Regardless of what you believe the community has upvoted it to the point of making it to the front page, that can be taken as a signal that the community is changing.
Or you could be part of the "fantagonists" the article also mentions? You know the group Bay recognize as "genuine Star Wars fans disappointed in the movie". So maybe don't paint yourself with the "bot brush" and then claim they removed your humanity.
While I can see some stereotypical costumes as offensive, I don't think people dressing up as iconic figures can be considered racist. Is it racist if an Indian girl wants to dress up as Wonder Woman? Is it racist if a Korean girl wants to dress up as Storm? What about an English girl that wants to dress up as Tiger Lily? Should a person really be barred from dressing up as an iconic person simply because the colour of their skin doesn't match the character's/person's? Isn't that an act of racism?
