Squid Game Costumes Banned In New York Due To “Violence Concerns”
SQUID GAME BANNED â Authorities of New York City banned people from wearing “Squid Game” costumes fearing people might get violent.
Recently, the workers union of South Korea, over 80,000 strong, rallied and called for better working environments wearing the show’s costumes. Now, New York seemed to have caught wind of Squid Game’s influence and has outright banned it for Holloween.
Obviously, a lot of fans have probably ordered either the green jumpsuit or the pink guard costumes. However, the Fayetteville-Manilus school district wrote to parents saying kids wearing Squid Game costumes are not welcome in their schools.
Our principals wanted to make sure our families are aware that it would be inappropriate for any student to wear to school a Halloween costume from this show because of the potential violent messages aligned with the costume
District superintendent Craig Tice said that schools have noticed how kids have “Recreated” the games in the show. As such, he called out to parents to “reinforce the school message that games associated with violent behavior are not appropriate“.
Squid Game has become one of Netflix’s most popular shows. But, it’s obvious that the show was never made for kids. With its gory scenes and violence, parents should definitely check up on their kids if they decide to let them watch.
In the show, innocent kids’ games were turned into literal life and death scenarios. Because of this, concerned parents said that it could be highly impressionable, especially for a younger audience.
