Appropriate Halloween Costume?
 
What says you Planeteers? It's halloween and this is how someone I know let their 13 year old dress up to go trick or treating. I personally don't like it, but understand freedom of expression, however this young man is 13 years old.

Would you let it be or try to talk him out of it, how and why?

ModSocks 11-01-2012 10:37 AM

That's it? Really?

REALLY?

I think it's hilarious and he coulda been something far worse im sure.

gblowfish 11-01-2012 10:39 AM

It's unbelievably inappropriate. That's what makes it great for Halloween.

tooge 11-01-2012 10:40 AM

It's totally inappropriate. There should be a bullet hole in the forehead to make it appropriate

maybe if he was impersonating a dead terrorist....

ModSocks 11-01-2012 10:45 AM

Just out of curiosity, what would you consider an appropriate costume for a pre-teen boy? Particularly a costume that the boy would actually WANT to wear?

I mean, what's the difference between dressing up as a terrorist vs dressing up as a serial killer? At least the terrorist is funny and somewhat original for a kid.

luv 11-01-2012 10:46 AM

Not for a 13 year old, IMO.

KCUnited 11-01-2012 10:46 AM

I bet hezbollah candy was overflowing after trick r treating in that costume.

Do you know what Ed Gein said about dressing up like a terrorist for Halloween?

13.

As in...about to start HS. This is when these kids start to develop this kind of sense of humor.

@ 18 years people are dressing up far more "inappropriate" than this.

One of my points was, a zombie, vampire, ghost, or other fictional character didn't actually kill anyone, and much better ideas. And the bomber terrorist costumes have been on the top ten offensive list for a few years now, along with hitler and dead JFK and black face anyone. So, not really original either.

I know, that's my point. 13 and pregnant equals parents responsible, 13 and stealing equals parents responsible. That all changes when you turn 18. I feel similar about this costume. If he was 18, I could disagree but not have a say, as a responsible adult in his young life, I feel an important lesson should be taught about this choice.

13 year old pre teen boys are far more interested in being something funny. They're not interested in being something that their parents have been dressing them up as for the past 8+ years.

Ghost? Zombie? Vampire?

What is this, 1982?

We can make fun of terrorists in our cartoons, comics and in our daily lives. We can hate them, kill them, and racially profile muslims in this country yet we expect our pre-teens to not pick up on that?

The kid is wearing the costume as a satire. He's making fun of terrorists just like the rest of the world is.

Bowser 11-01-2012 10:58 AM

Inappropriate if he went to a church lock in Halloween party, I suppose.

That it's ok to dress up as a blood bathed serial killer running around with a hockey mask and a knife, but not ok to strap fake dynamite to your chest and wear a beard?

You REALLY underestimate 13 year old's. He's 1 year away from starting HS, if he doesn't know what a satire is then his school system has failed him.

If you're only gripe with this is that it shouldn't be worn because YOU find it offensive, then that's not good enough.

Bowser 11-01-2012 11:06 AM

Would it have been better if the kid went as one of those two-in-one costumes where he's on the receiving end of having suprise buttsecks with a priest?

It's Halloween.

It's the one day where dressing up like something like this is perfectly acceptable.

tooge 11-01-2012 11:07 AM

hence, it is offensive to you. I guess someone dressed as a dead girl might be offensive to someone who lost their daughter, someone dressed as a guy with a knife through their head might be offensive to someone that lost a friend to a murder where they were stabbed in the head, etc. There are plenty of "offensive" costumes out there, it is all relative as to who is offended by it and why.

Bingo! that isn't offensive to me, its hillarious. It is probably offensive to some candlelighter that took it in the shorts though.

yeah, zombies and vampires are so out dated.... what ever. Hey, I agree Achmed the dead terrorist makes fun of suicide bombers, but this costume isn't, just my opinion anyway. What if he knocked on a muslim's door? I don't know. 18 or over going to a friend's party, sure - knock yourself out, be "controversial and edgy". 13 isn't the age to make a political statement.

Jason is a fictional character and more outdated than zombies. Would it be ok for a 13 year old to trick-or-treat as hitler? A Nazi with a burnt up jew in a trash bag? Put on black face and be a zombie MLK?

Like I said, it doesn't bother me. But it wouldn't surprise me if someone answered a door and said something negative to the kid either.
I mean, he's wearing it for a reaction, I assume. So if he gets a negative reaction then that's part of it.

suds79 11-01-2012 11:10 AM

Feel like I should clarify because earlier I said "No. Not for a kid"

What I really meant is I wouldn't want my kid wearing it.

Am I offended? No. But I'll let someone else's 13 year old kid wear it.

Yes, Zombies and Vampires are dated. It's the most cliched costume available. Kids have been doing it for generations. We should take a poll to see who HASN'T been a vampire or zombie.

I gotta ask, how old are you? You sound like a grand parent.

What if he knocked on a Muslims door?

Well, he's dressed as a terrorist. Not a Muslim. Last time i checked, American Muslims don't think of themselves as terrorists and do everything they can to seperate themselves from them. So why exactly would they be offended?

You know what i was for halloween? White trash.

I had a mullet, mustard stained tee and cans of budweiser strapped to my belt.

Does that offend white people?

crazycoffey 11-01-2012 11:13 AM

maybe a better question for some of us chiefs fans, would you let your son dress up as a Raider's fan, with face paint and shoulder pads? Would you walk around your neighborhood trick-or-treating with him? LOL

You have some close issues with people dying from terrorists and you don't want your son dressed up as one.

Dude.....That is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

I think it's more about he doesn't want to see his son dressed up as someone who's taken the life of a friend or someone close. I can see how that can touch a nerve.

no, I know she's a good mom. I don't think she did to purposely offend me nor did he. But when I brought it up the first reactions I got were, "get a life" from her, the step dad (we really ended up getting into it) and some of their friends.

I rarely say anything about some of the parenting issues I disagree with, but I would like to think my opinion would matter a little more when I do. Again, I know at the end of the day she's a good mom and he's a good kid. But I still feel a knot in my stomach over the picture.

Then outside of being sexually inappropriate then a costume is just a costume regardless of age?

So in other words if next year I want to dress up my 3 year old daughter as this it's perfectly fine?

3 does not = 13.

He is 13. He is technically a teenager.

Is this appropriate for a teenager?

You're damn right it is.

This is the type of shit that teenagers wear.

God, pc pussies crying about that? Do they emit the same outrage over dressing up as military members? They kill people too. Do they bitch about the video games they buy the same 13yo?



If the kid is old enough to understand why it is humorous/ironic for halloween he is old enough to wear it. Just think 30years ago kids dressing up as kiss got similar outrage.

So you would agree with me that there is a difference in age. We're on the same page then. My point was to that poster who was saying age doesn't matter. I disagreed.

I'm not arguing that it's inappropriate. I've made my case that I simply would not let my 13 year old kid wear it. If you would? Fine.

Times have changed. You gotta adjust.

General consensus seems to be okayish for grown ups, not so for 13. I'd agree. Kids are assholes enough as it is, surely they can stand Batman or Wolverine for another few years. Once you get to college and take an intro-level religious studies course, then you'll be sensitive enough and wise to the world to break out that costume. Surely.

Would you let it be or try to talk him out of it, how and why?

Tricky to say what is or isn't "appropriate," but I'd say it is a very safe bet that the kid who wants to wear that is going to grow up to be a d-bag a-hole.

If the kid is old enough to understand why it is humorous/ironic for halloween he is old enough to wear it. Just think 30years ago kids dressing up as kiss got similar outrage.

So, you're equating dressing up as what appears to be a Middle East Islamic suicide bomber with dressing up as:

1. US military
2. Gene Simmons

OK, good post.
