    I feel like you might stand out as “the guy wearing clown makeup”

      ICP is based as hell:

      “I SAY FUCK YOUR REBEL FLAG

      Out here pretending like you ain’t offendin’

      I SAY FUCK YOUR REBEL FLAG

      You redneck judges with racist grudges

      I SAY FUCK YOUR REBEL FLAG

      If you gotta tattoo, I’m aimin’ at you

      I SAY FUCK YOUR REBEL FLAG

      You get punched in your faces reppin’ the racists”

        Speaking as someone who isn’t a juggalo, it’s clear that the subculture represents a lot more people than just the ones who identify with it. Like with Punk, a lot of outsiders don’t look past the aesthetic to realize that they’re trying to convey an important social message and be a voice for disenfranchised groups. They aren’t just people in clown make-up, they’re people who were fucked over by society and this is the outlet they found. Sadly it’s easier to laugh at memes about magnets than to confront their reality.

        I’d include the rap subculture as well but sadly their message became diluted when they achieved mainstream success and were co-opted by the marketing amd propaganda machine as another tool to perpetuate the Spectacle.

    I used to think juggalos were cringe but I’m really digging how based they are. Music isn’t my taste but I’ve got weird musical preferences anyway.

    Hello fellow juggalos, it’s me, a juggalo. I was just taking Wolfie for a walk.

      I wonder if those patterns still work.

    You know those influencers who are like makep addicts? They often use shading or tape to change the shape of their faces. I wonder whether they could fool facial recognition technology as well.

    The difference being that a person made up like that won’t stand out as much as a person wearing Juggalo makeup.

      I think this guy definitely definitely knows how to fool them!

    Juggalos are still identified as a domestic terrorist org, probably for this exact reason

    We must be close to the sort of flexible eink display that will finally make Rorschach’s mask a thing.

      We become Rorschach. Funny joke, everyone laughs.

    People will call the cops on clowns they spot on the street, and cops respond. I kid you not, at least in some places.

    Wasn’t this established a long time ago?

    source
    • nymnympseudonym@piefed.social ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      It was.

      And I have bad news: it’s largely no longer true. Modern models, gait recognition, 3d face maps, all can de-anonymize juggalo/clown makeup

    Yes, but, you have to keep changing the makeup design!

      it’s an improvement over having to keep changing my face

    Ya know, they do have two songs I like, maybe I’m a juggalo now

    source
    • Sergio@piefed.social ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Just outta curiosity, what are those 2 songs?

      source
      • Aviandelight@mander.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Not who you were originally asking but Tilt-a-whirl is so much better than it has any right to be. It’s on my top five lists of songs containing the best belting out of “mother fucker.” My husband may eventually win his battle of getting me to like ICP.

    It also blocks your dignity.

      being surveilled is not dignified at all though.
