I was in a busy city, not sure where, but it was a melting pot of cultures. To my dismay, I saw many young men look identical. Copying each other's styles almost exactly, appearing like clones. So I snapped, grabbed a random lad by the shoulders and shook him saying "WHY ARE YOU COPYING OTHERS? WHY CAN'T YOU BE ORIGINAL? STOP BEING A CLONE, FREE YOUR MIND!" He looked terrified but he understood and nodded. Then he ran away and I followed him, hoping I'd see him transform into something cool. Instead I saw him go home and get sudden diarrhea and cry. When he was finished he ran to his mom, speaking in Chinese. The guy must've been at least 20 years old and I was shocked, feeling like I'd just bullied a literal child. His mother turned to me and demanded an explanation. All I could do was back away awkwardly.
