I want to ask why you feel this way and if you have tried using a terminal at all,
Cus im stubborn and my brain wants to click on buttons rather than type command lines for whatever reason. idk- I can use a terminal, ive done it before, but I guess for like- ADHD reasons my brain is like “nah fuck this I wanna click some buttons n shit”

ok, after using DDG for 3-4 weeks, its come to my attention that this search engine is kinda fucking annoying to use ;m;
First thing, it doesn’t correct the misspellings for me like google does, I have to fix them myself. idrk if theres a fix for that
second thing, it is now ALSO giving me heavily unrelated shit to what im trying to search. Im trynna look up things like “How to make Kava taste good” and its giving me articles on just what Kava is. or I’m looking up, “Why do all the good people die first and bad people live on” and its giving me articles on what personality traits live the longest. It’s some how WORSE than google, cus now I have to do even more tweaking in my searches just to get it to fucking stop, it wouldnt even tell me if the word “Am” is a Pronoun or not, I had to scroll through a bunch of unrelated shit before giving up and using google. What the fuck :(
Thirdly, there is no third complaint really- im just getting really really sick and tired of DDG giving me random/unrelated shit. maybe im not doin something right, idk, but its frustrating as fuck.

eyup.
usually people who are offended by what I say or do are white. I dont really know why I asked this question knowing how sensitive some people can be.
Context: I make a lotta slave/black stereotype jokes towards myself, I remember a friend of mine showing me this picture of a baby monkey and my immediate response was “Damn how’d you get ahold of my baby pictures??” It was funny asf to most, but one person was like “UHH UHH I DUNNO IF IM ALLOWED TO LAUGH AT THAT- UHHHH”
ima just do my thing anyways lmao. especially cus the people who do got Vitiligo have commented here saying the dont gaf and that its cool. B )

On the left is Fanon JTK and the right is a more lore accurate version of him.
Every character in the creepypasta fandom so far is paper white, and if they arent white then their some inhuman color or a beast… For years, the fandom has always been dominated by WHITE people :p. so all of the characters are white or European in some way
In his origin story, we was caught in a fight with one of his bullies when the bully has splashed jeff’s face with bleach before lighting him on fire. After healing up and taking off the bandages, dude went nuts about how “beautiful” he was, before cutting off his eyelids so he wouldnt sleep and slicing a smile into his face. After that, he killed his family and did some other spooky shit ig.
The vitiligo makeup is a design choice that I MADE. I wanted him to have an afro-centric look to him. to replace the scene hairstyle with large, matted dreads, and to add white splotches or scars to his skin. It was after the accident that the dude snapped due to his face no longer looking like his face. thats why I wanted to add areas of white scare tissue or vitiligo to his skin. I’m not doing it just cause, I’m doing it cus im black, and being able to put my own afro-centric spin on things, on a fandom that I like thats only really been dominated by white characters, is cool as shit to me. The vitiligo appearance is just another Black design choice I made cus its cool asf, it’s accurate to how dark skin can react from certain injuries, and just an overall look that is unique to version of Jeff the Killer. In my mind, if I was him and was burned the same way he was; my black skin was now covered with various A-symmetrical, leathery white splotches; yea I’d prolly go crazy too. This is how I interoperated my race-swapped version of em

THIS- FUCKING- FINALLY GOOD LORD.
I really dunno why I asked cus like- 9/10 the people saying “ouuh uhmm, that could really hurt someone feelings” or that it’d hurt their feelings are either white or don’t have vitiligo. This question woulda been better if I’d ask about it in a black community but there’s not a lot of active ones here on lemmy it seems like? idk

how tf does one make Freddy Kruegar tasteful? /g
his whole existence is centered around him hunting down and killing little kids

But if I was a person with vitilligo, I might be a lot more upset by it, especially considering that the character is a horror character meant to be scary to look at.
jeff being burned white is not why he’s scary but alright 😭😭😭😭 Jeff the killer is “Scary” because he cut a whole smile into his face and killed off his whole family. if someone assumes the Vitiligo makeup was only added to make him “Spookier” I feel like that says more about them than me. I want the Vitiligo makeup because it adds more character to my version of Jeff The Killer. Dark skin, long black dreadlocks and these bleached white patches on his skin… It all apart of the character design, MY design. It’s cool as fuck, and if anything should be the opposite of offensive seeing more black people like me still active in the Creepypasta community.
I thought over it for some weeks, and tbh- if someone is truly offended by it, 9/10 their getting offended for someone else, or are getting themselves mad over what deadass isnt that offensive at all.
I feel like this sorta goes back to that whole thing of just white people(dont kill me for saying this it’s just an anecdotal observation ;w;) being offended for something that fr doesnt effect them, no offense… Jeff’s skin being pale is not his horror aspect, if people really knew who he was, then they’d know that and just respect the choice I made on the cosplay. This is like going to see a certain movie or a haunted house and then being offended because someone has on Burn-victim makeup/SFX scar makeup. I always thought It’s weird asf for people to just kinda- pick and choose what they wanna be offended by and what they dont. Like If I wear blinding white eye contacts; the ones that make you look like you have no iris, that your eyes are blind or all white; I’m not mocking those who already have blind eyes, it’s a cosmetic and nothing more, especially if its just for a goofy little cosplay like a ghost or Storm from X-men.
Offensive is me wearing the makeup without the cosplay, putting on white splotches and scar tissue SFX and then just walking around like that in public where there is no convention; It wouldnt be in a costume either, it’d just be the makeup. That I can understand, cus unless it’s just to see how convincing you can make your SFX makeup look, there’s no real reason for someone to be doing that tbh, and if they wanted to spook people, there’s plenty of other wounds and scars they could go with.
“I saw another comment in this thread saying that portraying black characters as a cosplay is different than doing Vaudeville-style blackface, but most people in the cosplay community would disagree with that. Nobody has a problem with people playing characters who are a different race than the cosplayer, but the consensus tends to be that you shouldn’t change your skin color to do it. It’s heavily discouraged. “I can’t take off my race at the end of the day” is something I’ve heard from black cosplayers a lot when this discussion comes up.”
Me putting white splotches on my skin to portray a character that is a burn victim of some kind or that they had had lost melanin on some parts of their body body due to a traumatic injury to their skin ain’t changing my race tho 😭 Like- I’m still black, I’m just applying small splotches of pale colored scar tissue to my face to look as though I’d been affected by a bleach attack… Which jeff was. His skin was bleached and set on fire. I’m not painting my whole face white XDDD that’d defeat the purpose of me making it afro-centric.
The rule tends to be that you shouldn’t change your skin color unless it’s a fantasy color like purple, green, etc. It very likely will be offensive to someone. Technically blue skin can also be considered offensive, as there are people in this world with blue skin, The Blue Fugates come to mind. But I don’t think any of them care at all about someone painting themselves blue so they can look like papa smurf.
To be honest, I’m not really sure why I asked in the first place 😭😭 I think I was just really paranoid at the time and thats why I hurriedly went and made this post. My general existence is an offense to most people by default, so me doing some funky makeup ain’t gonna make much of a difference in that fact XD I’m cosplaying a fictional emo serial killer, any effort of being tasteful then is now automatically lost by that fact

If its burn scars, then no. Its not offensive, its scar makeup/SFW.
Offensive is when you paint your entire skin brown or try to paint yourself as a different race to play a character.

Tbh ima have to practice some scar makeup first. And true Vitiligo is just an autoimmune disease and not caused by external factors as far as I know. But burns can trigger it or something similar to it. To me, Vitiligo is just the death of pigmentation in the skin
- Comment on Is it okay to fake Vitiligo makeup for a cosplay?? 1 month ago:
I legit already did that and it’s both. it can get lighter or darker.
spoiler
spoiler
All of it depends on the type of burn, severity, and the person’s skin. Jeff the killer became lighter after the burn, so to me it would make sense that, if my skin was burned, Id have both dark spots and white blotches leftover on my skin.
- Comment on Is it okay to fake Vitiligo makeup for a cosplay?? 1 month ago:
I did do that, I cant link the other images I found tho, but sometimes It doesn’t come back. It depends on the severity of the burn
And in the context of JEFF THE KILLER, his melanin doesn’t come back either. After the burn, his hair turns black and his skin turns white. That’s how he’s always looked. So the skin being turned white regardless is true to the character. Hence why I want to have white splotches in the makeup.

Tbh… DDG in my opinion gives me way too much porn when it comes to image searching. And sure I could just turn on safe search, but I dont wanna do that and fear it may hide some images that aren’t porn that I’d maybe wanna see

Dunno how they wouldnt notice the red eye contacts, the bloodied knife and hoodie, and the cut smile on my face before going “oh hey that kinda looks like Vitiligo” but I’ll try!!

JTK Is white, so his burn scars are way different than how they’d be on white skin. In fact, his burns are the reason he’s paper white to begin with
- Comment on Is it okay to fake Vitiligo makeup for a cosplay?? 1 month ago:
Burn scars on black skin make white patches tho… Especially when healed
That’s why I asked <:p
Tbh the more I research about burns on dark skin, the more I realize doing Vitiligo makeup is unavoidable, as burns can very much trigger vitiligo anyways.

Yessssssss. i always loved creepypasta as a kid. Sadly, being in fandoms like those were seen as a “White people” kinda thing. There weren’t any black creepypastas to even begin with tbh… I’m hoping my cosplay may spark some interest in both the community and with other black folks :3
I also just love adding my own spin on stuff when I can (＾ｖ＾)
