    I thought thigh highs and cat ear headsets are the style of the modern hacktivist?

      20 years ago, it was The Matrix. 10 years ago, Guy Fawkes masks. Thigh highs and cat ears are the least cringy of the possibilities to date.

        to be fair, while not much of a hacker since the days when you could just open windows and delete the password, most of my casual wardrobe could pass for ‘cozy pyjama party matrix cosplay’.

        but new images are always nice.

        A dude in a full Fox fursuit is the face behind the string of shutdowns that slowed the nation to a halt. I can see it now, FBI dragging the poor guy out of his room, knocking over models and plushies off his desk as he struggles to get his message out to the public.

    Wow, I can’t believe nobody’s even bothered to mention the style from the definitive hacker movie. Just absolutely gobsmacked. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like:

    Notably missing from this picture: rollerblades, fingerless gloves, neon dyed hair, tons of fishnets (which I guess you could probably stylize as fish.nets or something), puffy vest, etc.

    In my day, being a hacker meant dressing like a weird raver/punk and sending people a GIF of a laughing skull, and that’s how we liked it

    It’s literally part of hacker-ethics to not judge people by their fancy exterior:

    Hackers should be judged by their acting, not bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race, or position.

        I believe that’s the origin of “tits or GTFO” came from too, a cringey way of saying that they don’t care if your a girl if you say something dumb online. Though predictably it morphed into incel taunts and male chauvinist bullshit once the meaning was lost.

      Punk tends to lean towards modifying what you have with what tools are available, and shopping second-hand. As a bonus, the inherent aesthetic is harder for the fashion industry to co-opt.

              Correct!

              For those not in the know, he was a member of a number of New York punk bands in the 70s. Malcolm McLaren nicked his style (along with that of others) and brought it over to England to sell in his clothing store Sex.

    We’re the black hoodie guy, which is the media aesthetic the way Ninjas are decked in Kabuki black.

    Real ninjas look like peasants because they’re covert operatives. Hacktivists look like lower class tech geeks with a band or brand tee (maybe an overworn prized possession like a 1980s Apple tee). The thing is, we willfully choose to look bland, to be not noticed.

      He was on my Southwest flight to LAX in 2001 and there was a palpable buzz among the pax.

      Then ran into him while we were waiting for our rides at the white zone, which is for loading and unloading only.

      I presented him with a super tacky giant gold coat button I had just found at a payphone as if it was an achievement award, and had a fun quick chat. Lovely and delightful guy.

        When I met him, we had some absurd questions during the audience participation part. My friend asked, “suburban Baltimore is such an interesting backdrop for a movie. Both mundane and interesting. As a young black artist in America, I’d like to know what you think about lowriders.”

        My other friend had him sign her maxipad wrapper. This friend also happens to be the nice of Patsy from Ab Fab.

    Yes please fit into a nice cultural box so you’re easy to profile, entice and hunt

    Edit to say you don’t need an age to be an activist. Does hacktivism have an age? Idk I guess younger folks are more likely to do it right now. Maybe hacktivism just needs a democratizing platform. Like enable grandma to ddos
