Please, I Am Begging You, Do Not Wear Anything Even CLOSE To These 16 Halloween Costumes
After the long, eventful 2021 we've had, you *might* be thinking, hey, it would be super funny to go as something from the last year or so!
Family Channel
And if you'er talking about, say, Black Widow or Beth from Queen's Gambit, sure! But...if you're thinking of going as any of the below, please, I am BEGGING you, reconsider.

1.Like...PLEASE do not go as a Capitol insurrectionist.
I can't even believe that was this year, but it was.
2.Honestly, don't go as the police, either.
Or God forbid, riot police.
3.If you think it'd be funny to dress as Donald Trump, the joke's on you.
We don't want to see him this year.
4.Ditto goes for Mike Pence, even with the fly on his head.
This was funny for a quick photo last year, but not this year. Listen, we don't want to see Mike Pence. We don't want to think about him. We don't even want to think of the fly that did God's work that night.
5.I want to think we as a people are better than dressing as COVID, but the costume exists, so I believe I may have once again thought too highly of the human race.
It's happened a lot this year.
6.Let's not go as the vaccine either, OK?
At least the vaccine is a good thing, but going as it sort of suggests it's scary, and...well, let's not spread misinformation.
7.Look, I get the urge to go as an anti-vaxxer, I really do. They are scary. But maybe don't joke about things that have caused death.
8.And ESPECIALLY don't go as an anti-vaxxer with a dead child. I don't think I should have to say this.
Love the general "get vaccinated" statement, hate the venue for it. As a rule, it's best not to make jokes about dead children.
9.I know it's tempting to make fun of people taking Ivermectin, but...let's leave the horse drug and its shitty side effects out of Halloween this year, fellas.
10.Hand sanitizer may seem like an innocent costume, but I feel like it's best to stay away from anything that'll make people think of COVID.
11.Don't be a Karen. Not even for Halloween.
and the scariest costume goes to…
12.Let's leave nurses alone this year, OK?
Show some respect.
13.If you go as sexy Ruth Bader Ginsburg...even I can't help you.
This isn't the way to honor her.
14.Honestly, it's not a bad idea to avoid Harry Potter-themed costumes this year.
And I CERTAINLY don't want to see anyone going as JKR.
15.I'm cool with Squid Game costumes, but going as a sexy Squid Game guard just feels wrong.
Squid Game feels a little too topical...going as a sexy version of guards who murder desperate indebted citizens as part of a game feels slightly in poor taste.
16.And finally, please, for the love of God, stay away from anything to do with Armie Hammer.
I don't want to see any cannibal-themed Armie costumes this year. I don't think I need to say anything beyond that.
