Sepreth(@Sepreth):Japanese voice actress Hazuki Tanda painted her face black for a Shaun the Sheep costume and posed with a banana and vegetables. Foreign users called it blackface and pointed to the banana as a racial stereotype. Japanese users pushed back, saying Shaun’s face is black in the original design and she was just recreating the character. Once the photos left Japan, the argument was already locked in.
