if claudettes face gets removed as a cosmetic option, I think it's only fair to remove all of them...
whites and asians aren't the only ones who deserve to have their faces cut off.Yes, they should. I don't recall leatherface ever wearing a black persons face in the movies. Also, asian people don't have a history with people mocking them by pretending to be their race by wearing a mask..

I agree whole heartedly. Being called a troll for my beliefs is disheartening. Maybe some don’t understand what we go through. It wasn’t made with the intent of being used for bad, but it often is. So perhaps the developers need to take it out and remedy the issue. If they take out one.... all should be removed.I agree. Didn't they give this some thought before adding a feature that lets a white man wear a black womans face and run around with a chainsaw. It doesn't exactly make us look good, there are so many negative stereotypes out there about us. They should just remove them all if they remove one.

Leatherface is a serial killer who wears the faces of his victims. Claudette just happens to be black. If people want to be racist, then they’ll send you a message before or after the game. I think you guys are thinking too hard about this.yeah, it makes me feel better to know that the racist gets to call me a slur and also wear a cosmetic to go along with his racism.

And there is the proof. I am afraid as long as you continue with you "us vs them" attitude, you will never be happy. It is actually YOU who is saying we are different and I can't understand because of the pigment of MY skin....which you assume is white.
I am afraid you are actually the one being racist in our discussion.
Us vs Them? We just want this so stop. I just don't want these racists to have an outlet on a game I love. Just the other day when I was streaming someone stream sniped me and came into my stream and said "GET RKT N****" after killing me. The guy/girl happened to be playing leatherface with that same stupid Claudette cosmetic. Is this a coincidence? I don't know but it seems to happen a lot.

I'm glad this discussion is finally happening. There isn't a day that goes by where I look at my skin color and think of myself as someone who gets treated less than most people. Because this is the reality I live in day by day basis I'm used to it which is pretty said to say. I don't think it's asking too much to understand our side. Where in the past people have mocked our skin color for being too dark and advertising bleaching cream to make our complexion lighter. In the past Caucasian people were used blackface as entertainment, over doing their lips with lipstick and covering the whole face in black to mock and make us look silly. Black face was used to make a mockery of African Americans. So when i see a Caucasian putting a black mask on. Look at it in my perspective or at least try to. I get that some of you might say.. well he does white faces too.. well in the past Caucasian people didn't make fun of your whole race using some mask did they? No they didn't.
Exactly, I think people forget our history or they just refuse to step into our shoes. The ignorance needs to stop.
Words like that perpetuate the "us vs them"mentality. There is no such thing as "separate but equal" but phrases like the one you just used perpetuate that very separatism.
There is usually a double standard when things like this are called out (which you just highlighted), which is probably why there are so many "lol"s being thrown out in this thread.
There are very real race issues out there but the issue in this thread is definitely not one of them and focusing on this is a slap in the face to people who experience racism every day.
Did you really just trivialize this situation? " There are very real race issues out there" How can you even say that? You talk like someone who doesn't know anything about being a minority. You can't just deem this case of racism less racist than the next because what does that even entail? racism is racism.

I'm so glad someone said something, I've been concerned about this for a while as well. As an African American myself I found it to be very insulting. This is especially true when you see almost every Cannibal wearing that specific cosmetic.. it kinda hurts deep down because you know they're doing it as a joke and its a running gag in the community.
