认为万圣节服装不必怪异吗？

66

My daughter had been a bumblebee, a Dalmatian and batgirl! I agree it's fine for them to dress up as non scary

艺妓并不是真正合适的万圣节服装 - 另一种文化不是服装。

That said, do what you like re spooky or non spooky. I’ve always assumed costumes are supposed to be spooky given the origins of Halloween, but there’s no law saying you have to do the same.

如果您想要万圣节主题但不要怪异的人去南瓜之类的东西。

我讨厌看到孩子们打扮成Elsa等。万圣节应该很恐怖！

而且，僵尸艺妓也很冒犯。我的文化不是你的化装。

I've always known them to be spooky costumes. I agree that pumpkin is the best option for very small kids. I don't like the majorly gory costumes though, or the 'sexy'那些。

猫对非怪异有益

Fancy dress is fancy dress, you can dress as whatever you like.

Halloween is All Hallows’ eve and it is scary only.

如果您要举行万圣节聚会或进行捣蛋或治疗，那只会很恐怖。

If you are having a fancy dress party and it happens to be Halloween you can wear whatever you like.

You still see loads of costumes that aren’t spooky. I’ve not noticed any change in that respect.

尽管今天的许多人都无法接受地艺ish服装（僵尸或其他方式）。

我只见过可怕的服装或南瓜。

它不必怪异 - 我小时候从来没有任何怪异的服装。那是在爱尔兰 - 传统源于掩饰自己的想法，因此精神，pookas和各种食尸鬼不会认识您。现在，商店中成人的大多数服装确实是怪异的性工作者品种，不确定古老的爱尔兰食尸鬼会做什么

I always find people/kids dressed in general fancy dress costumes a bit strange at Halloween- it's like they just don't quite get it!!

The historical basis of “guising”, I think, come from an old Celtic transition of dressing to impersonate the spirits (Aos si) - who would enter the living world and were appeased with food and drink; impersonating them meant that one could receive the food and drink on their behalf. So traditionally, a Hallowe’en costume should be spooky - but later traditions, both in the UK and the US are for dressing up in any kind of masquerade or disguise, so it’s all good and do whatever you like.

I went to Japan and had a makeover by Japanese women as a geisha, photo shoot etc and walked around lots of Japanese people wanted to take photos of me and said I looked beautiful. No one was offended, especially my Japanese relative who arranged it. Lots of foreigners can do this experience. What’s the big deal?

如果您认真对待它并穿着完整的和服打扮，并且实际上学到了一些关于其背后的文化的知识。

当您描述LuckyAmy和打扮成不死版本时，尊重参与文化是有区别的。

I still wouldn’t personally find that acceptable LuckyAmy, but in any case participating in something like that in Japan with Japanese people who were sharing their culture and teaching you something about it is very different to putting on a silk dressing gown and acting out a stereotype with no real understanding of the history and meaning behind it.

Growing up in Ireland we always dressed as witches, ghosts or monsters, that was the whole point. If wearing a geisha costume is cultural appropriation then surely celebrating Halloween is too?

Halloween is supposed to be spooky ( note SPOOKY not slasher crap) so witches, ghosts, black cats, etc.
大多数美国人似乎都放弃了有关服装的这一方面，只是像他们喜欢的那样走了。
I disapprove personally, as I do of the ridiculous gore some people favour which has nothing to do with Halloween; but he's your child, dress him how you like. And how he likes.
Happy Halloween

If wearing a geisha costume is cultural appropriation then surely celebrating Halloween is too?

Halloween is celebrated in lots of forms by lots of cultures so, unlike geishas, it’s a shared cultural tradition

DS is 2.5, he's going as a spider from Asda...their toddler costumes (spider, monster and witches) are cute rather than scary.

你的DSmight recognise ghost/spider/monster/witch...DS recognises and likes lots of 'spooky' things, mainly because of Ben and Holly.
(尽管害怕恐龙!)

But you have to be spooky if you don't want to, there's always lots of disney princess and batmans/supermans trick or treating.

Ok but the relatives friends there now send my daughter geisha outfits etc for her to dress up in here, just for play. I understand what you are all saying that’s it’s different there to here but a geisha outfit is dress up for most Japanese people too! The day I did it there were lots of Japanese girls doing it too and it was obviously a new and exciting experience for them. They proudly showed me pictures of lots of celebrities who had been there for the experience. I don’t know, I guess don’t see why it’s offensive.

我将近30岁，我要去穿着面具的万圣节演出。是的，黄色的Zoot西装！！诚然，我可能看起来很恐怖，但不会吓人

哦，那天我什么都没学，那纯粹是为了打扮！我从亚瑟·金皮书中知道我对艺妓的了解！

Racism is fine but spookiness isn't?Umm no.

And I can't bear the stream of little princesses that file past every time there is any fancy dress. Spooky is better than the uniform of femininity that seems to have taken over.

Who is being racist?!
