 Why does it seem like every single thing people enjoy has to be “called out” now as harmful in some way? Costumes are racist, fireworks upset the animals and trigger PTSD, Halloween decorations kill the wildlife. No one ever seems to have fun alternatives to suggest (heaven forfend the delicate crowd stoop to earplugs on July 4th!), it’s just “everything you like is actually bad because XYZ.”

I swear someone gets a kick out of it.
