I feel so gaslit when I see how common Blackface was even like ten, twenty years ago. Like I was alive then, and I'm pretty sure even my conservative parents told me blackface was insanely offensive.
I think it's somewhat justifiable when it's meant to somehow make fun of racism or point out how insane a character is, but it's fucking wild when in the 21st century you put someone in blackface to parody a black person.
Yeah I don't mean so much having a fictional character do blackface where it's portrayed as offesnvie and racist in the fiction so much as just... doing blackface.
