Twitch Punishes White Apex Legends Cosplayer Who Painted Her Face Black
http://tinyurl.com/yxg43erh

Twitch has temporarily banned a Lithuanian streamer after she cosplayed the
Apex Legends character Lifeline using blackface makeup.

On Saturday, Karina “Karupups” Martsinkevich was streaming herself
preparing her Lifeline cosplay in Twitch’s “Just Chatting” section to
roughly 160 viewers. Martsinkevich, who had dyed her hair and put on a white
shirt and surgical mask, then applied a dark foundation to her face to mimic
Lifeline’s appearance. “On my stream, I wanted to show the viewers, how
hard is to prepare for a cosplay, how much time the make up, costume and
another details can take,” Martsinkevich said in an email to Kotaku.

The final result of Martsinkevich’s cosplay is what’s commonly recognized
as blackface—when a non-black person attempts to caricature or present as a
black person. It originated in the 1800s when white actors used shoe polish
or burnt cork, sometimes on top of highlighting their lips or other features,
to perform exaggerated and racist stereotypes of black people. Martsinkevich’s stream was taken down before she could finish her cosplay preparation in
what constitutes a direct denouncement of blackface on Twitch.

After announcing her apparently 30-day suspension, Martsinkevich posted a
YouTube video in which she explained that she was banned for “engaging in
hateful conduct against a person or group of people.” She went on to contend
that she “just wanted to be similar to Lifeline from Apex...it wasn’t meant
to have [sic] a joke of anyone. It was just a cosplay, guys, for my favorite
legend from a computer game.” The Twitch streamer says that she didn’t mean
for her cosplay “to be painful for anyone” and apologized to those who were
hurt.

Twitch did not respond to a request for comment.

In the cosplay community, blackface is extremely controversial and widely
looked down on. White cosplayers of brown or black characters like Overwatch’s Sombra and Michonne from The Walking Dead have been lambasted for the
practice. While aesthetic fidelity can be a primary concern for cosplayers,
altering racial appearance easily devolves into stereotyping and recalls the
history of the practice. On top of that, black cosplayers have faced numerous
barriers getting into the cosplay scene because, traditionally, there are
comparatively few characters in video games, comics and anime who appear
black or dark-skinned. According to several black cosplayers interviewed by
Kotaku in 2016, they sometimes receive pushback and criticism for dressing up
as characters who are not black.

After her ban, Martsinkevich again posted the picture of herself in the
cosplay on the Russian social media app VK. She added the caption, “Thank
you for the enormous support. Thank you for not leaving me alone in such a
situation. So, guys and girls, what do you think about Cosplay?”

因為想向自己的觀眾展示Cosplay的難度，而選擇了 Apex 的生命線進行cos。

然後就犯禁而被封了。因為她為了扮黑人把自己塗黑。

問題在黑臉在美國被視為是一種嘲笑黑人的妝扮，因為以前有種搞笑劇就是白人塗黑臉扮黑人來搞笑。
