was this a costume for an event? or his daily fashion? people are allowed to present as goth, this isn't the 1000th most embarrassing thing he's done.

maybe try to find a picture of him interacting with one of his offspring or wives? or a picture of him actually working as an engineer? or doing something good for those less fortunate? or participating with the greater community? or expressing empathy for a tragedy?

I’m the Dude. So that’s what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you’re not into the whole brevity thing.
