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."

The pretentious mush mouthed pseudo-intellectual waffle of modern wokeshit never fails to be absolutely fucking insufferable. Its obvious why this is done, as vomiting out essay length buzzword filled descriptions of the smallest and pettiest and most unimportant shit imaginable is an easy and cheap way of virtue signalling in both social and professional contexts, and you can be assured that anybody who engages in this horseshit is an absolutely worthless specimen looking only to improve their own personal image and standing.

First of all, apt wear to steal the white guilt sign. Apes deserve more support in the stance against ape-killings.

"Silence is compliance" is what gets me. No it's fucking not. We would be out there yelling in your face that we don't give a shit but we don't want to deal with the lynch mob. Silence is many things, usually because we don't want to deal with mush-mouthed motherfuckers who are the activist equivalent to a white feminist on facebook. No one needs to start a conversation, brainwash your own damn kids.

Speaking up is oppression.
 
"We're just trying to start a conversation!"

That's bullshit because when anyone replies to anything they say they hit them with a bike lock, try to get them fired, and try to get the bank to close their account. How the fuck can you walk around telling people that you just want to open a dialogue if even so much as a single word of disagreement provokes a violent and irrational reaction.

You don't want a fucking conversation, you want to act morally superiour without having to do anything, and you are not the slightest fucking bit interested in any opinion that even vaguely dissents from your own. If I walk around in public with a red hat on, I'm not worried about someone trying to start an unprovoked conversation with me, I'm worried about some lunatic chimping the fuck out and trying to hit me over the head with the nearest blunt object because the media's conditioned them to be a violent, irrational animal.

I hate that stuff like this is considered newsworthy. “Someone stole a sign, oh no!”

Not that I hate that it happened, just the tone of the article.

Is it wrong to say that I don't care? I'd say teens will be teens, but...

At least the house wasn't vandalized.

Some people just talk a little rougher, you little baby.

Any conversation that doesn't have a couple of deaths is a dour affair.
