I’m Tired Of Being Offended By Halloween Costumes… But WHO THE EFF THOUGHT THIS WAS OK?!

I’m not here for your “OMG EVERY HALLOWEEN COSTUME IS OFFENSIVE PLEASE ONLY DRESS AS INANIMATE OBJECTS WITH NO CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE IN ORDER TO AVOID BUTT HURTING ANYONE” nonsense.

The star of “Moana” said it best:

The voice of #Moana says anyone can wear a Moana costume for Halloweenhttps://t.co/a5RDJfMnQu

I think it’s absolutely appropriate,” Auli’i shared. “It’s done in the spirit of love and for Disney and for the little ones who just want to dress up as their favorite heroine, I’m all for it.”

She continued, “I would encourage anyone who wants to dress up as a wayfinder who journeys beyond her reef to figure out who she truly is, I totally support you. Go for it! Parents can dress up as Moana, too.”

BEAUTIFUL.

Is telling some little girl “No honey, you can’t dress like THAT princess because she’s not the right RACE” not a HORRIBLY HARMFUL thing to do? Should we not be able to admire and want to emulate people REGARDLESS of their race?

ANYWAY – back to the point. I’m sick and tired of this perpetually offended crap.

But then there’s THIS.

THIS IS A PROBLEM.

A father dressed his son as Hitler for Halloween, and was shocked at the backlash he received https://t.co/RavvezeQyA pic.twitter.com/KeDNwFOthE

WHAT IN THE ACTUAL HELL?

This guy was “shocked” that people reacted to him dressing as a Nazi and his young son as Hitler. SHOCKED.

HOW? HOW IN THIS DAY AND AGE CAN YOU NOT REALIZE PEOPLE AREN’T GOING TO BE FANS OF THIS?!

According to the story above:

Kentucky man has sparked outrage after a picture emerged online of he and his five-year-old son sporting particularly inappropriate Halloween costumes.

The photo, which was taken on the way to a children’s trick or treat event in Owensboro on Thursday, shows Bryan Goldbach dressed as a Nazi soldier and his son as Adolf Hitler.

The father posted the picture on social media, receiving heavy criticism, with many saying the choice of costume was in poor taste.

Goldbach said he chose the uniforms because of his love for portraying historical figures. The father said it didn’t occur to him that the photo would stir as much controversy as it did but acknowledged that he didn’t think the idea through. He has now apologized saying he regrets the decision.

REALLY?

He REALLY didn’t think anyone would take issue with this?

“I wasn’t trying to make a statement or put my son in any position,” Goldbach said, according to The Owensboro Times. “It was bad judgment. I want people to know I am sorry.”

“I think it was in bad taste for me to let my child to wear that, probably for me to wear that. It didn’t occur to me. I thought it was a bad decision on my part,” ABC-affiliate WEHT Eyewitness News reported him as saying.

Yeah dude, it was. There’s no “probably” here… you screwed up.

And I wasn’t so keen on this:

Goldbach also criticized the hateful nature of some of the comments and threats that he had received online and in the streets.

“We saw people dressed as murderers, devils, serial killers, blood and gore of all sorts,” he wrote in a Facebook post. “Nobody batted an eye. But my little boy and I, dress as historical figures, and it merits people not only making snide remarks, but approaching us and threatening my little 5-year-old boy. Yes liberalism is alive and well. And we had the displeasure of dealing with the fruits of the so called “Tolerant Left.””

Ok… so no. He doesn’t get to claim this one.

For one, I’m a Conservative… and I think this is IDIOTIC AND WRONG. This isn’t about liberals v. conservatives. This is about STUPID CHOICES. In this case, an apparent CONSERVATIVE made a stupid choice. I WILL ADMIT THIS. I’m not one to hide or sugarcoat things.

DO NOT BLAME YOUR STUPID CHOICE ON LIBERALS. It cheapens OUR argument when they actually come at us for something that’s absolutely fine.

People threatening his kid? Yeah… that’s MAJORLY screwed up. But again… It frustrates me that this kind of comment will now be tied to OUR concerns with the left.

I DO NOT WANT TO BE TIED TO SOME IDIOT WHO THINKS IT’S OK TO DRESS HIM AND HIS KID UP LIKE HITLER.

OK, glad we’re all clear here.
