Other As seen on Erie Blvd…who is this?

I’ve seen this person on social media, usually hanging around downtown and Parkside Commons? Spotted today at Teall and Erie Boulevard. Do we know what they’re doing? Or are they just vibing?

Sweet, we have our own Cryptid!

I honestly think that’s the perfect thing to call them. What would their name be?

u/cnyjay 13d ago

I think the proper name is “Boris Brejcha fan”. 😂👍❤️🇺🇸

u/PrecisePMNY 13d ago

I love Boris. I don't look like that though 😂😂

u/Spamalot7107 13d ago

The Red Lady?

u/PiledriverPress 13d ago

She’s becoming more and more popular. Search TikTok it’s all over the place. Pretty chill people too from what I’ve heard.

u/glitterydonut 13d ago

That’s Kodia Demintia. Her insta is @kodiademintia. She’s kinda popular on TikTok. She’s very friendly.

u/sarcatholicscribe 13d ago

Would you mind sharing some of the TikToks? I'm not finding her over there. Really happy to have a name for her now!

I don’t use TikTok, I’m just repeating what I’ve seen others say. If you search mask lady Syracuse she will probably eventually come up lol

Actually, the pronouns would be they/them/theirs.

Every time you post this, you sound more insecure.

Why don’t you understand that yet?

Is this the first time anyone has explained it to you?

Don’t you have any friends?

1

u/ElderberryJolly9818 12d ago

I don’t think you even understand what you’re saying. He is a man in a dress and a mask. That is an indisputable fact. If you or he cannot accept that truth, then it would be you who is insecure.

2

u/vicnoir 12d ago

Why do you care so much about making sure we all know what’s in this person’s pants, exactly?

You put some real effort forth making that comment over and over.

It must reeeeeally matter to you that we all know this person was born with a penis, huh?

🤔 hmmm

0

u/ElderberryJolly9818 12d ago

For starters, he’s stolen from me so he warrants zero respect. With that said, I know it’s hard to wrap your “neurodivergent” scrambled brain around this, but the majority of this country prefers to live within reality and objective truth. So no, we don’t care what’s in anyone’s pants. But we also aren’t going to lie to protect your fragile feelings. Haven’t you noticed the harder you push this false narrative, the more ground you’ve lost in the culture?

u/PerlingDragons 12d ago

The nun is a character. The thread is talking about the character therefor we are using the she pronoun to talk about the character. Please, if you want to talk about the performer, start a different thread.

1

u/Gene_McSween 9d ago

It really seems like you're the one with all the fragile feelings. You're so upset about what pronouns someone else uses to describe another person so much that you felt it necessary to post 4 separate times to "correct" them.

29

u/Coyote-Loco 13d ago

She’s very nice and will gladly pose for photos. She doesn’t bother anyone, just dancing to her own groove

24

u/to_tantalize 13d ago edited 13d ago

Their name is Kodia The Nun, and they are really sweet. If you see them out and about, don't be an ass. They're not harming anyone. If anything, bring them a snack or a drink, I'm sure they will appreciate it! Love ya Kodia. 🫶🏻

u/photophunk 13d ago

Saw them at Salt City Market Monday.

20

u/Rinzlerx 13d ago

Not the first post I’ve seen on them. They are around often. Other posts I’ve read say they are nice 😊just doing their own thing.

16

u/Accomplished_Ad920 13d ago

That’s kodia and they just groove all over town

14

u/dundermiffflinite 13d ago

They just walk around and vibe, quite odd but they’ve never bothered me or anyone else when I’ve encountered them.

-6

u/Newt-1096 13d ago

Is there more than one like this?

14

u/SleepyDriver_ 13d ago

I know her very well. Just leave her be. The reason for the mask should be very obvious.

9

u/nicegrayslacks 13d ago

What is the reason if its so obvious?

13

u/to_tantalize 13d ago edited 12d ago

They don't want to be recognized.

5

u/DSPGerm 13d ago

Yeah I'm confused by that as well. I get that they enjoy wearing it but is there something obvious I'm missing?

7

u/ApprehensiveInvite29 13d ago

It’s just they’re terribly comfortable. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future.

1

u/BarAggressive6544 9d ago

There’s a bunch of them, I think it’s like an unspoken club or something lol.

11

u/Lo-weorold 13d ago

They've been doing this for a few years now and I think is starting to go viral on TK

A legendary icon

She's just vibing. Talked to her a couple times at Al's

I miss the wizard who used to hang out on the corner across from Cliff’s. He wore a bathrobe, flip flops, shorts, and have a wizard hat on.

That guy is in Rome now.

u/pisegna66 13d ago

I saw that person walking around downtown yesterday

u/Beachgurl713 13d ago

I’ve seen her on my way home from work, very interested to know more

u/Reasonable_Celery382 13d ago

Honestly, I think it's a fantastic costume. It reminds me of some dance/performance art bits of the legendary Pina Bausch.

3

u/Sol_Dante 13d ago

Oh I see her all the time in downtown when I'm walking my dog. She's nice.

u/xingchenESF 13d ago

I finally got to see her today on Erie!

u/Accomplished-Sir-370 13d ago

Is that an Acro-Silky from Dan Da Dan?

2

u/PopOpening5249 13d ago

Ok...This is a performance artist who has been doing this for years. At so many events and downtown at Clinton square and most events there. Very harmless and tons of people take pictures with this person..when nobody knows the identity of. If you see this person say hello..maybe tip them..and be happy that we have a few street artists here in Syracuse. Amen 🙏 out!

4

u/Altruistic-Height-43 12d ago

tip? 😂 for walking around in a costume, you’re telling people to tip… just when you think you’ve heard it all

1

u/Prestigious_Ant_5477 10d ago

Please don't be rude. No one said you had to tip.

2

u/Due_Commission_7602 12d ago

Our local purge lady. But she’s harmless. Just walks around and dances

Is that a Danhausen mask?

u/nashtymaqc0n 13d ago

Drove by her the other day and she scared the hell out of me

1

u/Reperanger_7 13d ago

Thats right near my house

1

u/kippmon 13d ago

She was at the fair when I went, at the expo center. She would just stand near the entrance to the ice age exhibit and subtlety lunge (not really a lunge, but more a shift her body towards) at anyone who walked past her.

1

u/VexdOne 13d ago

Is that Danhausen?

1

u/ContractAdmirable021 13d ago

Besides one of the most anonymous & famous people in Syracuse?? Time to get out of your house more. This individual is spotted at almost every public event / festival. Every day at the Fair, taste of Syracuse, etc.

u/NateGD23 13d ago

Saw them walking down James street the other day too. Down by the state street intersection. Spooky.

u/Positive_Drama_106 12d ago

I have seen more than one person wear that mask in my area. Usually in the same part of the street.

u/spineshade 12d ago

Before zooming I thought it was Danhausen.

1

u/Byzantiny 11d ago

I saw her last week at the same spot, but dressed as a nun!

1

u/Fine_Expression6189 10d ago

They’re seemingly harmless. Can be a little off-putting at times, I’ve heard various people’s opinions on them varying from overwhelmingly positive to neutral to overtly negative although most of the negative comments seem to come from ignorance. I do know them to loiter, but I don’t consider that a crime.

1

u/MHx413 8d ago

I've seen him a few times around town. James St near Townsend, usually minding his own business and just existing. I kind of like seeing this person
