A few years ago a chain of shops near me got called racist for having a pack of chocolate ducks for the story ugly ducklings and the milk chocolate duck was called the ugly one.
Just like the story, the black duck is called the ugly duckling, so people kicked off about a chocolate duck based on a fairy tale.
Some people don't think they have had a cheerful day unless they have labelled something racist, it's like their cereal and milk.

Let's think for a second. How often do grownups cosplay sheep? Now what percentage of people cosplay sheep while painting their face black? Now you want me to believe these people skipped a more traditional sheep cosplay for one with a black painted face & chose to do so with no thought or relation to blackface.I find that hard to believe. What's more believable is that the whole cosplay was planned around a single joke. The joke being that they'll do blackface with the plausible deniability of a normal Halloween costume. Now whether you think the joke itself is unacceptable or not is irrelevant to the fact that racism is clearly the joke. It doesn't make sense to deny that.https://www.tiktok.com/@theheobistro?_t=ZT-8vEjJPzRkQI&_r=1
Here is the original. It's from a Vietnamese bar. I don't speak Vietnamese nor know the current culture someone that speaks Vietnamese hmu and lmk the context. If I was wrong I'll amend everything I said and own it.

They probably don't care because people who get offended by silly stuff like this need to get a life.
Most people see it for what it is. A Shaun the sheep costume and a bunch of lads having fun.
That's the point.

u/LordZarbon 3d ago edited 2d ago
So you're honestly telling me you don't think that the cosplay appearing like blackface was part of the joke at all? If so, it'd seem like you're purposefully trying to be obtuse about this to prove or point to some other broad societal point. I truly dont understand the pushback on this, considering I'm not even making a moral judgment, just that it's obviously a part of the joke.I was probably wrong. Found the original video which is from Vietnam. Waiting for a translation.

u/Terrestrial_Conquest 2d ago
The only one seeing it as part of the joke here is you. Then you made up an imaginary scenario where they knew about that and purposely intended to disguise their "blackface" as sheep costumes. And somehow that's supposed to be the conclusion we all come to? Other than seeing it as it is?
The only thing we know is that there are people in sheep outfits, with black face paint on, that apparently isn't going to come off very easily. Assuming anything other than that is stretching the imagination and assuming negative intent.

You're right. I see now that I made some pretty big assumption here. Most of which stemming from ethnocentrism. I'll own that mistake and keep that in mind for next time.

If you’re not pretending to be a black person, it’s definitionally not black face.

u/LordZarbon 3d ago edited 2d ago
You're choosing to view this as racist despite the fact that there is no mention of race whatsoever. Bad reasoning here. Something doesn't have to mention race for it to deal with race. That's a ridiculous thing to assert and I'm sure you don't even agree with this. My point is that the joke is blackface here. The camera to the arm showing the paint not being able to come off easy then panning to it being on their face is clearly for shock value... What is invoking the shock? White people with black paint covering their face... Which also looks like blackface which is socially a no no. It's not a hard sequence to follow.Check og comment.

u/tiggertom66 3d ago
I’ve seen this exact kind of video done with all sorts of colors. First one I saw was a guy with blue paint to look like papa Smurf, or another guy painted orange to look like an oompaloompa.
You might read this as a blackface reference because it’s culturally and historically significant in the US, but it doesn’t have nearly the same significance outside the US.
And you could argue that the popularity of the video is because it makes people think of blackface. But there is no indication that these guys were “looking for an excuse excuse to wear blackface”
If you’re not pretending to be a black person it’s not black face.

Maybe, but for the vast majority, the first thing you think of when thinking "sheep" is white wool, black skin. If I drew an imugi, which is a legless Asian dragon which greatly resembles a serpent, and you had no context such as size or anything, are you now likely to think "Asian dragon", or "snake"?

Okay. so you think the majority of people think of sheep as black faced, with no evidence of this.

And then you think you're smugly taking me to school to reread your comment that the "vast majority" (based on no evidence) still think they're black faced.

To all the people saying that "they're sheep". Sheep don't have giant lips that are pink. Sheep with black faces don't have white around their eyes (I realize someone is going to go find a pic of one of the few genetic anomalies to try to prove me wrong, but that's just what they are, anomalies). But you know did? Blackface minstrels, mammy dolls, watermelon figurines, and other racist figures.
Ask yourself this, what would be funny about a bunch of grownup dudes dressed as sheep, if you're asserting this is harmless? There's nothing funny about that. The whole obvious point is that they're doing blackface, and they used their small pea brains to try to excuse the behavior by pretending to just be sheep.
Also, notice that the "wool" on their heads is twisted, yet the wool on their body is just cotton balls.

u/OnionRangerDuck 2d ago edited 2d ago
Funny with all that analysis on why they're racist, all the paragraphs going on tantrum picking off details trying to prove they're racist, you conveniently ignored that by doing the white outline on the eye thingy, they inevitably showed that their eyes are small.
Small eye is not worth mentioning, because that's what they should look like? With the amount of thinking you're doing I don't think that's something you just forgot about.
