here. i think this is meant to be damara from homestuck who is a racist character http://zamii070.tumblr.com/post/126488055437/shitty-makeup-i-need-to-get-a-better-kind-but several people have pointed out that zamii, who is not asian, has no right to cosplay damara and is, in fact, yellowfacing -mulder EDIT: It has come to our attention that zamii is mixed Latina and Filipina. However, it is still racist of her to cosplay Damara because she is not Japanese, and Damara is a huge Japanese stereotype that only Japanese people should be able to cosplay. Apologies for saying she wasn’t Asian, we’ve only seen her talk about being Latina until after this post was made. -Mulder

I haven’t read Homestuck in ages but the trolls are trolls. They’re not half troll and half -Insert race here-. They’re just a troll. That’s it. Damara herself is a Japanese stereotype yes, but SHE’S NOT EVEN ASIAN. YOU CAN MAKE A CHARACTER BE A STEREOTYPE OF SOMETHING AND THEY DON’T HAVE TO BE THAT RACE IF THEY’RE A FICTIONAL RACE. God damn. EVEN THE WIKI STATES SHE’S A TROLL. THERE’S NOTHING ANYWHERE THAT SAYS SHE’S EVEN JAPANESE OR ASIAN.

Zamii is problematic and i don’t like her, but she should have the right to cosplay anyone she likes or sees. If you take this blog’s words for granted, then I guess I can’t cosplay Super Sonico or ANY ANIME CHARACTER, because I’m black and I’m not “Japanese” or “Asian” and I’m half Jamaican and half American and i can only cosplay black characters. Hell, I probably shouldn’t cosplay Disney princesses who are white except for Tiana from Princess and the Frog.

This receipts blog has minors running it, last i checked(?), but goddamn, they are fucking stupid when it comes to talking about cosplaying and shit. I wouldn’t be surprised if they cosplayed a character outside their damn race while preaching that people should cosplay as their race only.

They ain’t the cosplay police.
