Whitewashing and brownface in one whole post? What the fucking— Damn.
This is Sheila from Aicosu, a cosplaying couple with massive online presence and a pretty hefty following, in her Korra costume. Sylar, the other half, is dressed as Tahno.
This is what Sheila usually looks like:

She describes the brownface picture as “messing around with makeup tests” for her Korra costume.
What’s startling about the brownface picture is that she didn’t even get the skintone right for Korra. As my friend pointed out, “she looks more like someone from Jersey Shore”.
If you’re unfamiliar, which I’m sure you’re not, this is Korra:

TayTay: I AM A HUGE TAHORRA FAN AND I’VE SEEN THIS COUPLE FLOATING AROUND AND I’VE BEEN SIDE-EYING THE HELL OUT OF IT. FUCK HER AND FUCK WHOEVER SUPPORTS THIS SICK IGNORANT SHIT.
fuck this racist brown face cunt
Why are you people so stupid? So a white girl can’t cosplay a dark skinned character? That’s like saying a black girl can’t cosplay a white character. It’s stupid, everyone should be able to cosplay who they want regardless of race. And if we’re going to get really technical, then everyone who isn’t Asian can’t cosplay anime characters unless the character is stated as a different race. Really people should be happy that she is putting this much effort into making herself look like Korra, people would be be bashing her if she went with her natural skin tone for being too white. And if you’re going to complain that skin color isn’t an accessory for cosplay then what are you going to tell the Homestuck cosplayers who have to get gray skin paint? Should they stay their own skin colors? or would that be skin washing? Seriously people, grow up it’s not that big a deal.
