Halloween is approaching, so I thought I'd bring up something that happened to me in 2006 at still annoys me to this day.
That year I was the devil's anthropomorphic black cat. I had black angel wings and chains. It was also the first time I wore the black jacket people recognize me by. (my fursona wears it, too)
My friends and I were walking around the neighborhood. Trick-Or-Treating had just started, and it was still pretty bright outside. We were roleplaying as the characters we dressed up as, which makes it much more fun in my opinion. We started chatting about how Halloween is in our characters' points of view.
I began ranting about how Halloween is becoming less about frightening things and more about cuteness and candy, and how most kids dress as princesses and Spiderman more than vampires and other scary creatures. Then, in perfect timing, a couple and their little girl who was dressed as a witch(surprisingly) were walking towards us.
"We shouldn't be just handing out candy to children, we should be SCARING the children!", I shouted as they walked passed us.
At the word "Scaring", I had raised my hands into a monster-like stance while looking at the girl. She looked surprised and amused, but her mother started screaming at me like I tried to murder her. About an hour later at another house, they showed up again. The mother recognized me, and ran up to shout at me, "Please, don't scare my child again!"
Gah damn, it was Halloween! I wasn't even trying, and there are people who were seriously running around the neighborhood trying to scare little kids. If you really can't stand letting your kids get a little frightened and have fun, don't take them out on Halloween! Don't ruin it for the people who are in the Halloween spirit!
I know this happened a long time ago, but it still ticks me off. >w<;;
