And what the hell is even wrong with darkening your skin? People do it all the time when they get tans, and nobody complains. Or do they want that people go and risk skin cancer instead of just applying body paint?
They keep saying that it's blackface except that blackface is meant to be an exaggerative mockery of African physiognomy. It doesn't make sense to point at someone just painting their skin brown and say that they're doing blackface.
Strangest part is that Pridemore is applying body paint because she's cosplaying an anime character that has that skin complexion. Said anime character probably not being of African descent, at that.
