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

    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.

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

  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.

  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.

  Wasn’t this established a long time ago?

  • nymnympseudonym@piefed.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨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

  It also blocks your dignity.

    being surveilled is not dignified at all though.
