    TW: Racism. Cosplayers vs. Blackface and Brownface

    koristarfire:

    Right now the cosplay community is in a uproar about race and what is and is not okay to do regarding a costume. I personally am not a fan of anyone trying to force their opinions on another person. But I would like to try and help the community better understand an issue before they begin preaching on it.

    Today’s topic: Blackface vs. Painting one’s skin for character accuracy.

    saydolly: womentravelmotherindia: The Gulabi Gang is an extraordinary women’s movement formed in 2006 by Sampat Pal Devi in the Banda District of Uttar Pradesh in Northern India. This region is one of the poorest districts in the country and is marked by a deeply patriarchal culture, rigid caste divisions, female illiteracy, domestic violence, child labour, child marraiges and dowry demands. The women’s group is popularly known as Gulabi or ‘Pink’ Gang because the members wear bright pink saris and wield bamboo sticks. Sampat says, “We are not a gang in the usual sense of the term, we are a gang for justice.” GRRL GANGS ALL OVER THE WORLD ♥

Lesbian and homosexual staff will get extra wages to make up for higher taxes they have to pay. The search engine decided it was only fair to bump up the salaries of its gay staff, a spokesman said. Under U.S. law, when a firm offers health insurance as a benefit for an employee’s partner, it is tax-free for married couples but taxable income for  gays. Google will make up the difference in additional pay, on average $980 a year.
