How about some Halloween wank?
'Tis the season, after all. Grabbed from [info]wank_report

In the "craftgrrl" community, hamburgerhop makes a post asking for advice about her costume idea. People on the internet being intelligent, kind, civil individuals, respond that it is tasteless but provide the relevant information and then ignore it. Right?

First comment says....no.

Some highlights from the rest of the thread:

Person: You're an ass. Other person: Hey, about about some constructive criticism instead of name-calling? In the same thread: I was an addict and it's not worth sympathy, p.s. random race reference

Person: Not funny! OP: I know and don't care!

Person: Hey SF_drama. Other person: LOL GET A LIFE

Wank from a, sadly, deleted comment.

Why bother with PC? It's halloween!

Person: It's a parent's worst nightmare! Other person: So's being goth!

Various other miniwanks throughout the comments. Remarkably, the mod is chill with it.

Oh, and just for that little dollop of meta: name-calling in the wank report. It's cool, kids, I got this one.

edited because I can spell. Really. I swar.

Some people really have nothing better to do than wank on the internet. Le sigh.

At least there was some funny in the post.

Because Halloween has always been about PC and good taste. That's why 90% of the costumes at Halloween USA and Spirit Halloween make women out to look like whores and the rest are caricatures of politic figures and a priest costume has a penis you could inflate with a hand pump.

Not saying it's not offensive but most of what we wear on Halloween is offensive to someone.

I love the additional [info]wank_report bit at the bottom there. It's like finding the prize in my cereal box.

Is it wrong/offensive to go as Ashley Todd for Halloween? Never mind that I don't live in America, but I happened to get hit in the face earlier this week and figure I could make some use of it.

"What's the difference with this post and other posts posting/asking about Halloween costumes?
Lighten up."

Why not go out as an anorexic or cancer patient? Making fun of something that has a good chance of killing someone is where it stops being funny.


So if I dress up as the wolfman, does this mean I'm making fun of people with Hypertrichosis?

Oh FFS, people were dressing up as suicide bombers at the Halloween right after 9/11. Tastless and horrible costumes are kinda the POINT.

I mean, hell, lots of people in my family have problems with mental illness, but I would totally dress up in a straight-jacket costume if my country even BOTHERED to celebrate this holiday. *bitter*

...well, crap, now I'm part of the wank. D: I won't post in the w_r thread anymore, I promise! (Didn't see this until after. D'oh.)

i'm sure if you go as a smack addict, you'll get enough people to punch out your teeth to border on a speedballer aswell. happy halloween!

I am I wrong in thinking that no one who sees a costume like this in real life is very likely to find it offensive? It's like when someone mentioned something on the internet, the defensiveness of everyone goes up about ten times.

My favourite part is "Going as a heroin addict is right up there with going in blackface." I got Godwin's Law down, but what's the Law that dictates that racism will enter into an internet argument, anywhere, anyhow, without fail?

Dude, is anyone else totally squicked out by how everyone is all, "LULZ, use a fake needle! Yuk yuk yuk." I'm sorry, but seeing "needles" in skin... is like the biggest squick for me EVER. (There is a reason why Trainspotting was probably one of the worst movies for me to watch and why I STILL won't watch Requiem for a Dream) I think I'm bothered more by that than the costume itself. *shudders*

"Does anyone have any idea on what to do to make it obvious what we are besides pale faces, sunken in eyes and track marks?"

How is that different from being a zombie? I mean, really, if I saw someone dressed like that at a Halloween party, I'd think 'aha, someone is dressed as a zombie but didn't have time/money to get fake bloody!'

Wow. Where do these people have celebrated Halloween for all their life? Going as a drug addict is hardly new and not more offensive than going has a chainsaw victim. Jesus Christ people.
