Last month cosplayer Yakfrost posted on their Twitter account a Google Docs list of known black face/race face cosplayers, and asked the community to block them from their social media. Upon hearing about the list, the cosplayers listed and their followers retaliated through misgendering, calling Yakfrost "the real racist," Nazi and other terrible things.
All because they made a list of racists doing racist things... okay.
