i’m new to this sub, anyone with experience can you tell me why i had to put the resolution of the photo in the title?
This sort of mask was used to publicly humiliate adulturers or people spreading slander, not for mentally ill.
Why’d they give it ears???
Sure this didn’t help.
Well, if you weren’t before…
I’ll file that under ‘If You Weren’t Crazy Before…’
Put that thing on an insane person for 10 minutes, and they’ll surely turn even more insane
If you weren’t insane, you were a witch. Always something.
