I rly luv Kaitlin so I was watching interviews of her and I saw this 1 where her funny anecdote was literally just 'my husband did blackface for our show and I got hurt on set so when we went to the hospital he didn't bother taking off the makeup and a lot of the ppl in the hospital were rly upset and disturbed haha isn't that funny :)' and now I can't look at her without getting kinda bummed :/ like watching her talk about the biggest mistake sunny has ever made like it was funny was so gross:(
listn, i hear ya, bt unfortunately im not th 1 to come to w this stuff bcuz evn tho im black iv...p mch movd past th fact tht sunny did blackface lmfao
to start, th n word has ben said 3x by non-black ppl on th show. first time is literally n ep 1. like, it’s ben racey th ntire time. th blackface wz done n jest/is called back to later w den saying “im not gunna lie, his use of blackface i found a bit regrettable.” thers evn an ep basically dedicated to them debating abt how offensiv it was to do. like, idk, these charas r shitty ppl nd rcg consistently tests how far they cn take that
still, th story that bums u out is 1 of th stories tht actully makes me laugh th most. id b so confused nd uncomfy if i was the emergency personnel, absolutely, nd im not saying tht them doing blackface is like, ok or excusable. bt it doesnt rly bothr me to th xtent it seems to bothr others. white ppl do garbage things mch too consistently fr me to get heated abt evry single issue tbh lmfao
n e ways kaitlin is still xtremely important to me nd i dnt think her finding th situation funny wz hateful, nor meant to b taken as her bein like “blackface is funny.” situationally, it’s jst a hilarious nd awkward af thng to happen. like, her havin no idea y theyr gettin glared @ b4 turning to rob nd Suddenly Remembering like “oh shit yEAH...the uh...blackface...ok yep that’s fair lmao whoops.”
i get y it makes ppl uncomfy. i get tht sm ppl cant look past it. im not gnna call n e 1 sensitiv or sm shit fr caring a lot, nd its not like i think blackface is funny. i jst think, specific to wat ur mentioning, th anecdote is less “its funny we made ppl uncomfy” nd more “its funny i wz oblivious to th situation b4 i realizd how offensiv we mst hav lookd”
