livanart is still treating race as a costume. Race is not an accessory or costume that can simply be taken off at the end of the day.
