ABC’s new Roseanne spinoff comedy, The Conners (http://forums.previously.tv/topic/75455-s01e03-there-wont-be-blood/?do=getLastComment), tackled the controversial topic of banning certain Halloween costumes that fall under the category of so-called “cultural appropriation” but acknowledged that cultural appropriation can actually be “cultural appreciation.”

Darlene (Sara Gilbert) missed an email from her son Mark’s (Ames McNamara) school warning that certain costumes are banned for the school’s Halloween carnival, leading Mark to learn at the last minute that his Fortnite costume is banned because it’s based on a violent video game.
