The 2022 one is honestly so ironic, because most governments who dictate head coverings for women are led by far-right religious nationalists. Not unlike the far-right christian nationalists we see in the US today.

Also ironic because it looks like a gaiter mask, which I only ever saw being worn by right-wing dingbats.

Hah, good point! Didn’t even catch that.

I use one but its more my mask of last resort like if I pop in a gas station.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I used one until I found out how useless they were. I thought a lot of the "fun" mask ideas worked better with a gaiter.

But after those first couple months - yeah, only worn by "look I'm wearing a mask, leave me alone" types or "I don't want people to see my face while I stroke my AR15 at the minimum legal distance from this polling location" types.

right-wing dingbats

C'mon, have a little respect for other cultures. The preferred vernacular is cosplatriots.

Also there's Left Wing atheists. Really doubt they want religious clothing.

I personally can't wait until the cyberpunk style takes over and we all have to wear techno full head masks and helmets with long coats and layers.

Why wait? Be the change you wish to see in the world.

It’s an original character

OK, I'm not trans but if gay space cat was an option ...

It's true - right-wing genetic cul-de-sacs are well known for showing their faces as they disjointedly goose-step around the place.

Where's a pic of those dorky looking patriot front whatever racists?

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

That's nothing - at least they can see. You should have seen 2018. Simone Smash It has my vote for 2024 regardless.
