Ave, true to Caesar.
No, because I am black.

And also no, because it's not a thing. That is stupid. Some people should stop being so stupid and looking for shit to have a problem with. Concern yourself with actual real world problems that are effecting everyone.

And I'm not even talking about "there are worse things in the world" type stuff. I mean this isn't a problem in any way at all. Reaction images are great because they perfectly convey your reaction without using words or posting your own face, regardless of race, gender, nationality, or any other thing we use to divide ourselves into groups.

Don't make a mountain out of a picture of a plate of cheese.

Cultural appropriation isn't really a thing, either
Oh, come on.

These same assholes would vilify white gamers for *not* creating minority characters. This is just somebody stirring the pot. Another tragic example of a mainstream news source gaining attention by spewing tabloid trash.
in games with a create a character option I usually go for a black or hispanic character
no idea why, I feel like it's easier to make a normal looking character in them as opposed to the white characters

fallout 3 being a game where I almost always went white, cause liam neeson sounds weird as a black or asian guy

If you're not looking for any honest discussion, agreement, meeting halfway or middle ground, don't bother arguing with me. Selfish narcissists need not apply.
The Far Left and the Far Right need to burn in hell
I'm pretty liberal and "digital blackface" is fucking absurd.

It's essentially quoting black people that said or did something you like or found entertaining. It is in zero ways demeaning. "White people performing exaggerated blackness"?! Bitch, they're video clips of actual black people. No one is performing, no one is exaggerating. It's a fucking video clip of a funny thing usually being done in an intentionally funny way by a funny person.

What's also funny is she says black people are not there for your entertainment. Which I agree, they're not as a race, but most of these gifs she used as examples come from, you know, actual entertainers .

I don't always do an evil playthrough, but when I do, I make my character black

My God, man! You're in the PNW too!
Do people actually go out of their way to use darker skinned hand emojis?
I guess in concept that could possibly exist

But her examples are so bad and ignore the white reaction gif's

Shit, hell Naw dawg, that's whack.
Top comment summed it up perfectly I think:
