    Dang, these are actually really good costume ideas. I’m kinda thinking of what other more nebulous fears can be costumes now.

        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.

              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

            *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.

        There’s a couple outfits and accessories I can think of.

          Carrying a Google search for “Do vaccines cause autism?” with 9 links to scientific studies crossed out and an opinion article on Fox News circled and highlighted. Perhaps a Bible still in its shrinkwrap.
