One of the staples of my Halloween experience is the disgust that I feel while looking at Halloween Costumes. Every single year I look at people’s costumes and wonder why on God’s green earth someone decided to buy or wear that costume. Whether it’s offensive, annoying, or downright stupid here’s a list of costumes that I’ll be side-eyeing this year.
*Disclaimer: This article is (mostly) meant to be a joke! If you decide to wear a costume that doesn’t offend anyone feels free to!*

Do you know what’s so cute? Wearing a costume that doesn’t disrespect the culture of millions of people worldwide. <3

I recently saw a photo of a group of young women dressed like the homeless. I’m not sure how you don’t acknowledge this is a bad idea. But I’ll be glad to tell you; that’s is a really bad idea.
- Any Costume that isn’t Paired with a Mask

This year I’m dressing up as Wonder Woman in the middle of a pandemic. Can a superhero get the coronavirus? Unlikely. Can literally anyone else? Absolutely! Wear. A. Mask.
