Know what happens sometimes when you speak up against actual bullshit in the cosplay community that nobody wants to talk about in hopes that the issue will resolve itself without any real effort on anyones part? You get swarmed and trolled by racists while being called a bully (by people attempting to bully you) all for saying that blackface (and any other race-facing) is ugly, insensitive and unnecessary.

For half a week now, this has been my reality. Luckily, I have relatively thick skin, so the harassment is more annoying for me than anything else. Howd it all start?

I saw a post in which a girl was cosplaying Candela (team Valors Pokemon Go gym leader).
