darrenchris replied to your post: Despite looking around for answers, I haven’t been able to find a conclusive one, so I’m asking it here and hope you don’t mind/will reply privately/etc. Would physically tanning for a costume be considered a form of blackface? It’s completely a hypothetical, I’m just curious now. Sorry to bother you, and I hope you’re having a great day. :)
I have read the FAQ, multiple times, which is why I was hoping to find a more conclusive answer. Regardless, thank you for your time. :)
BRHood: Oh really? You read it? Funny, because we say:
THOUGH EACH MOD HAS A DIFFERENT OPINION ON CERTAIN ASPECTS OF IT, WE ALL AGREE THAT REGARDLESS OF RACE/ETHNICITY, IT IS WRONG TO DARKEN ONE’S SKIN IN ANY WAY FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF COSPLAYING.
DARKEN ONE’S SKIN IN ANY WAY FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF COSPLAYING.
IN ANY WAY FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF COSPLAYING.
IN ANY WAY
IN ANY WAY
IN ANY WAY
IN ANY WAY
IN ANY WAY
So either you’re a liar and didn’t read, or for some reason, you can’t read. Because we DID answer that in our FAQ.
