Halloween costume PC rules: Good idea or[expletive removed]?

Post Reply New Topic

The OP should just go out trick-or-treating dressed up as a Black Native American cowboy drag Queen in a nightgown made out of the confederate flag,and wearing a yarmalka, just to get her ire out of her system!

Whining about whining? That's a silly dismissal, if you are allowed to criticize then people are allowed to criticize you. The difference is with the PC police is that they actually have teeth and destroy lives/careers, the biggest reason people wear offensive costumes in the first place is to shock the bleeding heart ninnies which everybody besides them finds very amusing. People really need to stop getting offended on behalf of other people, you speaking on someone else's behalf as if you're an authority is even more offensive. Let people speak for themselves.

Haloween is supposed to be fun dont let the PC losers ruin your fun just go all out and have fun its the only day of the year you can dress up like a jackass, *with the exception of conventions and costume parties* its bad enough religious ret*ds want to try to ban Halloween.

Pardon the long post but I'm really curious. What do the "PC police" here, as they're called, think of people who are not black dressing up as Garnet or Sardonyx from Steven Universe?

I'm very confused as to why people are upset with non-blacks cosplaying these characters who are Gems (like the rocks) from another planet. Garnet is coded black (meaning she's modeled after African-Americans) but she's an alien. Her body is not even real. Her skin tone is like the stone, kinda dark red/pink.


Sardonyx is when Garnet merges with Pearl, who is a very pale cream, like a real pearl...


Sardonyx thus is a mix of the two, which again is like the stone:


There are people who are flat out angry and sending death threats because non-black people have dressed up like the two, equating it to blackface. One artist recently was bullied just because she changed Sardonyx's hairstyle (they called it whitewashing)
And I guess she attempted suicide or something because of the amount of hate she was receiving based on people not liking her art style, calling her all sorts of names that ultimately had no basis. I tried to find something wrong, some horrible crime, but I couldn't. She cosplayed an alien villainous character from an anime who was supposed to be some sort of mockery of a weeaboo from what I can find, and these people claimed she was "yellowfacing" because she's Filipino not Japanese and the character portrays many bad Japanese stereotypes.... so can we not cosplay villains now?

There was a post I saw today that said, "DONT!! !! dress up as a serial killer this halloween!! !! ! it is appropriating white culture!! !"
Someone else explained to the confused, "Okay look we (PoC and allies) are always trying to educate yall (typically uninformed white people sometimes PoC) about the dangers of cultural appropriation especially around Halloween with all these racist costumes and yall just laugh and don’t take us seriously so here’s us joking about part of yalls culture: serial killers. Because the majority of serial killers in America and probably the world are white. So satire punching up at the dominating race.
We aren’t saying your all bad but even if yall don’t wanna admit it this is a big part of white culture. Along with mass shooters and serial rapist." (which the stats show is completely wrong... but that's an entirely different post)

So I'm just very very confused as to why people get so frothing at the mouth upset over things like this...
