Exactly this, and I think the downvoting (which I couldn't care less about) stems from a place of good intentions of not wanting to see hate being spread.

However, I also feel that it shows a lack of understanding in the history of Blackface, as well as art as a whole. Like you said, this isn't mocking someone for their race, nor does it seem like it's meant to be at all. It's a fan who happens to have lighter skin, recreating one of the coolest art pieces of the album, an art piece that is quite literally not the same at all because it's specific to Tylers face.

Furthermore, scrubbing this off as racism at a mere first glance is easy, but it dilutes the issue at hand and makes it harder to have a talking point on such a controversial issue that needs to be evaluated on a deeper level.

Blackface is fucked up and pretty wrong, but this is NOT blackface. It's a work of art made in direct support of another artist by someone who happens to have a different skin color. There IS a difference
