Quote:To all appearances, 2013 was the year that bronies went mainstream, but casual Internet observers have already moved on to mocking a different toy-based fetish: masking.



Judging by a trailer for a documentary program on Britain’s Channel 4, the hobby is entirely harmless, if unusual—a sort of heightened cross-dressing, really. Men who would rather have the appearance of living dolls wear wigs, women’s clothes, and silicone masks of female faces.

Often this practice, indulged during leisure time and for specialized nightclub events, is part of an effort to create a female alter ego, a beautiful fantasy persona. Some men go so far as to temporarily alter their bodies. Below, “Vanessa” receives a saline infusion to swell breast tissue for a few hours, then dabs the needle punctures with super glue.

"Secrets of the Living Dolls" garnered a whopping 13.5 percent audience share in the U.K. last night, or about 2.3 million viewers. Like many such investigative pieces, it walked the line between sensitivity and gawking exploitation, a slippery tone brilliantly satirized by the sketch show That Mitchell & Webb Look.

Setting ground work for the remake of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.

Isn't it illegal to wear a mask outside of Halloween?

Wow, a cartoon aimed at single digit aged girls? That definitely shows you that there's something major fuckied up on this earth... I refuse to use the word "bro" now. I always felt like Hulk Hogan when I said "brother."

This crop of kids has to be the most socially inept group of humans to ever walk the planet. That are caught in a vortex of Internet fantasy where their reality has become blurred with the media they are exposed to.

It's like an entire generation of Larpers.

I believe every single generation has said something along these lines about the generation that follows them...yet here we are, still truckin' along.

Things like this are hardly something new, since the dawn of man there have been groups of people who behave differently from the norm. Either simply because they want to or because they're compelled to by their subconscious.

A mask fetish is likely very, very old. The oldest mask on human record is 9,000 years old (here's a picture). Masks are likely far older than that, but probably used organic materials, so they wouldn't be preserved.
