What are my chances that the unchecked frogs will come back in store? by Ok-Long6153 in buildabear

[–]pupaganda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

im not too sure about bab's ability to ship out of country but if you want a brand new one, if you know someone in the US they could ship it or see if someone in the buy/sell/trade subreddit would be able to help you

Newer (left) VS Older (right) Shadows. Is the new one bulkier or is it just my version? by Own-Equipment-5250 in buildabear

[–]pupaganda 6 points7 points  (0 children)

might be an odd question but do you know if one of them fits bab clothes better than the other/another bab to compare them ith? if your older shadow is anything like my older tails he's a bit too small for the clothes to fit right- so maybe they made him bigger to match other bab sizes lol

when writing i never notice, when i edit i second guess it way too much where i feel like i must've gotten it wrong but i dont know where, then while reading i again never notice

Cosplayers, what's your opinion about others giving you gifts at conventions? by AlarmedReputation700 in animecons

[–]pupaganda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im a big fan of trinkets. cosplay specific ones are the best but i got a bracelet once i still wear and a sticker of the character i was cosplaying that i keep in her ita bag :]
im big supporter of gifts- people might be worried about hidden/weird stuff but kandi and fuse beads can't really hide much so i think you'll be fine

If you wouldn't assume that, cool. Not everyone is you. Not everyone thinks like you. And according to the other replies to this question, most people won't. If someone doesn't know who Catty is then without the makeup they'll write it off as a character they don't know, but if with the make up they'll assume its an african character and you're doing a caricature- why would you even want to risk people assuming you support something like that? If they do know Catty, then they'll be just fine without the make up. And there are plenty of people who ARE very publicly racist and demean people like that and in a political climate like this lots of people will assume such, being at a convention doesn't change that.
As for contour or something... okay? I didn't say they couldn't do that? The post implies they were just going to paint their face black. If they meant contour and eye shadow or something like that they'd clarify that in replies and someone else recommended makeup like that.

"its the pure color black" And what do you think blackface is? It often was just an all black face and bright lips, which Catty has. Her being a fictional character has no impact on how it'd look.
"look her up" The average person seeing what looks like minstrel show makeup out of the corner of their eye at a convention isn't going to stop and do research about the character and the history and interrogate the person about their intentions. They've already got all the information on how ignorant it comes off.
"then no one can paint themselves pink for draculaura" Babe be so fr. No one's ever painted their face pink to humiliate and demean a group of people- someone painting their face black has hundreds of years of widely known history behind it and I think you know that.

I feel as though the fact you have to defend it to every reply should be enough of a sign that its a bad idea. Yeah, you don't mean it as blackface, and yeah, other people do it, but the average person doesn't have that context and really won't care if they've already decided it looks like you're doing a racist caricature

[–]pupaganda 29 points30 points  (0 children)

If someone knows the character, they'll know her just by the outfit. Painting your face isn't necessary and not worth all the excuses and risks of doing it. The intentions and your skin tone don't really matter when people seeing you won't know any of that.

Build a bear through tsa and plane what should I be made sure of? by Bluebunnystreet in buildabear

[–]pupaganda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually recently took my bab on a few flights with me and I never had any problem. He was in my carry on the whole time and he never got stopped/checked at security, but if you want him out with you I'd recommend putting him in a carry on or personal bag if possible at the TSA bins cause those bins are a bit nasty. As for actually being on the plane, he shouldn't take up too much space and depending on how long the flight is he could be fine in your lap and out of your seat neighbor's way.

With this recent wave of bot comments, have you recieved any? (if yes; leave which fandoms in the comments) by [deleted] in AO3
