Misinformation. I wonder how one could make that costume.

Have a shirt with the letter X

Whatever costume you choose this Halloween, make sure to wash it with Torgo's Executive Powder. Torgo's Executive Powder; when your costumes stinks like a Omicronian's feet, only trust Torgo's Executive Powder.

A suit with a pattern that looks like Newspapers but they're all the onion articles.

Onion is satire, not misinformation. Try Fox, or some of the more blatant shit like Info Wars.

It was a joke. They're a satire of misinformation. That's the point. I would NOT suggest wearing REAL news articles in your costume.

You don't even need to use onion articles.

... Probably want to avoid the pointy hat made out of white paper

I mean, it's a showcase of misinformation - white supremacy is a pretty glaring front for that shit. Perfect match imo.

I agree that it's a very strong statement, but actual or facsimile symbols of hate are not appropriate costumes

Come dressed up in a clown costume and loudly and persistently insist you're a politician?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably someone else's idea...

*semi-original idea made out of someone else's images.

Let's not forget that the actual technology isn't the issue here. The issue is how the training data for it was sourced.
