The character isn’t important that he was trying to be; it’s the reasoning to yourself that it’s ok to do it in the first place.
But, do what? I'm still trying to work out what you think is wrong with a white guy dressing up as a tanned, white character by using fake tan. Nothing about his costume or his skin tone suggest that he's trying to portray a black character.

I'm a bit confused on that point too. Is it now morally unacceptable to do anything to make your skin darker? Is sunbathing the work of Satan? Am I a bad person for not using more suntan lotion? Admittedly, fake tan is obviously a force for ill in the world, but I think we all knew that.

Do you really need to put fake tan to portray a character?
The issues largely is how it look; straight off the bat, it look like blackfacing without the context.

No idea. The fact that Rutland CC admitted they were offensive images and removed them says it all. The character isn’t important that he was trying to be; it’s the reasoning to yourself that it’s ok to do it in the first place. But given the climate of the club it’s hardly surprising that he may have thought it not offensive in the first place.
