This rubs me the wrong way.

I feel like it sends a sort of distorted message about homelessness—that we should care for the homeless because they may possess some sort of hidden talent. Shouldn’t we care about them because they’re people, not because of what they may be able to do for us?

Professionals gaslighting posing as amateurs in their hobbies or crafts seem harmless to me. It’s light-hearted, funny, and humbling to those who interact with them. But here, it just seems a bit callous? I’m glad he donated the proceeds to a charity for homelessness, but I think he could have just had something out for charity without him dressing up as a homeless person as well.

People are homeless, are usually struggeling with something from absolute shitty luck (healthcare debt?), to drug use and/or family problems.

Using such a group as cover for flexing your own shit, is about as tasteful as pro-players smurfing against kids.
