What? Why does blackface need a trigger warning?
Also, please note that it is not in fact "blackface", which is a very specific term. Blackface comes from the American tradition of minstrel shows, and is intentionally demeaning to black people, whereas people who dress up as Black Pete have about as much intent to offend as geishas with their white make-up.
