One of the most famous "Drag queen story hours" had his costume with actual demon horns and makeup. Most of their costumes are actual demonic invocations, because that's the current trend among them. In this case, its not philosophical demonic. Its literal.

If someone dismisses it because of the now very secular word "demonic" (it has actual definitions in the dictionary, you should look it up), then they aren't smart enough to be worth convincing anyway.
