September 19, 2019What in the cancerous HELL is wrong with people?!
Who thought this was a good idea?!
Apparently, one mens’ fashion line thought it would be SO CLEVER AND EDGY to make “school shooting” themed hoodies, complete with bullet holes.
WTH?
According to the New York Post:
School shootings should be off-limits as fashion fodder.
But one brand has just unveiled controversial hoodies featuring the names of schools devastated by mass shootings, including Sandy Hook, Virginia Tech, Marjory Stoneman Douglas and even Columbine.
To make matters worse, the hoodies were riddled with bullet holes.
The brand, Dystopia-inspired fashion house Bstroy, founded by designing due Brick Owens and Dieter “Du” Grams, is already getting rightfully taken down on social media after they debuted the offensive garments in New York over the weekend as part of their spring 2020 menswear collection.
Comments piled on, calling their work “disgusting,” “callous” and “revolting.” Many of those calling out the designers include the family members of victims and the survivors of terrorism.
Survivors of the horrific events have weighed in in disbelief:
Kyle Kashuv, a Marjory Stoneman Douglas survivor, gave Bstroy a piece of his mind on Instagram: “I would just like to say, what actual the hell is wrong with you. Goddamn monetizing off a school shooting. Disgusting.”
Added user @Kzaenzz, apparently a student at Stoneman Douglas, “My dead classmates dying should not be a f–king fashion statement.”
“As a Sandy Hook family, what you are doing here is absolutely disgusting, hurtful, wrong and disrespectful. You’ll never know what our family went through after Vicki died protecting her students. Our pain is not to be used for your fashion,” wrote the Instagram account for the Vicki Soto Memorial Fund, named after a teacher who died at Sandy Hook.
The designer tried to explain himself:
“Sometimes life can be painfully ironic. Like the irony of dying violently in a place you consider to be a safe, controlled environment, like school,” the release read. “We are reminded all the time of life’s fragility, shortness, and unpredictability yet we are also reminded of its infinite potential.”
I’m sorry, but the only thing this is reminding me of is people’s “infinite potential” to be ABSOLUTE MORONS.
This is freaking gross.
