Are some costumes just too offensive?

[rickyh24]

If you are not offended by someone mocking a terrorist victim there is probably something wrong with you.

[ExistenceNow]

Sorry. Just not going to get offended by a Halloween costume.

I'm not saying it's not offensive, and I'm not saying others shouldn't be offended by it. Just saying it doesn't offend me personally.

I guess there's something wrong with me.

That's awesome.

[rickyh24]

No need to apologize because there is something wrong with you. It is what it is.

[ExistenceNow]

Think I'm going to be okay.

I'd be more worried if I was getting butthurt by costumes worn by dumb people I've never met.

[Roose13]

I was offended by the bombing one, until I saw her tits and I'm not offended anymore

[ExistenceNow]

I'm offended that she didn't show her face in the nudes.

Some examples from this year:

1. Actress Julianne Hough dressing as a character from Orange is the New Black in "black face": http://www.buzzfeed.com/lyapalater/j...loween-costume

2. People dressing up as Trayvon Martin.

3. This idiot dressing up as a Boston marathon victim: http://www.buzzfeed.com/rachelzarrel...on-victim?bffb

How are people this dumb?

the way people reacted to this is what's truly sad. my fucking god.

Exactly what someone with something wrong with them would say.

Obviously they overreacted but if you are dumb enough to post that pic and not expect it then you probably deserve it. But chubs is also dumb enough to post nudes so whatever.

You just blew my mind.

I mean, has she never been on the internet before?

So dumb.

[uro55]

While I fully agree what she dressed as was terribly insensitive, offensive and dumb. The people threatening her parents lives are fucked up.

[K270]

How offensive do you think this is? Or is it more hilarious?

Without giving my full thoughts on the matter... I agree with this 100%. I've been offended before, and sure, I bitched about it back in the day when I didn't know how to deal with it... but never to the point where I openly threatened a person.

My sense of humour is as black as my lungs, but I'm never seriously going to attack you for making me feel uncomfortable.

Her twitter handle being "someSKANKinMI" is also pretty telling of her general character.

I'm not going to go as far to say that the reaction she got is what she deserved, but she's a dumbass for thinking something like that wouldn't backfire on her so I have zero sympathy for her. I have some for her parents, but that's as far as it goes.

As far as if I am actually offended by it or not, I'm not really sure. But it was certainly tasteless, and it was completely unfunny. Shocking costume =/= funny or clever.

[smokew11]

i agree with the person who said it depends on your audience. i dont know about offensive, but those costumes are classless

[gravedigger07]

Who the hell cares?

[whygohome?]

I don't get offended by much and those don't offend me personally, but I think it's safe to say all of those people are fucking stupid.

[AlpineValley804]

It's ridiculous that people are getting in such a frenzy over the Julianne Hough thing. It would be like if cancer patients got pissed for someone shaving their head to dress up as Heisenberg.

That's exactly how I feel. They are just stupid for not realizing how pissed off people get about stuff. Julianne Hough was not offensive at all though and definitely doesn't merit anyone to get upset.

yeah going as black face is one thing. putting on makeup to go as a specific character is fine imo

[scrock25]

^^ Exactly what I said on the first page.

Blackface has always been kind of taboo though in Hollywood though. Well, at least since like the 70's. If some random dude does it he's just an asshole but if a famous actress does it, she's pretty vapid if she doesn't realize there's gonna be backlash from it. Its kind of like saying nigger. Sure it doesn't hurt anyone but even used in a seemingly harmess way its the history of it that offends people.

[scrock25]

Just reiterating my opinion that there's nothing wrong with putting on some makeup if you're going to a Halloween party as an African American character of some sort.

Not every black person dresses up as an African American character on Halloween, I'm sure one or two of them have lightened their skin for it. Why is that not considered offensive??
