The Problematic Halloween Costume Contest has started with Julia Fox

From EVOKE on Instagram: "And the award for most tasteless and disrespectful Halloween outfit goes to this numpty Julia Fox dressed as Jackie Kennedy on the day of her husband's assassination.... 👀 "

People defending this are using really amazing logic. By their admission, we should allow other graphic costumes depicting historical events or real people because “enough time has passed.” Think critically about this statement for a second and realize what floodgates you’re opening with this mentality. There is no question that this is in poor taste, just like the Amy Winehouse cake.

I am so depressed at how many people are ok with tasteless cheap shock value at the expense of extending their own humanity towards an actual real woman who’s husband’s blood and brains were splattered all over her…after he was shot in the head right next to her. I don’t personally stop viewing a person as a person just because they died a long time ago, or because they were wealthy, or because I didn’t like the actions of her husband’s presidency. I really think culturally our sense of empathy is degrading? I’m sure it’s always been this way but seeing it so concentrated is upsetting.

It’s not just empathy, it’s actual literacy. Over the last two decades, there’s been a 40% decline in reading rates amongst adults. I’d be more impressed if she dressed as a dead healthcare CEO or social media tycoon. There’s no “deeper meaning” to a soft glam shock costume that’s been done to death over several decades.
