Just saw a tiktok with a white lady chastising other "⚪ people" for using a certain audio in their videos and "sneering" their lips in sync with a typical boisterous vocalization calling it "digital blackface".
Things aren't looking good for 2028, y'all.

As far as I can tell, every character of color is voiced by an actor of color. That’s rare even today, and we’re talking about a game from 1999. Even the sequels didn’t do that.
I wouldn’t say #TheLongestJourney deserves a remaster, but only because I think it still looks and plays good when run in #ScummVM.
Maybe I should give #TheSecretWorld another try…

“#DigitalBlackface” Artist Competing for a #Grammy
Ghostwriter’s “heart on my sleeve” became a viral hit thanks to vocals by Drake & The Weeknd. But neither contributed to the song.
It's #AI all over again, baby.
(I can't believe we're doing this.)

Fucking hell… Have your ratings tanked so fucking badly that your coping mechanism is to resort to woke fake outrage over images on a computer screen?!
SAD!
NordVPN have started adding a weird whitewashed trap beat to their YouTube ads.
We're actually doomed.
If you're not Black, stop using Black people in your memes and GIFs as if we're raw material just waiting for you to exploit us. Cut the #digitalblackface out or face the consequences.
Already avoid this? Call out your friends or comrades who do the same. Expose those who don't give a shit about us.
Good grief, it's you
