Seeing Jon Trudeau in brownface made me think of this question. (Though one subject doesn't really have anything to do with the other.)

What is acceptable nowadays?

Who the hell knows anymore? Someone might try to use something against you that you said in high school 30 years from now. They were supposedly too offended to say something then but are ready to say something now in their civil suit

Funny enough... I think at a costume party it might be a bit much, but for a Halloween party where people are dressed up as monsters it would be even worse since it would come off like a joke even stronger.

I think if you make a joke out of it, like dress up like blind Hitler and hold a sign that says "I did Nazi that coming" then you could get away with it. But it would have to be an obvious joke, and not a straightforward Hitler

Yeah if its obviously a joke I dont think its a problem.

Dont do it like that one guy that said it was a joke and then it turns out his uniform is 100% accurate and went through an effort to collect everything. That shitll bite you in the ass

Can somebody explain how dressing up like Hitler is supposed to be a joke? Like what setting do you walk in wearing a swastika on your arm and a little mustache and the resulting reaction is laughter?

Whats the punchline?

What I mean is if you dress up in a way that pokes fun at Hitler or Nazis.

I should also point out that I would never do this, just that I think someone who did might get a pass if they're making fun of Hitler in some way.

I went through a phase in my late teens and early twenties where I definitely thought offensive things were inherently funny

I personally dont feel that way now that Im a little older and wiser, but I imagine some people have that view

So, the hilarious joke that warrants dressing up as Hitler is a pun?

Since you have such evolved reading skills, was your laugh more of a chuckle or a chortle at that hilarity?

I never said it was hilarious, or even funny. Only that I think someone could avoid condemnation or backlash if they made a joke of it.

I think it depends on how it plays out.

If the person in costume made it obvious he was mocking Hitler/Nazi's in general, it would be fine. (Also that thing that was said about it being a 100% accurate costume or not.)

Of course it also depends on who is doing it. Just a regular guy? Should be ok. But someone known for being racist or otherwise questionable? That might raise some red flags.

How about dressing up as Hit from Dragon Ball Super dressed up as Lurr from Futurama sporting overgrown nosehairs that resemble a narrow mustache and black F! (or whatever you might want) on a white background with a red boarder on his sleeve?

This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. No, you would not get away with that. That's is still offensive

Some will definitely see it as offensive, where others will just see it as a joke...

Never said it wouldn't offend anyone.

Once again, since neither of you seem to have any reading comprehension: I think they could get a pass/get away with it/avoid backlash if they make a joke out of it.

The same could be said about you cause you think everyone is offended by the same thing you are. Not everyone gets offended over jokes...

If it were making fun of Hitler in some way, or showing that you clearly don't support his views, I think it'd probably be ok, depending on the crowd. Just plain straight Hitler, though, is probably a bad idea, ok?
