Leatherface's Blackface Should Not Be In The Game

Attributing voting rights to a black cosmetic you find offensive for no reason other than 'it's black, he's white, racism confirmed.' The only progress that would come from this would be backwards.

The more this goes, the more I'm thinking this too.

Some white knight hipster in his parents upper middle class house crusading for those poor oppressed people he claims to stand for. Completely oblivious to how racist his little "white savior" act is making him look.

I've read your previous responses... You are literally making a claim that Leatherface wearing a black girl's face is racist because of visuals ALONE. You are completely ignoring the rest of my and many others' posts about CONTEXT.

Let me ask you this, if an Asian, Indian, or Hispanic killer was wearing a black girl's face, would that be racist to you?

How about this, since you're using history as justification.

If a black killer was wearing a White, Asian, or Indian face, do you believe the Whites, Asians, and Indians have the same amount of justification to rant like you're doing?

Ok

I very often see accounts with the post count in the single digit, just to complain about something.

Yes, i missed the discussion you posted.

Still, that's only 2, over 3 years.

Still very little.

And yes, it matters cause this is different than a country allowing gay people to marry.

This is a business wanting loads of players and cash to keep it running, grow big, feed families etc.

If, like you say, black are in a (vast) minority here, and they were to remove a face for ethnicity reasons, there's gonna be so many complaints to the devs for simply taking away one of their cosmetics for such a reason.

And then there will most likely be a new fear of more cosmetics being taken away, including ones that are paid for instead of earned.

Even if they'd get a return of Auric Cells, they would still be forced to give up a cosmetic they like without getting their (actual) money back.

Removing it for the very few who are upset by it seems very impractical from a business standpoint.

Can’t hook Claud/Adam either cause that counts as lynching.

So your entire claim on "Blackface" Leatherface being racist is dependent on you and "many" others being triggered. Ok so, why exactly does "Blackface" Leatherface trigger you so much?

And before you say "It's because of historical reasons!". You can't say that. Why? Because you denied and ignored many other posts giving you context of why Leatherface is wearing the face, but all you said was "it's a Blackface, it's racist!". So why should I listen to you ramble about racist context?

So tell me, without using historical context/accounts, why do you think Leatherface wearing Claudette's face is racist?

Is it just visuals? Do you just dislike a white person being in a power role over a black person? What is it?

Actually,what YOU cannot understand is that it is not in any way blackface.There was a definition for blackface posted above,but how convenient that you missed it.

You do not want a discussion. You want an echo chamber. Several very legitimate and very true points have been made, people have tried to be polite, and yes some people are a little angry, but its unrealistic to expect civility when most don't like it when someone casually infers they and their family are racist apropos of nothing resembling evidence. Instead of engaging in this 'discussion' you so desperately want, you ignore valid points that don't line up with your view and back handedly insult people.

A discussion, a REAL discussion, requires that parties genuinely make an attempt to see something from both sides long enough to compare them in order to make an informed decision. You have no desire to do this, instead you dismiss, ignore, insult and throw away very valid points as 'strawman'.

I'm not going to engage you in a discussion, you do not want one, you want people to agree with you. Or you are indeed, as suspected by many, a troll. It's rare, but on this one occasion I hope that its the latter, because it is hard to believe someone is being so intentionally insensitive while they preach sensitivity on a trivial matter.

After 38 years on this planet, I don't need a random stranger on the internet to decide if I'm racist or not. I am fully aware of who and what I am and no argument you can throw at me, will ever convince me I'm a racist simply because I don't agree with you.

At this point I'd rather just report the thread for being inflammatory and insulting, then move on. Good luck on your quest.

So its okay if he wears the white people's faces though? But not claudette's? Why is she special? Because she's black? Please. Slavery in the U.S. Ended 155 years ago. Get over it. I wore her face proudly until i got the prestige face. She's usually the hardest survivor to find because of all the brown and dark clothes people put on her. Blendette's face was a well earned trophy. If it bothers you that much then you just might be a super sensitive snowflake and should quit playing.

um whoosh much?

Ok but what if a black man wants to play leather face? Black face does not apply when we are all already roleplaying. I know my leather face Claudette face is worn proud when I catch one of the neon green pain in the butt survivors and has not to do with racism.

You've been answered numerous times as to why your thinking is faulty, yet you remain stubbornly opposed to it. That's fine, a change of view can't be forced. If you're unwilling to see it from another side, that's on you. I'm still unsure why you're continuing this thread, other than to stir the pot, seeing as the majority of responses are against your train of thought. Unless you have nothing better to do. In which case, I say you jump in game and wear your 'racist' cosmetic, then ask if you're racist for doing so in the post game chat.
