[Blacklabcollective] Halloween poster

[Eris Nyx]

I don't honestly think this poster is a real problem... But I think we sit on polar opposite sides of this discussion Megan. Are we seriously supposed to ban anything that might hint at something offensive? Did the racist skinheads who set that person on fire wear jack-o-lanterns on their heads? Did they wear white jeans? I like kind of doubt it. Are we supposed to ban anything with vaguely skinhead aesthetics? I don't like skinheads and think they look stupid, but seriously? And IMHO it's hard to distinguish which people are Nazi's generally from the general populace?

That's Gabe, she's very rad. I dunno, I don't think it's ridiculous necessarily, I think because I know Laura, I know she wouldn't have put nazi skins on a black lab poster, but I guess that's my main issue w skinheads irl-- I find it hard sometimes to distinguish which ones are Nazis vs which ones are regs, esp cause a lot of non full on racist skins still wear vaguely nationalist imagery n stuff... I guess white laces are def nazi skin style too so there is that.

Okay so I kind of can't help but think think this is pretty ridiculous but apparently someone is quite upset with our Halloween poster. I took a couple screen shots last night when juls brought it to my attention but she has since taken the post down with just that third screen shot that she sent me. Collective thoughts?
