That part confused me. Having someone in a Devil costume is going to be scary, confusing or offensive to many people, so if it's not a great metaphor, why not pick another one?
I think it's better to skip certain classes metaphors for this kind of event: religion, sex, death, disease (cancer, etc.) probably chief among them.

- krapp 8y ago> Having someone in a Devil costume is going to be scary, confusing or offensive to many people No it isn't. People sell devil costumes to children for Halloween. Almost no one is confused or scared by the sight of someone in a devil costume, just as almost no one is going to see someone dressed as Thor and actually likely believe the god of thunder is walking among them.
