Why do people hate costumes?

MissUtilis

Adults who like to wear costumes are often ridiculed. This despite it being one of the fun things about football. This despite it being most of the appeal of Halloween.

What's so bad about slipping into a guise?

Nothing.

You're doing that thing again where you make broad, sweeping generalizations in a way that doesn't make a lot of sense.

Lots of people enjoy costumes.

While you're here and posting on this site, I've gotta give you some advice:  Joker's a creepy evil badman who is just using you, and Batman will stop punching you in the face if you stop helping the Joker.

because pretending to be someone else is something that only children and actors do and at some point you gotta grow up

adults always act like they're happy when they're not.

how is that pretending somehow different to actors and children?

children pretend to be others because it makes them happy.

adults pretend to be happy because...I don't know

Granted, there was more off about him than being a furry.

Well, I don't think it's considered "normal" for adults to want to dress up in costumes, unless it's a special occasion like Halloween.

But I don't know any adults so whatever

Oh shit I assumed we were talking purely in the context of Halloween. Never mind, carry on.

So I was browsing Facebook and saw a news article: Young woman dresses up as poop emoji to ask out a guy to homecoming.

MissUtilis

when did this become the horrible costume thread

Imipolex G

that is great and I approve

For what it's worth, I have several adult friends that are into cosplay and nobody thinks they're weird for it.  They just kind of do it in places or situations where people expect costumes to show up.
