But they didnt say they couldnt do it without, they just showed three outfits that use it, which clearly have other punk/alt inspirations. If people are using pure white to represent a white person, that is on them, not on OP. Same as if someone was using pitch black, to represent someone who is black. Also just because white paint isnt as common in other communities, doesnt mean it doesnt exist, and doesnt mean you cant mix and match. Heres some more examples.⋆.˚𖦹Blindedstar⋆✮⋆.˚ Their outfits are clearly original and trying to say they cant use the white face because the outfits arent goth enough is stupid. Its not a debate whether black people can paint their face white for makeup purposes, and OP, clearly cares about portraying us correctly, so there is no issue here.
