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."

Does anyone know her name before she transitioned?

This is in the article:

The platform has hosted violent or sexually explicit videos made to look like content for children (such as Peppa Pig animations), while one of its biggest stars, Logan Paul, once posted a video in which he posed next to a man who had killed himself. Elsewhere on the site, conspiracy theories proliferate. Researchers claim it is a place where far-right commentators, white supremacists and men’s rights activists have radicalised legions of young white men. Politicians are circling, concerned about how powerful tech companies have become and talking about breaking up the biggest.

No mention of the fuck load of Muslim terrorist, jihadist and Muslim authored anti-semitic propaganda and lectures that are still there and on why it is every virgin seeker's duty to kill everyone else. But lots on white people, as if they are the only problem.

She's a grade A cunt/bitch, however you look at it. There's a few videos of her telling youtube influencers and new up and coming content creators that she's going to "help" bump the subs up, and then less than a week following, that youtuber is front page trending and their socialblade is exploding, but their content is garbage.

I had no idea the BBC pidgin thing was real; I'd only seen it as screenshots before. What a fucking disgrace. How progressve. Brits, your taxes or TV loicense fees or whatever else end up paying for the creation of this shit. Shouldn't the BBC do something like, I dunno, promote the spread of fancy proper literate UK English?

Unless I'm missing the dry Brit humor here. That happens sometimes. I get that international news is supposed to be read by people across the world, in different languages. But this just seems stupid.
