I'm glad when people respond. I posted this question because I enjoy discussion and want to hear how others think. It's a bit surprising that some people assume I'm just talking into the void, or that I'm somehow oblivious to the fact that I could be criticized.
People need to understand they are posting on the global internet and if they do this shit people will have something to say

One of the things I'm questioning is whether cosplay done out of genuine admiration, with absolutely no malicious intent or exaggeration, really hurts Black people.

Isn't the problem with blackface that it mocks Black people? She's cosplaying this character because she loves the character and thinks the character's dark skin is beautiful. Would many Black people still consider that racist, or is it just a minority who are upset about it?
Una cosplayer japonesa terminó acusada de blackface por algunos usuarios occidentales tras oscurecerse la piel para interpretar a Jacinthe de “Pokémon Legends: Z-A”, mientras los fans japoneses salieron a defender la fidelidad de su caracterización.
Los críticos en inglés sostuvieron que oscurecerse la piel era ofensivo sin importar la intención. Los japoneses, en cambio, compararon el maquillaje con pintarse de verde para interpretar a Piccolo o de rosa para encarnar a Majin Buu.
Una cosplayer francesa residente en Japón también la respaldó y pidió distinguir entre caracterización y racismo. La artista de Hokkaido se disculpó por el revuelo, pero defendió su decisión: los personajes de Pokémon no tienen una raza definida y para ella el tono de piel es otro elemento del diseño.
As an East Asian person myself, it's actually quite common to find perfumes or body scents from Western or African visitors to be quite strong. So I can't say with certainty whether this was truly racism or simply a sensitivity to an unfamiliar scent.
An African man was seated next to a racist Chinese passenger on a train in China. The Chinese man immediately covered his nose, openly implying that the African smelled bad.
The African man responded by doing exactly the same thing. Even after the Chinese man stopped, the African refused to let peace reign and kept mirroring the offensive gesture.

실제로 많은 일본인들은 한자를 일본인이 만들었다고 생각합니다. "한자를 일본인이 만들었다"라는 말만 직접적으로 하지 않을 뿐 한자에 대해 옛 일본인의 지혜가 담긴 것이라고 말하거나 일본어를 통해 한자의 유래를 설명하는 것은 매우 보편적이며, 일본 정부 또한 그런 관점을 채택하고 있습니다.
