Cosplay has shifted so far off till I can't brain the people in the community anymore. What does racism got to do with accuracy?
Why Can't we all just have fun like we used to do 10 years ago without the hatred, judgements and racism. It's just a hobby, so chill and get a life :-/
Some people mentioned me about my SOMBRA COSPLAY is rude and offensive because of skin color make up.
At first, i'm Korean cosplayer and i never heard of that before - BROWN FACE make up is OFFENSIVE thing. When i heard about that is after uploading Sombra cosplay Photos.
I've been cosplaying which have dark skin than me once before. Female dark elf from the Dungeon and fighter. but that time my coworker said 'don't makeup your skin and body more dark. Because people might be think 'UNPRETTY'. I still don't agree with that. but that time i don't have a body painting skill so i just cosplaying dark elf as my neutral skin tone. that's 3 years ago.
And now i have a better makeup skill than that time- so yes, i cosplayed Sombra with skin color make up. Because i love that character's every thing, and Sombra's everything is awesome. I don't agree with 'DARK SKIN IS UNPRETTY' so i make up skin tone darker than me.
I keep saying 'skin tone darker than me' because i hate define peoples skin tone by color name. And i still don't understand WHY YOU GUYS DEFINED PEOPLES SKIN TONE AS A COLOR NAME? Some haters said to me 'brown facing is racist thing', but defined peoples skin tone looks racist to me.
I understand. If someone don't have a intention to offensive, for the other someone feels offensive. At Korea, here are famous E-sports commentator - well known as 'Koreamerican', he loves Korean food and Korean culture. A lot of people love him and i love him too, but some people said 'yeah, you are a American who has a money and live korea, so you can said 'i love you Korea' but we don't think so'. I think that Koreamerican don't have a intention to offensive but someone said 'that sounds sarcastic'.
Yes, all people can't have a same opinion. People has deferent experience and growing deferent. There's someone who discriminated by skin tone. They might be has a trauma even afraid going to school. And they can hate my cosplay make up. Because i can wash my dark skin tone make up, but they live with their skin tone forever. And i know they are better and awesome person than people who hate their skin. Yes they can hate me. And i'm really sorry about them.
Someone cosplaying disabled character even they are not actually disabled- disabled people can hate them.
Someone cosplaying no-hair character even they have a hair - the people who has a cancer and have no hair can hate them.
I love Sombra's every thing and not make a joke and make fun of her skin tone, just want express her awesome. But some people accept as offensive.
If it is not intention to offensive, but some people who has a trauma feels offensive- i have to apologize. I'm so so sorry for that people who has a trauma.
BUT SOME PEOPLE JUST USING A BAD WORD AND KEEP ATTACKING- WHO HAS NOT DARK SKIN AND DON'T HAS TRAUMA BECAUSE OF THAT.
You guys are spokesperson who represent people who has dark skin? I think you guys looks just wanna fight and want to get my apologize as a trophy. Are you seriously not a racist defined people's skin tone as a name? Are you guys really hate racist and against them?
For Sombra cosplay, i shaved my hair and donate my hair for people who has a cancer. And i monthly donate money for kids including you guys defined skin color as a name. I'm not have pity to them. I help them because they will be better and that kids are future of their country(yes. I like Angelina jolie said help kids because they are the future of their country).
And i just want to ask-
SO WHILE I DONATE MY HAIR AND DONATE MY MONEY TO PEOPLE WHO YOU GUYS DEFINED SKIN TONE AS A COLOR NAME- WHAT ARE YOU GUYS ACTUALLY DOING BETTER THINGS THAN ME FOR HELP PEOPLE EXCEPT SITTING ON CHAIR AND SHOUTING ON MY FACEBOOK?
YOU CAN HATE ME. BUT THAT MEANS NOT I'M A BAD PERSON.
YOU STILL THINK I'M RACIST - BLOCKED ME.
(Sorry for my poor English skill, hard to studying my self ;;)

One of people who has skin tone darker than me send me a messages and we have a long conversation. she want to know my opinion and want to notice me if i missed something. She didn't know at first time i'm a korean who didn't know about skin color make up thing. And after she know that - SHE WANT TO KNOW EACH OTHER.
And she said to me her sad experiences and issues near her around. Also there was not a second of harmful words to angry with me. Her explain make me feels sad and i think my photos can remind her sad memory and that make me more sad.
(we both crying with conversation)
She is beautiful person who has beautiful mind. I don't want to make her remember her sad things.
So I'LL DO NOT CHANGE MY SKIN TONE MAKE MORE DARK NEVER AGAIN.
Because i don't hurts kind people like her to reminds their sad memory.
like her messages - THAT'S THE RIGHT WAY to move someone's heart and make compromise with someone.
you don't have to insulting using a 'bad words'
like you keep saying
"you don't have to change your skin tone"
