Nowhere did I state anything about the law, or otherwise rules enforced on others. Nor did I say anything about suing people.
I was talking about personal responsibility in not harming someone else. If your ethical guidance is so broken, you need a law to tell you what you should and shouldn't do, I feel tremendously sorry for you.
Does portayal of blackface harm? Yes, it does to the BiPOC community, with terrible racial stereotypes. So don't fucking do it. Again, this isn't a hard concept to figure out.
If we all tried to do things that even minimally considered "is this thing going to harm others" and not doing it, we would have a better and more respectful society. And no more laws needed.
- If you actually do blackface, you are accountable by current social standards on that matter
- If someone releases a deepfake of you in blackface and doesn't make clear it's machine generated, you can sue them for libel
- If some releases a ML photo of you in blackface and clearly states it's machine generated, you are accountable for nothing and they are accountable by current social standards regarding blackface.
