A person who appears normal on the outside—sometimes even charming—but beneath the surface is emotionally decayed, morally bankrupt, and entirely hollow. Often manipulative, selfish, and abusive, they wear the appearance of humanity but lack all the qualities that make someone truly human: empathy, accountability, and emotional depth.
Used to describe:
Narcissists
Emotional abusers
Pathological liars
People who destroy others while playing the victim

“He’ll smile in your face, cry on command, and then destroy your life while blaming you for bleeding. Classic rotting core in a human costume.”
“She acted like a supportive friend until the moment I crumbled—then used every secret I ever shared against me. That’s not a person. That’s a rotting core in a human costume.”
“He says all the right words about mental health and healing, but he doesn’t believe in either—he just wants control. He’s nothing but a rotting core in a human costume.”
"He volunteers at a soup kitchen, cheats on his wife, lies to his kids, and hasn’t worked in years—but still walks around like he’s the second coming. He’s not a man. He’s a rotting core in a human costume."

On January 6, 2021, it was little more than half off bargin costumes, teeshirts, hats and flags. A facade intending to cause fear without much substance. Just a Costume Coup.

Get the Costume Castlemug. Figuratively it refers to a well known truth behind some concept (for example, "santa isnt real") that we collectively decide to ignore, because it ruins the fun.
It's in reference to mascot costumes worn by some poor soul to appease the masses, for example the underpaid part-timers staffing the costumes at disneyland
It's like, as a kid, pulling the "no, you didint just kill me cause we are just pretending" card when playing pretend on a playground

Weeb A: you do know that most weebs are ironic about waifus, right? Only a relatively small amount of weebs actually think stuff like "this fictional high schooler is the love of my life".
Weeb B: Can we please stop talking about the man in the costume and get back to arguing about which underage girl is hotter?
