Yet nobody has anything to say about kids running around like Genghis Khan, Vlad the Impaler, or one of the DPRK's Kims.Nobody is saying this kid and his mom is a literal Nazi. I'm saying it is an inappropriate and offensive costume to wear for a children's holiday, and for a child to wear. There is no context where this would be an acceptable costume for a child to wear.
A person that thinks that wearing a Nazi costume is acceptable, and that it wouldn't offend people is a moron. Would a kid dressing up as an ISIS member carrying around a fake severed head be okay? Obviously I don't think that kid is literally an ISIS member--but it is an offesnive and insensitive thing to wear. Some things are not going to be found 'funny' by most people.
In the case of the Nazi costume though, there ARE actual people in America that do consdier themselves Nazis. So to dress your kid up as one, or for you, yourself to dress up as one, you can't then go "why do people think i might be a Nazi?"
There's only 2 options, you're either a Nazi, or you're a moron for dressing your kid up as one.
This argument collapses in a vacuum of inconsistency. Why is Hitler special among the monsters?
