Well, imagine how non-white people feel knowing that if they cosplay a white character, there's definitely going to be some racist jackhole getting butthurt about it.

so...two wrongs make a right sort of deal? Or "One group has to deal with bad shit, SO YOUR GROUP WILL HAVE TO AS WELL! Mwahahaah."

Neither. More of a "you can use your personal experience here to develop some empathy for others, and also understand why others might not be too sympathetic to your plight."

Now you just need to imagine a pony saying it to make poor secret #2's writer happy as well.

use it to understand others are jerks who put you in a pointless plight to begin with.

If I wanted to cosplay Sokka that does not increase racism anywhere in the world.

I do believe this is the best comment in this thread.

This is exactly what I came here to say. You, OP can get away from the SJW complaints. POC fans can't escape the racist assholes, costume or not.

(Anonymous) 2013-08-12 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Does that make it okay?

If I am less likely to be the victim of a certain type of crime, does that mean that there's nothing wrong with that crime being visited upon me?

(Anonymous) 2013-08-12 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
what point exactly are you trying to make here?

there's a difference between enjoying cosplaying white characters, and actively being happy that there is little PoC representation in the media.

No, it doesn't make it okay. Being an asshole is being an asshole.

But in this case, actively, happily supporting limited PIC representation is a bigger dick move than some SJW saying "You're white so you can't be Misty Knight."

(Anonymous) 2013-08-11 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
...and therefore OP is forbidden to be relieved that her chances of getting treated like shit are low! She never said that she thought it was cool if people were racist to non-white folks yo.
