This is a spin-off of the thread about pregnant women drawing attention to their bellies on Purim ...
I also thought “what are ppl thinking??” On Purim but it wasn’t about pregnant bellies... it was about all the costumes related to caronavirus... I get that sometimes we need a bit of comic relief in a crisis but I’m pretty blown away by the insensitivity towards those actually infected and especially towards those who lost loved ones that died from this illness ...
Would anyone make a Purim costume about cancer??? Why is this ok?

I felt the same way. It's very tacky.
Also I noticed some ladies in very attention getting costumes. Before I became religious Halloween was my jam. Best excuse to dress provocatively. I couldn't help but think these ladies would have gone all out for Halloween of they weren't religious.

I think the coronavirus costumes were not the most offensive.

I don't think so. In Belgium, they dress up as Jews with big noses at their yearly festivals. They continue to do so after they are told its offensive to us.
But we mustn't dress up as different minorities even if its without any offensive undertones like big body parts.

I think the jokes going around about Corona as well as the dress up, isn't meant to be offensive. Throughout the times we Jews have used black humor to get us thru. We learned to diffuse serious situations by making light of it.
This is not like cancer, or any other sickness. This is a sudden scare we are all having on a communal basis.

Oh good lord, OP this is black humor. Have you heard of it? People are poking fun at the very thing that is difficult to deal with or that is difficult in their lives at that moment.
Its like when Israelis joke about sirens, rockets, stabbings. They arent really making jokes, but its one of the ways of dealing with it. HUMOR!!!
Its not meant to be offensive at all.

They are intentionally trying to offend us in that case

So we must adopt the standards of the anti-Semites and apply it to our own behavior, which obligates us to be racist?

Why? Was it intended literally, with no sarcasm?

The Torah is against deliberately offending people.

And yet the older generations continue to be offended by our taking offence. Your post, for example.

I am not the older generation I am actually quite young
Also, I am not offended by you being offended, ain't no one got time for that. I just find it sad and rather stupid that we all get our 'knickers in a twist' because someone dressed up as something we didn't like
