I do worry about other people’s feelings.! I’m not in the “f*ck your feelings” camp. It doesn’t feel great when people hurt my feelings. I guess I’m in the “treat others who you would like to be treated” camp. If this is becoming a widely accepted practice, I would like to know and comply.

No, this is not a thing and you are ridiculous in your overthinking[/quote]

Digital blackface is definitely a thing. It's just not really what's being described in the OP.[/quote]

Naw, it isn’t. Sounds like weird, niche manufactured outrage. [/quote]

You're wrong. People assume black identities online and hide behind anonymity.

I don't know about the appropriate level of outrage, but it is definitely a thing.[/quote]

That’s just weird Republicans who have been humiliated after getting found out[/quote]

Progress. At least you acknowledge it's a thing now.

Digital blackface has been used in the 2016 election to sway black voters, during COVID to stir up anti-vax sentiment among black people and, ridiculously, by Harry and Meghan haters who feel their criticisms will have more weight coming from a "black" voice. [/quote]

Why, no. I am saying “digital blackface” sounds like someone’s lame, clumsy attempt to coin a phrase.[/quote]

The phrase has been around and in use for a while. It is someone assuming a black identity in online fora (as opposed to the Rachel Dolezal's of the world). Things get coined all the time, that doesn't undermine the existence of the concept.

If it's new to you, just say that...[/quote]
