Oh? You go around in public naked? You don't groom yourself before engaging socially? You don't filter your speech options per the target audience?

We all modify & mask. Don't be obtuse. It's not complicated.

Hey, I'm not the one that'd arrest me for going around naked!

Check your local laws, friend. Be free.

@otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com was using the literary device known as "metaphor".

A bad one that I completely disagree with. Hence my post.

You’re being obtuse. None of that is make up.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ah, I stand corrected: it is complicated, apparently. Good luck, there,

It’s not complicated, but you’re complicating it by saying clothing, grooming, filtering thought from speech are all the same as make-up.

Better get to work, kiddo. You've got a hard row to hoe, it looks like.

I dunno what that means but it might explain your delusions.
