As a proud 90s baby, I must speak on this absolute bullshit that is plaguing our nation right now!
The way I grew up was that Halloween was the one night of the year you could dress up as ANYTHING you wanted and no one could say jack crap about it!
Now, however, if you idolize Moana and want to dress up as the beautiful daughter of the Chief, it is called cultural appropriation and you will get SO MUCH backlash for showing your appreciation of the character and her culture???? What in the absolute fuck????
Listen, I apologize for the language but this really, really, entirely grinds my gears! ENOUGH ALREADY! Everything is offensive! Everything!!!
I am done with it! I grew up LOVING Halloween and all that it meant and I refuse to let that tradition die. If my kids want to dress up as Moana, a cowboy, a native (and I am native american....No I am not offended when someone dawns a big head dress and tries to do the yell- side note the big head dresses were worn for show i.e. entertainment not ceremony or sacred), an alien, a priest, a nun, a footballer, a cat, etc.... I DONT CARE! ROCK THOSE COSTUMES!!!
Also, if anyone does say anything to a child or really anyone for what they chose their costume to be- that person saying they are offended is a grade A dick head. It is a costume. You can cross dress and your sexuality is never in question. You can be a vampire, a werewolf, something dead, something undead, an object, a satirical joke, a meme, or ANYTHING YOU WANT TO BE! Halloween is not a day to be controlled or condemned!
Sure, it is in poor taste if you dress up as Hitler or a giant penis but I have no right to control your costume or bully you because that is what you chose to dress up as. And, why on God's green earth is it okay for the media to criticize a woman for taking the idea of a character and making it sexy? She felt comfortable in the costume, she wanted to be sexy, she isnt a child; LET HER DRESS HOWEVER THE HELL SHE WANTS TO! Literally, for months, all I have seen in the media is them shoving down our throats that we as women have more and more rights to wear what we want and have the autonomy and safety to do so or should and then bam! An article on this woman wearing a costume deemed sexy and apparently inappropriate. She didnt wear it to make a statement to children that that is what all girls should aspire to be, it was her damn Halloween costume! Link below

I mean, I was the corpse bride for Halloween and I am sure that someone somewhere is offended.
On a side note, I used my younique make up for my look instead of the cheap halloween make up sold at like walmart cause it just worked better and was way better for the health of my skin!
