I can see both sides on this point. I'm a pretty staunch democrat, but I've gradually started taking more and more issue with parts of "cancel culture," as they call it (not that that's exactly what you're advocating). My thinking for Halloween is, "Sure, I won't personally go out of my way to offend people. But a slightly off-colored costume never hurt anyone." Are there more creative costumes than a psycho killer? Sure. But with all the issues going on in the world, I don't think poorly chosen costumes are anything truly worth confronting unless it's an overt Hitler or KKK uniform. Thanks for sending this in, Valerie!
