Dang, these are actually really good costume ideas. I'm kinda thinking of what other more nebulous fears can be costumes now.
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.
I wonder what ai would come up with?
... 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
Probably someone else's idea...
*semi-original idea made out of someone else's images.

Come dressed up in a clown costume and loudly and persistently insist you're a politician?
Something really surreal, with the wrong number of fingers.
I nominate willful ignorance!
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.
