If Livanart’s costume is blackface, how is this costume not cultural erasure?

I interpreted her statement as “I spoke to some people who are of the race represented by the character and heard their concerns. I addressed those concerns and moved forward with intent.”

Well well well, look whose whitewashing now you filthy racist. See how easy this is? And that looks like shit and incredibly inaccurate.

Speaking as a Chinese I simply don’t care when people gets costumed as a Chinese fictional character nor do I care when black people cosplay as anime characters that are supposed to be Asian. It only annoys me when people get costumed with the solely purpose of having the appearance of an Asian.

Dude, you have no idea how little a lot of other cultures don’t care. As long as you aren’t doing Mickey Rooney in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” they don’t care. Christ’s sake, Ryu isn’t even drawn as Japanese in the games, Ryu is a brown-haired, blue-eyed white guy with a Japanese name and background. 

This is going too far. She perfectly recreated the character. She’s not saying that his skin color is a costume, she is treating the whole character as one. What was she supposed to do, make the character white? Then wouldn’t there be people shitting on her for black erasure? Should males complain because she is…

She’s treating it as a costume, to look like a fictional character she likes as accurate as possible, not to mock people of a race or do a goddamn minstrel show, this is all so incredibly dumb...

Dudes have dozens of rifles preserved and buried on property that is not titled in their names. Ya ain’t getting those. If there is ever a war between people who think guns are immoral and people who thing guns are necessary, who gonna win?

Imo this is a pretty simplistic reduction of people who live in rural communities to stereotypes of gun owners. Are some of those stereotypes there for a reason? Sure. But just anecdotally, as someone who also grew up in a rural area, the people who own guns for actual practical purposes (predator/ pest control,…

But that doesn’t mean gun laws are a lost cause—a rural community wracked with gun suicides isn’t going to reflexively turn down a sensible plan to reduce that pain if it’s presented in the right way, with clear data and local support backing it up.

kinda like people?  

Teigin responded f... All you need to know she and her husband suffer from TDS. Angry hating nasty foul mouth “lady” should watch “my fair lady” as should many of today’s female population.          Ingram couldn't care less what some undisplined spoiled brat has to say

And by grays, you mean the Republican party and Congress in general, right?

Then why don’t they say so? Or is it, Trump walked right up to the line of obstruction, but he didn’t cross it. So, we can’t say it’s nothing, but we can’t say it’s obstruction either? Is it just a reasonable doubt kind of thing? What a mess.

She’s already made her choice.

Which is why they charged him with obstruction of justice.

The world is not ready for the sheer volume of amateur lawyering we’re about to see.

(but also surprisingly apt, as the Chicken Soup books she’s referencing are basically Buttigieg as a candidate: lukewarm, vaguely Christian slog that makes people feel warm and fuzzy inside).

Democratic debates are gonna be straight out of a Marx Brothers movie

I have a serious problem with your Japanese-rope-bondage shaming.
