I thought it would show my creative side, but the HR manager just stared in silence. Turns out she's a huge Cable fan and took it personally!

Honestly, that's on her for letting fandom bias affect professional judgment.

Yikes, that's unprofessional! Letting fandom bias show like that is a red flag.

Actually, most HR guidelines I've seen stress neutrality above all else. I read a case study where a candidate was rejected for similar fandom clashes, and it was cited as a clear bias issue. Wearing the mask was bold, but her silent treatment just proves the point about unprofessional conduct.
