Thank u for getting the reference but I really want to know. Is this some new acceptable form of blackface? Does he slather putty on himself? Is it a mask?
Blackface implies caricature. This isn't attempting to be African American.
His visual media has quite a bit of this transhumanist stuff showing people made out of different materials, Hate or Glory shows a maniac who gets cast into gold for pleasure.
Considering he was working with Lady Gaga, who is also known for these extreme runway looks, I would say it was quite appropriate.
I'm glad you provided a serious answer, because I thought the bottom picture was just a joke and not a reference to an actual person or thing that had happened.
