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."

Recently, feminism has taken a hit. Guys you thought you could count on, like Louis CK or Senator Al Franken, have proven to be huge disappointments. We thought because they talked the talk that they could walk the walk. There’s more to being a male ally than just words. It takes action. Real action. Voting for Hillary is easy. Asking women on Twitter if they’re ok is easy. You know what’s not easy, especially for us guys that just want to help get the message of feminism out there? Abstaining from harassing women. Which brings me to my point. We male feminists need to get laid more.

Look, no one wants to end male oppression of women more than male allies. Just ask us. But how are we supposed to help women when we’re being sidelined with blue balls? I want to be out there with you, marching for equality, showing our Misogynist-In-Chief Donald Trump that we aren’t afraid and we will never back down. But I have needs, you know? How am I supposed to campaign for women’s rights when the very same women I’m trying to help refuse to give me sex? Is that equality?

Don’t get me wrong. I respect women. I respect your independence, I respect your agency, and I respect your body. The feminine form is one of pure beauty and warmth, so don’t you think you’re being a little selfish when you refuse to have sex with me, even after I gave you a ride to the pro choice rally? It’s not my fault anyway. I just find passionate, intelligent women to be very sexy. I’m not like those pigs who only want women for sex, I want to amplify female voices. I just think we’d be more united as a movement if you ladies weren’t so uptight about me trying to kiss you on the way back from a Planned Parenthood fundraiser. I’m already on your side. What are you trying to prove?

Men like me are extremely valuable to feminism. You need me on your side. When I’m at a bar with the guys and someone makes a sexist remark, I’m the first and loudest one to remind them that’s not ok. I’ve lost male friendships sticking up for women and if given the chance, I’d do it all over again. Isn’t that worth a little sugar? I think I’m being pretty reasonable here. If feminists want to keep men like me on the front lines fighting for your equality, the least you could do is throw me a pity fuck once in a while.

This is the genderswapped version of "women are irresponsible and behave erratically due to their uterus".
 
When satire is no longer distinguishable from actual party line, your movement is pretty much dead in the mainstream. Though whoever wrote that wasn't nearly subtle enough to pull it off.

Yet another reason why gay marriage worked and no progressive movement since has, it was run in a sane manner so that those who tried to destroy it with hyperbole about pedophilia, kidnapping and secret agendas to put every good Christian in a straight death camp couldn't get traction because the claims looked silly and overblown.
 
not sure if fake news

It's africa, so I'd say likely not fake. They have an unshakeable belief in magical curses and unlikely remedies.

In a related topic, I'd give my left nut to be a witch doctor and get to tell people to fuck a crocodile else they're cursed with impotence. You could, quite literally, get away with anything and if anyone questions you, tell them their cock will fall off and they'll instantly fall in line.
 
American expat living in South Korea triggered by racist chicken restaurant. The place is called Blackies!:lol:

https://www.koreaexpose.com/korean-chicken-blackie-racism/



Take a good look at the first half of that last paragraph.



Being guilty of thoughtcrime is bad enough here. I know Koreans can be racist. But if they are in their own country they don't have to abide by the rules of tourists and expats from other countries. Sure it could become a problem if they get more immigrants. But when you move to a new country you have to expect that people are going to have different sensibilities and you are going to learn to have to live with it.

It's bad enough that every Kpop star is constantly scrutinized by western fans for cultural appropriation of American black culture. I posted about this here before. A Kpop artist being slammed for cultural appropriation by American fans. It's amazing how one minute he's your Korean husbando and the next he's racist for having the wrong hair and clothes. There was another Kpop artist who did a video where he's in an asylum. I can't remember what it was called. But again, it triggered some Tumblr kids with self diagnoses and they ranted about it for weeks.

Now this definitely is racist to most modern day Americans:

I don't buy that it's supposed to be inspired by Dooli the dinosaur or a black chicken. It's obviously based on old time cartoons of black people. The ones that are banned from TV. But racist or not, it's stupid for Americans to try to tell people in other countries what is and isn't allowed to be used as a mascot because feelings. Why not use that energy to raise awareness of human rights violations instead of little Black Sambo selling you chicken? South Korea is mainly made up of South Koreans and is very insular. So they aren't going to see this mascot, be triggered and immediately storm social media demanding the the owner kill himself. BLM isn't going to have a riot over it. Yeah it's racist. To westerners. If the owner wants to change it he can. But he doesn't have to. Because I doubt there's much pressure in Korea to do so.

The comments here are priceless by the way: https://nextshark.com/racist-south-korean-restaurant-racist-dont-even-know-racist/

I don't think they'll change it, unless some SJWtard whines (they do have them in SK) or the worst people I've encountered - American raised/educated Koreans - the blasians may complain. There's a very vocal one on Twitter who I used to enjoy fucking with on occasion. I'm sure he's upset about this.

Though, to be fair there was that Sam Okyere whatever it's name is guy waaaahing coz "Don't call me black hyung". So there's pressure to stop being racist, but I don't honestly think you will change asians from not liking nignogs. It's in our DNA.

We seriously need a KPOP Autism thread tho.

I would absolutely fucking love a hamburger joint that has the most offensive white people stereotypes, done by Asians. I would plan a vacation around it if it was also someplace (country-wise) I could also see lots of naked women and gamble.
I figure they think we're all obese cowboys that give everybody the electric chair, and the cowboys execute people in cowboy dress attire complete with a gaudy guitar strapped onto their back.
Sorta like a military version of fat Elvis. Shit, that would be awesome.

No shit, sherlock.

They gotta serve buffalo. If you had bare midriff Pocohotas outfit types and muscley dudes dressed like Tonto I think the eyecandy might sway the sjws to maybe lighten the fuck up.
