That surprised me because it's not a new concept to him, people already talked about this with him. I don't know if it is because he didn't relate that black/dark blue/whatever people want to say that color is with skin/race or what. Not try to justify it but I try to find a way of making sense of this because Jackson seems the kind of person that really cares if something he does hurts people's feelings. But I'm not black so at the end of the day I don't know shit.
black paint alone could be a bit more overlooked (marina and the diamonds artsy shit or w/e) but that coupled with the spiked collar/head accessory is ://
I'm not sure...since it's a video of a video in a dark room. Colors don't translate well from one brightly lit (and projected screen) to a camera. I am not saying that as any sort of Jackson stan by any means...but I worked in tech and used to do a lot of events like this hence my reservation. I will wait for the commercial to air and see what the color actually is (whether black or blue etc.) to make a call.
I mean, I'm not gonna argue with anyone who finds this offensive; it's not my call to make. I'm just confused about what the body paint has to do with the commercial/product...? Also since Jackson posted that instagram picture last year and apologized for it, you'd think he'd know better.........
Seeing the way you're talking about it I'm not confident that even with complete proof you'd acknowledge that it's a problem since you seem so open to the idea of him being wrong right now..
Being passive aggressive to people offended by blackface or even potential black face isn't a good look
Why was he painted in the first place? What's the reasoning behind using this method for whatever the hell the commercial is about? What does it have to do with anything that it was so necessary?
My personal opinion based on solely what I see in front of me: WHAT the fuck?
When it comes to that post in instagram last year Jackson was wrong but here? The cf still hasn't come out yet. Some people see dark blue so I'd wait at least until the cf is released before dragging.
And the company's official colors are yellow and dark blue. I don't understand this cf at all. I don't know why Jackson was added when the company's face is Taec. Jackson was not mentioned in the videos and articles about this product. It's like he's just a extra. And honestly, even if it's black there's no way Jackson can apologize for the company or say no to them when it's his first cf and he's just an extra...
It's unfortunate that this happened and I wouldn't mind if he wasn't in this cf.
Doesn't look black to me at all, looks dark navy blue. People please calm down and reserve judgment until the HQ CF is actually out, there's no point in crucifying him preemptively if it turns out he did nothing wrong.
In this context though, is it really blackface? I don't see anything that could be mocking black culture, but then again that's just my perception of the few seconds you actually see it. Looks like it's meant to be ~artsy~ and it looks like a commercial for a phone of some kind.
did anyone say anything about GD painted all black in coup d'etat? (i didnt like the song so i didnt see the discussion thread about the MV) because the feeling is similar for this jackson clip,
edit: and at the end of the day, regardless of whether or not jackson wanted to paint his whole body dark, im sure the agency is forcing him to do the endorsement
regardless of whether or not this ends up being blackface it makes me wonder how much of a say idols actually have when it comes to what they do in commercials like this or just...anything else they do rly
Even if it turned out to be worse, would Jackson have any say against a big company when he's under a contract to do whatever he's told to do? I hate this argument "he should know better" when yes, he might know better now but what hold does he have as a two-year-old rookie? He deleted that IG post before you can blink and apologised just as quickly because it was his own mistake but this, this is not in his control.
And people don't know that Taec is that company's face and Jackson wasn't mentioned in their articles and videos. I don't think that someone who was treated as an extra like Jackson could say anything or refuse. Jackson has never had a cf alone either. He's a nugu in cf world.
there's a lot happening in that 10 sec clip. If I have to write of Jackson, I WILL, I didn't vote for him in the thirst games anyway. He's a repeat offender tbh.
My only concern is Taecyeon. It hasn't even been 48 hours since I said his dorky bland personality has kept him in my good graces, and now he's involved in this mess -_- LE SIGHS

Date: 2016-01-27 05:32 am (UTC)yeah bc even if it is blackface, it's a commercial so it's not like Jackson (a product) can be like "nah I'm not doing this it's wrong"
it's still 10000% wrong but its a different kind of wrong if he did it himself to be "funny"
