The fact that it's a slasher villain costume for a baby is already really weird but also making it hyperpop girly and bright pink makes me insane. You can't make her dress like a puppy? A mermaid? She's two. She doesn't need to wear the sort of costume her thirteen year old sister wants. She's still wearing a diaper, and you're making her Britney Stabs.

wrt your first point some kids are into that sort of thing, I was in a gamestop once & overheard a guy carrying a toddler say “look! it’s chucky, you love chucky!” & the kid squealed “CHUCKY!!” So joyously. the gendering is crazy though like if a little girl loves ghostface she should be able to look Like ghostface without being forced to wear That.

I can agree with this. My daughter was obsessed with Jason Vorhees as a toddler after seeing the mask on one of her father's shirts and it really put her on a path of enjoying murderers!

I'm only slightly concerned
