... and find you about a 500 examples, but that would take too long.

I'll put it this way. If you dress in a manner that calls attention to yourself instead of what you are protesting you are defeating the purpose. The media looks for people that dress and act silly at protests. It gives them a nice visual to focus on and set a narrative with. A protest of hundreds of thousands of rational citizens dressed respectfully and acting rationally gets turned into "a bunch of loonies dressed like jack-asses" because a few people have to call attention to themselves.
