“But if she didn’t paint her skin you would call it whitewashing”
“These characters have no designated race they are fictional”
Stop with the double standards.
I’m so tired of seeing this ignorance.
I’m not even a cosplayer for this reason and I see this shit all the time. Black people get so much shit in the cosplaying community. I see my people get told to “go cosplay your own characters ‘so and so’ isn’t black” and then when we cosplay OBVIOUSLY black or darker skin characters (and have been confirmed black or other minorities) of other races to be more “accurate” and not get hate it’s always “this character isn’t black”. So no black characters exist ever in anime? No MIXED characters ever existed? Yeah okay. Idk if y’all are dense or really just hate black people and can’t fathom someone wanted to draw a black character lmao.
You can absolutely cosplay people of color without being insensitive and making it your own. I have seen so many black creators NOT paint their skin and cosplay characters and use their afros curls or box braids in the characters’ hair color and you still know who they are trying to cosplay. I have seen fair and olive skin people NOT paint their skin and cosplay black characters and NOT have an Afro or locs or braids and I still know who it is.
The OUTFIT is what is the identifiable aspect of any cosplay. You can still keep your physical appearance intact and absolutely cosplay a black character.
If black people are telling you this is wrong or makes us uncomfortable get off your fucking high horse and see it’s wrong. Educate yourself. Self tanning is one thing but painting yourself black is just weird especially in 2026.
Una cosplayer japonesa terminó acusada de blackface por algunos usuarios occidentales tras oscurecerse la piel para interpretar a Jacinthe de “Pokémon Legends: Z-A”, mientras los fans japoneses salieron a defender la fidelidad de su caracterización.
Los críticos en inglés sostuvieron que oscurecerse la piel era ofensivo sin importar la intención. Los japoneses, en cambio, compararon el maquillaje con pintarse de verde para interpretar a Piccolo o de rosa para encarnar a Majin Buu.
Una cosplayer francesa residente en Japón también la respaldó y pidió distinguir entre caracterización y racismo. La artista de Hokkaido se disculpó por el revuelo, pero defendió su decisión: los personajes de Pokémon no tienen una raza definida y para ella el tono de piel es otro elemento del diseño.
black cosplayers are mauled for simply being black and existing in their fandoms while non-black cosplayers can go out of their way to do stuff like this and people will have the audacity to say they’re doing it out of appreciation and there’s no “ill intentions”

The fact that generative Al has created a fundamental doubt in reality. We now pause to check if an artwork, video, or design is even human-made before we can fully appreciate it.
It has damaged the instinctive joy of it. It's sickeningly tragic.
