10 Ways Role Play Can Go Terribly (And Hilariously) Wrong
When it’s cultural appropriation
Cultural appropriation, like sexism, is unfortunately embedded in some of the most popular roleplay costumes as well. You know the ones. We’ll spare you the specifics.

Maybe spare the poor sales associate at the sex shop the lecture on how wrong the costumes are. She’s getting paid minimum wage and has to deal with men coming in to “sample” the lube in the adult video section. She deals with enough.
