I’m not a bro. I’m a woman, and I know how makeup works. You don’t try to make yourself lighter, you try to even out your complexion. Also, hello, have you never heard of tanning salons? You know, the place where people of all different races go to become more tan? Makeup and tans have less to do with trying to make…

Or a Mortal Kombat fan.

Source? Because as I understand it, the first whiteface clowns were the Pierrot clowns, Italian performers in France, which in itself is based on a character in Don Juan, who I can’t find any indication is supposed to be an Irish slur.

Yeah, I am telling you that. Unless your skin is ALREADY a very light skintone, putting enough makeup on your face to look like a white person isn’t going to help, unless you’re also putting makeup on your neck and shoulders and hands. Do you know people that do that? Because I sure don’t.

Also, begging for your child…

That isn’t how makeup works. You don’t put on lighter shades of makeup on your face because it makes you look like a clown. You put on shades that MATCH your skintone to get rid of blotchy patches or acne scars or dark shadows under your eyes, etc. The idea is evening out skintones and highlighting facial features.

Make…

Yeah, but I’d just rather err on the side of “everyone just stop” instead of spending the whole time arguing why one way is fine and the other isn’t.

Yes, it is inappropriate to do blackface/whiteface/yellowface/etc. And no, clown makeup isn’t whiteface, because all (traditional) clowns wear white greasepaint, regardless of the color of skin underneath.

I’m hoping the English version of the name is Magianna. Should help a bit.

Article actually uses the word “woman.”

The same reason guys cosplay? Because it’s fun?

But the Layton games are only about 20 hrs, where everyone is saying the Witness is 70-80 hours. And Layton games don’t have a fully-rendered 3D world, with puzzles that build on one another.

It’s the price of a 3DS game. I’ve paid that much for each of the Professor Layton games, which have all been puzzle games. I don’t see why the Witness should be any different.

This sounds more and more like a human stuck in a Pokemon body, not unlike Bill in Red/Blue.

Ah, that’s too bad then.

Could they have been able to add an option to adjust the colors? Like, be able to change all instances of a specific shade of red to something like bright yellow?

Not even the same thing. “Puzzle game” doesn’t automatically exclude color-blind people the way that “orchestra” excludes the hearing-impaired. It’s fair enough to at least warn people, jeesh.

That’s pretty rude, and not even close to the same sort of thing. It’s not like this game is called “400 Red-and-Green color puzzles!” so I think it’s fair to at least warn people they might not be able to 100% this game.

Sure, but you only get one of each. It’s not like you can really shop around, unless you move. I know it’s kind of a worn-out cliche by now, but if you don’t like the way Steam curates it offerings, you can shop elsewhere. It’s not like they have the monopoly on PC games. So just because Steam doesn’t want to sell X…

That’s a female Pikachu. #StrongFemaleCharacters
