"Unapologetically unmasking"
For anyone who doesn't know: Masking is the act of acting like a normal, functional person despite being a ✨Neuro divergent ✨ Boss biatch.
It involves something these types can't stand: learning and maintaining proper social skills in specific situations and settings.
Within the last 10 years, it's become a less and less accepted idea within those ✨special✨ pockets of social media where these kinds of foids frolic and affirm one another's cringe behavior.
However I've noticed a trend within the last 5 years:
They don't just think masking is oppressive, they believe that it's completely unnecessary for adulthood.
Even better: they think it leads to their empowerment

This is such a peak image that boomers would seethe over

Is "masking" just not acting like a self-centered r-slur in public? Everyone acts a little different in public vs private?

It's a bit more intensive than coding.
Coding is what you're describing, where divergent and nondivergent individuals alike have different behaviors in different settings.
Masking is specifically a learned behavior where one observes what is the acceptable behavior and mimics it to gain social acceptance in a group.
Seen primarily in neurodivergent girl children from astoundingly young ages.
Neurodivergent and ADHD boys don't mask until their teens or later adulthood
