Hitler and Halloween: Appropriate?
POLL: Hitler/Nazi Costume: Acceptable?
 No, outrage. Tasteless.
 Yes, he's horrific and Halloween is supposed to be scary
 Maybe, depends on your peers.

Was thinking about Hitler yesterday in the shower, and with Halloween coming up...is it appropriate to be a Nazi or Hitler for Halloween?

(That was a joke...I don't shower.)

If no, why not?

If Hitler/Nazis were atrocious as we all agree, doesn't it do to remind ourselves of those horrors so that we don't repeat them?

Isn't Hitler the scariest man to have lived, with his atrocities?

If we say it's inappropriate or tasteless, why? Offensive? Should we not be offended by other common Halloween costumes and what they represent, even if they are fictitious?

Is it okay for a Jewish person to dress as a Nazi for shock/joke value?

Curious how this morally shakes out amongst GLPers.

I'd say we're still about another 50 years away from a Hitler costume being ironically funny.

For comedy, yeah. I'm not sure it will ever be ironically funny unless you're Jewish. Maybe super-meta if you're a Blonde German Liberal.

Regular Goy? I'm going for scary/shock acceptable even amongst mixed company.
