Kids these days have it easy, what happened to the good old days where our negligent parents would go on a trip to Florida over the chirstmas holidays and due to a power outage the night before leaving, arrive late and unorganized to the air port, leaving me, Kevin Mccallister behind at the house, alone, home, defending myself against 2 robbers trying to murder me. Kids these days can’t just “mindcraft” their way out of attempted murder and home invasion, they barely know how to set up booby traps and hit people with paint cans.
Concept: a gender that is required to invest in expensive supplies to paint a second, more idealized face over its regular, inadequate face every day in order to secure employment, basic respect, et cetera. Also, if this gender uses too much paint or is too ostentatious about it, there’s trouble, and generally none of this can be discussed without starting a fight. Y/n?
Bizarre & hard to understand. A tough concept to swallow
Thank you for your feedback. Sorry if my idea was confusing at first, these points ought to clear things up and make it more sensible:
Every member of this gender’s paint application is automatically open to public critique and derision.
Ditto this gender’s underlying features.
Those of a different gender may not even recognize this gender’s unpainted appearance, and may experience fear and confusion when its skin is revealed as similar to their own.
All aspects of culture relating to paint—whether direct, indirect, mainstream or purportedly subversive—are twisted by capitalism and an elemental antipathy towards this gender (which is internalizable for convenience), plus compounding modes of oppression (e.g. #6 and #7).
Those who enjoy artistic painting as a personal interest and those who object to mandatory painting are encouraged if not outright required to despise and scorn one another.
Members of this gender previously assigned a different gender may be forced to take extra care applying paint, on pain of death.
Paint for darker skin costs more and isn’t as readily available.
Some paints may contain dangerous substances, though disclosure isn’t required.

A man once invented a talking piano-like monstrosity with a mannequin head that he thought would revolutionize the world.
Spoiler: people hated it everywhere he took it for ten years and then he destroyed it and himself in the same fit of rage.
I think I would go back in time and completely lie to this poor guy. I’d tell him that he needs to just live a full life and relax because we enlightened future people will rediscover his chattering doll head wife in 2016 and it will totally bring about world peace. Everyone home will have like, four of them. The president will deliver all speeches through one. They will be granted legal personhood and citizenship. A towering golden statue of him and his original model will tower over the world’s largest metropolis and bring joy to the hearts of children.
