Please, I Am Literally On My Knees Begging You — Do Not Wear Any Of These Halloween Costumes This Year

I don't want to see the dead Queen of England, Putin, or anything related to monkeypox. I just don't.

Halloween is a fun time to dress up as whoever and whatever you want! Within reason, that is.

You got a whole world of costumes out there to sport. Just...please avoid the ones below, 'kay? I am begging you.

1. Resist the urge to go as Robert Oppenheimer.

Yes, Cillian Murphy looked great in his 1940s style suit in Oppenheimer, but the real Oppenheimer's creation of the atom bomb killed tens of thousands.

2. Please don't go as the Queen. No matter how you feel about her, it's too soon.

And ESPECIALLY don't go as a dead or zombie version of the Queen.

3. Don't go as COVID. Just don't. I don't think I should have to say this.

4. Let's not go as the vaccine either, OK?

5. Look, I get the urge to go as an anti-vaxxer, I really do. They are scary. But maybe don't joke about things that have caused death.

6. And ESPECIALLY don't go as an anti-vaxxer with a dead child. I can't believe I just had to type that.

Love the general "get vaccinated" statement, hate the venue for it. As a rule, it's best not to make jokes about dead children.

7. Please don't go as anything related to monkeypox, either.

8. Or as any kind of plague doctor.

9. This goes for all years, but I have to mention it because somehow, it's still happening...don't go as a race. Like, please don't go as a racist caricature of a Mexican person.

10. And do NOT, under any circumstances, wear a Native American headdress.

E!

11. This should go without saying, but you should probably stay away from going as a character outside of your race. And if you do, do NOT try to change your skin color with makeup.

12. After all that's come out about Playboy this year...I'd stay away from going as a Playboy bunny. Especially if you're doing a group costume as Holly, Bridget, and Kendra.

13. Please don't go as anything related to the Will Smith Oscars slap.

ESPECIALLY if you are a white person.

14. And do not, I repeat do NOT, go as Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.

15. Don't go as anything related to Roe v. Wade or abortion.

23. Don't go as any kind of sexualized children's costume. Like a sexy minion.

24. And finally...can we finally retire the sexy schoolgirl outfit? Like, please?
