queerla knocked that out of the park to the point i don't have much to add myself, except for anecdotal vouching. i think most people tend to agree that making character designs, art, fashion avatars etc a different race than you isnt inherently a bad thing, and often is very good, granted that due diligence is paid to ensuring youre not perpetuating stereotypes, and that you aren't using those avatars or characters to obsfucate your own race. truth be told, i never fully grasped how widespread of an issue it was until i saw exactly how often artists on twitter were using icons of their black characters, drawing themselves darker than they actually are, and even literally using dark-skinned emojis to very deliberately distract from the fact they were white
lets be real here

oh my, love how well informed and culture people in this game is.
i've read the articles Queeria provided and all of them tell great knowledge, but the third one is especially disturbing (the content is, otherwise the article is amazing and informative).
what i think is, when people do digital blackface and experience racism with the channel of their character, they will be able to easily shake it off, because the racism and all the discrimination is only essentially to their character, and not themselves. which is going to desensitize them sooner or later, and they will never understand how dangerous and harsh racism is, because there is no direct attack on them.
i understand this part perfectly!
and from my situation, the games i play lets you choose a wide variety of "skins" (they all have different faces etc so not only skin, but whole body) and you can choose it how you want and change at any moment. is it wrong for me to use darker skins too? ( please note i am not presenting myself as a black person, i am just dressing up a black skin)
here are the examples of my dressups:
(i also use lots of dark skins but i couldnt find other outfits)
and tbh, i feel like i always open up controversial topics etc haha.

dipsydoll, I would like you to clarify this situation to us by message or report the post that breaks our rules because we have no clue about who break them and how it happened at all. Positive criticism is always appreciated, but snark remarks don't help us to solve anything and often just start another situation.
Surprise, b*tch! Something Wicked is coming, and I guess it's me! Who's the baddest witch in town? ;)

Positive criticism is always appreciated, but snark remarks don't help us to solve anything and often just start another situation.it was clarified many times over by previous users who approached the mod team with genuine respect and patience and got nothing but dismissal and snark in response. that didnt work. :^) the situation as it stands has been laid out several times already and every question has been dodged. i will not waste energy approaching people in good faith when it hasnt worked before. if you dont want people to poke fun at your fragility in the face of being asked politely to not do transphobic and racist garbage, the solution is to not do it. easy
