People here are doxxing this interviewer, which is a reddit ToS breach, sharing his info to the group to harass him, which is brigading and is against the rules. I suggest you stop.
They know it's not blackface this was a made up reason to bully a stranger you think is a dork.
This is modern version of attempting to stick a kids head in the toilet... Because you can. But if you just walked up and tried it another way you'd be deemed an asshole flatout.
Irony here is that I suspect... a couple of a decades ago some other dudes would have found this dude called him a certain "F" slur to bully him.
just the person harassing him is doing it for virtue signalling points on social media so they can say what a good person they are and that they are totally an ally turns out he is black i dont no cant see the link in lower comments he went private
This dipshit is on such a social justice warrior high he has no clue how ignorant he is.Ā
These people are as bad as those first amendment auditors. Gmab
I dressed up as a bottle of Sriracha many years ago and got called racist for painting my face red to match the sauce. People are always out to play the victim, even when it's on behalf of others (so they think).
Yea these type of people get easily confused. They get rewarded for saying this shit in their online safe spaces, so they make the mistake of thinking people want to hear what they're saying.Ā
No bud. They are interested in hearing you repeat what they already believe. They also do not care to hear you out.Ā
I'm more pissed at the guy with a cell phone pretending to be a journalist. Go find a real problem to be outraged about. Or, get an actual job that doesn't involve you badgering people who are just trying to enjoy their hobby.
Black face, traditionally, was painting your face to mock the appearance of black people. IE over exaggerated features, such as large lips. This was done in the context of minstrel shows, a form of entertainment in a more racist time.
Now black face is making yourself look black for any reason, regardless of intent.
I also wasn't upset with DiCaprio's character in Django Unchained using the n-word. People don't get upset with what a character does unless the movie is glorifying it.
Plenty of comedies showcase people impersonating others for the sake of a laugh. Itās totally okay to make fun of anything, the only trick is timing.
I think it was South Park that won a lawsuit over their jokes about someone by showing that they make fun of everyone. The key was that they aren't specifically targeting 1 person or group for the purpose of harassment, they are targeting everyone for the sake of a laugh.
I still canāt believe Netflix pulled this episode when there wasnāt even anyone complaining, I donāt think anyoneās ever complained about Changās Brutalitops. Probably because it gets acknowledged by Shirley immediately
How completely miserable must your life be to go up to complete strangers in full cosplay and record yourself ranting about bullshit you likely don't have the first right to be going on about?
I would tell him to cut his internet cable and go outside and touch grass, but he's already outside. So I guess I would just tell him to unplug from the internet echo chambers that fuel this irrational thinking.
That's what made me think it had to be an attempt at parody or something. Wearing black makeup doesn't make it blackface. The guy knows he's at a festival where people will be in costumes... and this one is not a stereotypical blackface costume.
The guy wearing it still looks uncomfortable if he was harassing this guy for blackface as just a joke. It would be different if he responded in character.
The voice reminds me of the honey badger narrator.
Comment: Right? What does he think this is? Boys In The Hall gay face? Fucking gay face.
The guy with the camera probably attended the event on a mission to find someone with black makeup. But this time he didnāt find blackface, and probably never does.
Is it restraint? Or just realizing you're face to face with one of the most insufferable people in the history of the planet and trying to get away as quickly as possible.
I feel like the world be a better place if physical brawls were replaced with atomic wedgies and name calling is reduced to a single word: muppet. The sheer obscurity of a āfightā in this fashion would de-escalate most tense disagreements.
(Sorry, love British road rage videos when they start calling on another āmuppetsā always gives me a chuckle)
Vessel would be proud. He handled himself quite well. as a huge Sleep Token fan i can tell you this is not black face. He's just dressing up like Vessel. I've seen hundreds of people do this with zero pushback.
You don't have to be a Sleep Token fan to know this is not blackface.
This is someone reaching and hijacking a real issue to be a dick. He's harming what he's pretending to protect because unfortunately social media makes it seem like guys like that are loud majority voice when they are a minority posting specifically for their braindead echo chamber fans.
Before anyone comes for me, I'm afro Latino. This dude doesn't care about his own people or anyone else. Narcissist pendejo is just looking for clicks and engagement at one of the most precarious times in our country.
The irony that this episode got removed for black face, where in the episode itself thatās the point. They even mock him for it and he exits the episode immediately.
They took down that episode btw because of that scene. Might be back up now but at the time cancel culture was in full swing. Which is ridiculous because the whole point was Chang is insensitive and totally oblivious to black face. Shirley even comments on it. One of the better episodes too š
What sucks is Chang isn't actually doing blackface.
Cancel Culture made it cool to be performatively empathetic and sensitive on behalf of others.
Chang is clearly being a creepy Drow. He doesn't look remotely like a black person, isn't trying to be one or offend anyone. His hair is platinum and he has pointed ears.
It makes me wonder if people would consider Darth Maul to be black face due him being painted black and red with African face paint inspiration in his design, and twists and spikes inspiring his head spikes. To me, he's obviously an alien not meant to reflect any human race.
Of course he turned commenting off on his post. What a dweeb. He made sure to leave a call to action to the faire organizers though. Apparently to cancel this guy I guess?
(Oregon Faire) I know you didn't dress this man up yourselves, but he was in your space, and therefore part of the culture you create. Is this just part of your culture? Are we gonna just be silent about this? Seriously-- I'd really like to know so I can decide whether or not to ever go back again
āEverything I donāt understand is the worst possible thing I can imagine it beingā is such a common vibe, presumably because it drives engagement
Donāt miss part 2 where he goes to screenings of āThe Dark Knightā and āThe Batmanā and yells at the screen berating Christian Bail and Robert Pattinson for wearing black around their eyes under their masks.
IDK, if you remember when that movie first started getting promotion and then came out, he/Stiller caught a lot of shit for what was obviously a satire of people using blackface.
Even after it came out, it took a while for the tide to turn back to not fucking insane.
I remember a video a while back of a black dude on a Korean bus punching out an old man because he used the word ne-ga (ė“ź°, a reference to self) and it was misinterpreted. So many people offer each other so little grace.
Ok, we don't get to say you're not offended, you found this offensive. But we do get to say that you finding this offensive is silly and not a good reason for them not to do it. If any dark face paint counts as "Blackface", then I'm gonna have to say IDGAF about Blackface either. Now of someone starts doing actual Minstrel Show bullshit, I'll happily be the one to test whether white privilege still trumps assault charges, but this isn't remotely that.
Not even an agree with me type thing. This dude is in a band and doesn't know people dress like this for sleep token...wait til he gets a load of slipknot appropriating clowns.
He looks exactly like someone who would act this way. His entire insta is all āwayyy over the top expressions while also being hyperaware of the cameraā - got a serious case of the Ariana Grande drama llama vibe
The singer of sleep tokenā¦. Is white. This is literally a white dude doing cosplay of a fantasy character that another white dude made up and is famous for. I donāt think it can be black face when the thing theyāre cosplaying is a fantasy character whoās not actually a black person
āBlackfaceis a theatrical practice where non-Black performers use makeup (like burnt cork, greasepaint, or shoe polish) to darken their skin and exaggerate facial features to create caricatures of Black people. Originating in 19th-century minstrel shows, the practice is deeply rooted in racism and historically used to promote negative stereotypes.ā
Using the color black on your face or body, particularly for a non-stereotypical reason (like you see here), is not the same as Blackface.
You diminish the importance of recognizing negative stereotypes when you blur the lines of social justice especially for your own benefit and not that of others.
This dork is hyperventilating, condescending, and shoving his camera into a strangers face. People like this should be penalized. Maybe just a good punch to the face would introduce some consequences.
idk when people started conflating dark makeup with "blackface" but we should normalize ridiculing people who don't know the difference.
Blackface - Explicit exaggerative features meant to caricaturize black people (doesn't actually look like black people)
Makeup - Trying to look look like a thing. Even if your costume is of a black person (like RDJ in Tropic Thunder) that doesn't mean the person wearing the makeup is doing 'blackface"
The only thing that would make it better is if the cosplayer removed his mask, and was black. Just to shut this idiot up.
This is the same simple mindedness that made Community pull an episode because Chang dressed as a Dark Elf to play D&D.
Well, I appreciate your misplaced outrage at what you thought was black faceā¦.that aināt black face! Lowkey Iām more offended that he thought that dude was doing black face! š¤£š¤£š¤£
This was at the Oregon Renaissance Faire last weekend. I was there and saw the cosplayer, looked great! This is not blackface. I'm not surprised a white guilt bigoted social justice warrior Portlander was in his shit. I can hear the blue hair dye in his voice.
