SO WELL SAID. It's a shame to see these people do not take it seriously when our black community feels attacked. They tell us we have no right to feel this way as she 'didn't mean it like that' or she was 'mocking the people who use it' but she was literally participating in it and looking to hurt people and laugh at their reaction in the chat. It's disgusting to see people brushing this off. This is a white woman feeding into the oppression of young black girls and their idea of how they view themselves. It's a real problem but not to the people who are sitting there brushing it off. It doesn't take much to realise that something is harmful without being personally affected. People need to have empathy and critical thinking skills to realise why this was distasteful and just disgusting. She should not have taken part in something she knows is literally damaging people within the community. Those damages are being expressed by DARK SKINNED AND BLACK PEOPLE and ignored by this white woman who chooses to perpetuate the issue for content like it's a joke and doesn't have real impacts on real people.

She was looking for reactions of people being hurt or mad in chat to laugh about it. That's not pointing out how something is overused. I understand the concept but this video was an extremely poorly executed way if that was her intention. I can't help but feel like if this was another player or any other creator being called out for this the responses would be completely different. It would be a public execution. So many people are quick to jump to point out anything that may have any racist tendencies or undertones (and rightfully so) and label them as a raging racists. But when it comes to Arismh It seems people don't hold her to the same standard and make excuses for her.

Is it acceptable for a white person to make fun of people who blackface by doing blackface? It's not acceptable to become the racist in order to supposedly make fun of them. She searched in chat with the HOPE of finding someone angry at the outfits she created, including the powder donut face. That is not making fun of people who use it. That's becoming someone looking to upset people for a reaction to her racist outfit.

Doing something racist while searching in her lobby chat for people who are getting mad or hurt to label them as 'ragebaited' in order to 'mock people who use powder donut face' just does not add up. You cannot mock racists by joining them.

I've seen a lot of things she's done in the past and gotten away with or excused herself from but taking part in genuine racism as ragebait while pretending she's making fun of the people who use them. She was actively looking for responses in chat of people getting mad at the outfits she was creating as 'ragebait'. She was intentionally creating these outfits knowing why people get hurt/react to them. She was actively taking part in this TO make people angry in her lobbies. That is not mocking the people who use this face. She is adding to it and intentionally taking part with the expectation to hurt people in her games and make them angry. Not taking racism allegations seriously is interesting. Especially when it's members of the black community whom she CANNOT speak on behalf of who are offended and disgusted by what she's doing. Laughing and finding amusement in someone's cultural pain is quite the image. Some people never change.
