It's nowhere near October, but one ensemble is already on track to be named the most controversial Halloween costume of 2015.

Social media users were out in full force on Monday criticizing several Halloween retailers for offering a Caitlyn Jenner costume reminiscent of the former-athlete's Vanity Fair cover earlier this year.

While Jenner's supporters condemned the costume as "transphobic" and "disgusting" on Twitter, Spirit Halloween, a retailer that carries the costume, defended the getup.

"At Spirit Halloween, we create a wide range of costumes that are often based upon celebrities, public figures, heroes and superheroes," said Lisa Barr, senior director of marking at Spirit Halloween. "We feel that Caitlyn Jenner is all of the above and that she should be celebrated. The Caitlyn Jenner costume reflects just that."

She comes so close to hitting the nail on the head.

. . . while media narratives paint these cautions as forms of left-wing political correctness, a significant minority of trigger warnings arise on conservative campuses in response to explicit or queer content. NCAC executive director Joan Bertin told me that the survey yielded more than 94 reports of sex-related trigger warnings, including from art history teachers displaying homoerotic images and studio drawing teachers importuned to announce nudity and help “conservative students … feel more in control of the material.”

Oklahoma redneck mother and her biological adult daughter get charged with incest for being married to each other. Family apparently has prior history of incest: the same mother married her son a few years earlier, but he asked for an annulment later.

Gabriel Roth was a whiny, passive-agressive cunt to Merriam-Webster. Merriam-Webster makes fun of him for being a complete tool.

Roth proceeds to bitch out harder than ever.

Heh, well first of all, I can definitely imagine sperglords out there getting cranky for calling someone mad when they're angry. That's ableism, y'know.

Secondly, I don't even get what this guy is rambling about. He goes on some weird stoner rant about nothing.
