Part of my studies was about digital blackface (I’m black btw) and that is definitely what it is. It’s also the reason a lot of memes and reaction gifs tend to involve black people/children. It’s not inherently bad but black people are usually not the ones gaining a platform or profiting off of the use of their likeness/creations. It’s the people using it as entertainment or co-opting it for themselves that are. Along with that can come a lot of exaggeration in movements and facial expressions, a watering down of original content (think Tiktok dances), or the co-opting of AAVE. That’s when it becomes problematic.
