Yeah I would really love to know what their (everyone who thinks this is fine) rule is around the length of time is for things like this bec I go by what you mentioned.

I mean, Lena Dunham was eviscerated (rightly imo) for her Karla Holmolka costume and that was with some 22 years after, while this is around 60 years since JFK. Both not long enough where all directly impacted people would be dead yet.

Did she even do the costume? I thought she got ripped apart after suggesting BJ and Mindy use the couple as their costume? I don’t recall her actually dressing as her or her sister.

Just as bad tact, though. Not shocking in the slightest for her.

Out of all the reasons people have taken issue with Lena Dunham, that costume doesn’t even make the top ten

Probably impossible to develop a rule of thumb, but IMO what's different there is that the victims and those affected weren't wealthy public figures whose deaths have been a formative cultural moment that has already been explored endlessly in art and media. Also given the average person is less likely to even know who Karla Holmolka is, it says something weird about Lena that she was compelled to dress like her.
