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."

Yeah, why would people think Asian people eat cats? That’s racists and ignores their lovely cultural heritage of eating cats.

I'm more surprised they didn't use a dog instead. Typical crazy cat ladies.

I hope to see many movies, museums, special hour classes and books dedicated to this tragedy.

I thought it was pretty funny. I hate tiktok for the fact that it exists, sure, but this shit was reminiscent of Vines and I really miss those.

People should be more outraged they used that shitty Mariah Carey song.

Seriously, there are loads of better Christmas songs out there.

"Forget the implications of animal cruelty that involves, hurting the slants fee-fees is the real issue here!"

I know, right? Chinks aren't people, they're insects.

I own, like, a bunch of cats and I think this video is hilarious. Cats probably taste like chicken..

I ate rabbit once. It was delicious.

Guess what east asians think of people that eat rabbits.

I know, right? Chinks aren't people, they're insects.

Does this mean we should be eating them? Greta said so.

 

[edboy]

If the Tiktok vid was slamming the Asians that eat cats/dogs for traditional purposes you know these basic bitches would've been all over it.

 

[FierceBrosnan]

Motherfuckers just HowToBasic'd a cat. I laughed, my Asian coworkers laughed, this is a non issue.

Emir’s fashion designer son, 39, dies after cocaine and sex drug binge at luxury Knightsbridge flat
A fashion designer and United Arab Emirates prince died after a cocaine and sex drug binge in his $15 million London flat, an inquest heard.

An Arab prince died after a cocaine and sex drug binge in his £8 million ($A15 million) London apartment, an inquest heard.

Sheik Khalid bin Sultan Al Qasimi, 39, the fashion designer son of the ruler of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates, had been partying with a man called Yohan Escobar at the luxury home in Knightsbridge, The Sun reported.
The UAE prince, owner of British-based fashion label Qasimi, was found dead by a cleaner on July 1 this year.
She originally believed he was sleeping but was horrified when she touched his neck and realised he was freezing cold.
The inquest heard she yelled out “Dial 999! He is dead. He is dead” but paramedics couldn’t save him and he was declared dead at the scene.
Toxicology tests revealed Khalid had high levels of GHB and “recreational” amounts of cocaine in his system.
A post-mortem gave the cause of death as drug toxicity, the inquest heard.

TRAGIC DEATH
Detective Sergeant Adrian De Villiers told the hearing Khalid had been partying with Mr Escobar on the night before his death.

Mr Escobar, who was not a suspect in his death, believed Khalid was asleep when he left the flat as he heard the designer snoring.
The officer said: “There is no suggestion of anybody acting in a way to give or make Khalid take these drugs.”
Khalid’s family, including his twin sister, were said to be heartbroken by the death of a man described as “on top of his career and on top of the world”.
PASSION FOR FASHION
A statement read to the court revealed Khalid’s passion for “creating” grew when he moved from Sharjah to England at the age of nine.
It added: “Khalid was passionate about social causes, especially the plight of refugees. He believed strongly that these issues could benefit from the platform he could provide.

“With courage and focus, he infused his design work with these important subjects. Khalid was obsessive about the soul and quality of his creations and, on their journey from the sketchpad to the runway, they carried with them a call to action.”
Coroner Bernard Richmond QC gave a verdict of drugs-related death at Westminster Coroners’ Court.
Khalid’s dad Sheik Dr Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi has ruled Sharjah since 1972.
The ruler’s eldest son from his first marriage, Sheik Mohammed bin Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, died of a drug overdose aged 24 in 1999 at the family’s home in Sussex.

I'm old and even when I was a kid people were joking about stray dogs and cats ending up as food in the Chinese restaurant. Surely Asians have grown a thick skin over that one by now. Besides, a lot of Asians are racist af themselves, so they can't really complain.

It's not even an Asian that's offended. As usual it's a fat white girl.

In the now-deleted video, a live cat is placed in an oven with the caption “Recipe Leaked”. The oven is then turned on at 485°F.

That is outrageous! You'll spoil the meat at that temperature! Low and slow, zoomer scum!

GBH is a popular drug among gays due to the hypnotic-like state you can enter if you balance things right. It is very dangerous to mix with anything else, mixing it with coke is practically an intentional suicide.

Why would Panda Express hire out TikTok creators and not instead make their own commercial of a real live Giant Panda eating a housecat?
