>You’re racist for using makeup to look more like the character your cosplaying >It’s racist >Against a fictional race So are fursuiters racist against the race of furry they’re dressed as
Isabela is a human character. in Dragon Age “qunari” is a word used both for the qunari race (a tall, muscular people with grey-toned skin who generally have horns), and the Qunari (individuals of any race in Thedas who are members of the Qun). i personally differentiate with capitalization
the cosplayer got confused because Isabela’s mother is Qunari – but she is Viddathari, and is a humanwoman who is a member of the Qun
Isabela is 100% human, and there is zero evidence that she is of qunari descent. Your “but she’s not human” argument is invalid.
this cosplayer wore brownface for this cosplay, and that is racist
“ohhh would you look at that, my pawns found jesus and now they’re all bishops”
“so i realize it looks like i’m putting a thimble on the board but actually my rooks have been using their downtime to build another rook, one that’s better, stronger, faster—”
“hey welcome back. while you left to get a snack, those six pieces you’d captured slipped their guards, tunneled to safety and emerged right in the middle of your royal palace.”
“oof, looks like you’ve got my king cornered…maybe this is a good time to mention that shortly before we started playing, my pawns and knights revolted and instituted a representative democracy. feel free to kill the puppet ruler that was the one remaining vestige of our tyranny, you cringing servant of the crown. vive la revolution!”
