I remember being that kid who either didn't have a costume or a really shitty one thrown together and some adults would give me shit for it although they were somewhat rare. It's definitely a real thing, at least where I'm from.
Jesus, sorry to hear that. Halloween just seems so wholesome to me. Just stop by my house and get free candy. Some kids get to dress up like their favorite super heroes and shit. It's just nice. People are deranged. Why even participate if you're gonna be an ass? Just turn your porch light off.
Eh, it was pretty rare all things considered. One or two crotchety old people in a night of fun didn't really bother me. But it is why I give plenty out to everyone who comes by now that I'm an adult.
I dressed as the doctor from Dr. Who as a kid once. People gave me crap for just wearing a suit. This is why I never once question kids' costumes on Halloween, and give extra if they do something rare or interesting. It also means I am this close to having a breakdown whenever I am cosplaying and have to deal with someone who I know won't get it.

Which sucks extra cause clearly you're the one who needs it most at that point
