A Carnival band included a “Rose” - a female pleasure device - inside a swag bag for masqueraders. Within hours, social media erupted. 🗣️ Church groups were upset. 🗣️ Parents were concerned. 🗣️ Sponsors were uneasy. 🗣️ Commentators were divided. And immediately the public discussion turned into: “Has Carnival gone too far?” But that question actually misses the "real issue". Because the controversy wasn’t caused by the object. It was caused by context.
