Leatherface's Blackface Should Not Be In The Game

I don't think they want to remove a reward that thousands of people have unlocked because some people are upset from theorizing what the Killer's intentions are for wearing that face on their Cannibal.

I wore the Claudette face a lot when i was busy unlocking all Cannibal faces. (Hers was easy to unlock, everyone was Claudette at the time.)

I did that cause it's distinct, i wanted to feel like i had earned a reward.

While there's obviously some differences between the faces, Dwight's & Meg's faces are extremely similar, and also similar to the default face.

Jake's was the other one who could be pretty easily distinguished, but Jake was, and probably still is, the rarest of the 4 to encounter, so i got it last.

Point of that paragraph is: You don't know their intent for wearing it.

And if you're gonna assume your theory every time this version of Cannibal comes up, that's not fair towards them.

Also, what about the Jake face?

He's Asian, don't you want that face removed?

But it's ok for him to wear white people's faces, huh?

That's a bold stance. Couldn't be misinterpreted at all.

Does it offend you that the Doctor is one of the few truly evil killers and he's black?

Segregation, noun, the action or state of setting someone or something apart from other people or things or being set apart. So yes it is you moron. Considering you only have a issue that the white killer has one black girls face as a mask but it's ok if he has two white people's faces and Jake who is Asian face but no it only matters that cause she Is black so she shouldn't be added just makes you racist. But whatever you say buddy. Just educate yourself.

so what your saying is LF should care about feels

what if a black person wants to play leatherface and have his own race included not everything is meant as hurtfull

if u took out claudette face then players would feel upset their race is not excluded from the character

Uhm you realize that you are the one that is unknowingly racist here right now?

claiming only white people would have cried is pretty damn racist and even so I am not black myself I bet there would be more black people calling this racist than what you are claiming is racist here.

if it was one user playing as Leatherface using this mask AND be otherwise racist you can report that individual person in-game for that. As many people stated, the mask itself does not have anything to do with blackface or being racist.

I don't see "Blackface Bubba" often, but when I do it's usually worn by people who intend on being incendiary. However, that's just the consequence of having a character in the game that literally wears faces. The good news is, if those people cross a line, you can just report them and move on.

That being said, as a black woman, the Claudette face itself never bothered me; leaving Claudette out of Bubba's collection would be weirder, seeing as how she's one of the first survivors. I understand how her likeness being on a white killer could make someone uncomfortable but--again--its just the consequence of having a character with Leatherface's lore.

Its a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. Do you exclude Claudette because of the color of her skin or risk evoking blackface vibes? The developers obviously went with the latter, which was probably the best decision they could've made. Leatherface doesn't discriminate; anyone's face is fair game. What people do with it is up to them, but the report button is there for you to use.

Sensitive much? lol seriously how do people get offended by this stuff is beyond me..but welcome to 2020

Leatherface is simply displaying a trophy of his kill. It doesn't matter if the trophy was orange, black, white, pink, purple, or any other color on the spectrum of colors. That is not blackface. If a player used his trophy feature to act out blackface then that can be reported.

Man, I miss the times where not everyone got offended about everything.

OP rn, cuzzo really think devs are racist just because they gave leatherface a face from the original survivors. Mind you didn't mention how the Asian or White Community might feel about the faces leatherface skins off them as well. Joke post 2020 and people still tryna play their race cards.

It doesn't. You see a racist issue where none exists.

Listen, OP. I understand why you are offended by the "Blackface" Leatherface, but you need to understand context.

What you are claiming here is that because Leatherface is wearing a black person's face, it's racist because of historical accounts and racist connotations.

However, you cannot claim that Leatherface wearing Claudette's face is Blackface and henceforth racist. Why? Because you are not looking at the "Why" and the reason why he wears it. You cannot simply look at the visual aspects of something and immediately cry racism

If I showed you a scene in Bioshock Infinite involving racism towards blacks and other minorities, you would just undoubtedly say "Remove this scene, this contains racist undertones and shows racial discrimination towards blacks because history,etc,etc."

But if you played or watched the rest of the game, you would realize there's more to it then that. There is a deeper story with amazing twists and turns, but you can realize this ONLY if you watched or played through the game.

The same can be said here. You are ONLY looking at this Blackface from the visual perspective and failing to grasp the concept of WHY Leatherface is wearing it.

He wears people's victims after murdering them, also eating their bodies. He's a psychopath.

You need to understand context.

Hey,let me just say Rivyn,you can’t argue with stupid.

Okay, that's twice you've made the claim about the playerbase being mostly white. Now, let me ask you this.

WHERE is your proof of this? You would LIKE to ASSUME that there's a small number of blacks playing? Assumptions like this have no basis in reality. For all you know, the majority playing could, in fact, be Black. Or Asian. Or Native American. Maybe Whites are the minority. YOU HAVE NO PROOF TO SAY OTHERWISE!

I was chill when I made my statement. Now, you are just choosing to ignore the facts that everyone is repeating because they don't conform to your reasoning. If the mods don't shut this down in a few hours, I'll be surprised, because all you've done this entire thread is attack those who disagree with you while they are trying to explain their view of it.

How dare you provide OP with a definition!This must mean that he’s wrong,although of course he’d never care to admit it-even in the face of concrete facts.
