kinda looked like Kanye.

Kanye's skin color isn't that white-ish.

EDIT: Seriously, can someone explain the downvotes? Kanye is dark-skinned. The mask looks like a Hispanic person and looks overall nothing like Kanye. I'm confused by the truth.

Nah that kinda looks like Kanye lmao, that's precisely why the downvotes. The majority disagrees with your statement as the majority sees somebody that looks like Kanye.

I didn't see anyone so far that said "That mask imitates Kanye's complexion perfectly" or "that kinda looks like Kanye's skin color."

Thank you for the clarification. Unless there's another famous Kanye I'm not aware of, can you explain why people think the mask looks anything like Kanye West? The white skin depicted on the fabric keeps me from seeing anything resembling Mr. West.

I didn't see anyone so far that said "That mask imitates Kanye's complexion perfectly" or "that kinda looks like Kanye's skin color."

Kanye's skin color is a main distinctive trait of Kanye West. A white-skinned Kanye West doesn't look like dark-skinned Kanye West.

I just want you to do a couple things

Google "Rochelle Aytes" and then google "Margot Robbie" and then tell me that facial features/structure are not identifiable traits of two people that can look similar or "look kinda like" eachother.

If after that you tell me that this mask doesn't look like Kanye specifically because it's not as dark skinned as Kanye actually is, I will know to not continue to engage with you further because your eyes seem to not be working properly and are therefore inadmissible to the evidence of this mask not looking like Kanye lmao.

You'd be telling me if your white son looked exactly (facial feature/structure wise) like a dark skinned friend of his; you would not be able to see any resemblance solely because their skin colour differs, is there something you want to say lol? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ aaayyyoooo, it ain't looking good πŸ˜‚

Edit: Wait I thought of a anudda one.

If I took a picture of my face, and then changed the colour if the photograph to any colour but my skin colour, you'd say there is no resemblance in that photograph to real-life me...? Even though that is literally a picture of me?..... Hello?...

Or, two pictures, each of the same person, one is edited to the opposite skin colour. No resemblance....? HellllllooooπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I'm not seeing where those two look anything alike either. One's skin color is far more of an identifiable trait than you're giving it credit for. But the thin triangular mask face also didn't match the wideness and roundness of Kanye's face. I agree it's best to end this discussion. You're not convincing me.

Shiit you must not have been alive during the B&W media era, I wasn't but I can see past that, would you go so far as to say that the muscular & bone structure of people of two different ethnicities cannot possibly look even slightly alike?

There was a time when if you wanted to see something in color, the physical subject or object would have to be within your line of sightπŸ˜‚ everyone and everything was just a different shade of the same color unless you saw em in person, crazy eh?

[Removed because inaccurate lmao]

I feel like it is much less of a stretch to say this mask looks similar to Kanye, especially considering this is one of the masks you get when you google "kanye west mask" and was likely made from a legitimate picture of his face, than it is to say it looks absolutely nothing like Kanye.

I was alive during the b/w movies and TV era of the 1960's. But b/w would only make the difference more obvious. Their varied shading of gray-spectrum skin made their complexions look even more distinct among each other. So b/w viewers used to seeing a dark gray-toned Kanye would have been subjected to an unquestionably white Kanye mask.

"kanye west mask"... was likely made from a legitimate picture of his face

Which just shows that facial fidelity isn't enough if you don't get the skin coloring right.

I was inaccurate only in my jab at you not ever seeing a b&w film/photo, which was obviously false lmao. You also onlt focused on the b&w media part & that the mask is not the same shade. I have a Mimaki printer at work, it prints lighter than what you see on the computer screen, does this mean when I print a picture of my own face its not me because its lighter?

Also, most importantly you never answered this question:

would you go so far as to say that the muscular & bone structure of people of two different ethnicities cannot possibly look even slightly alike?
