He cannot enter a home without an invitation. He seems unaware of human social conventions and modern realities, particularly why and how people might have non-romantic housemates and how it is possible to become estranged from the "blood bonds" of family. He keeps a variety of stereotypical human costumes, including the one he's wearing. In the bathroom, he needs to ask his hosts "Is this the mirror?" because he can't see his own reflection.

So, with this idea in mind, the film actually starts to make a little sense- it's about the internet and how people act on it, such as giving away personal information to strangers because they're "friends" and gladly showing off superficial photos and memes while sweeping actual important issues under the rug, much like the weapon and the other people in the house are glossed over immediately after introduction.

Rewording my theory to be more better
Changed line(s) 2,6 (click to see context) from:
This isn't an original theory, but one found in the [=YouTube=] comments. The idea is this: The entire film is a metaphor for social media and how people act. Alan, a stranger, manages to talk his way into someone's house, like a stranger sharing a friend-request. He learns all about the people he's with, looks at their "animated objects" which are basically just memes, they eat fake food, take pictures together...and the whole interaction just feels really fake.
There's definitely ''something'' going on in the house, including a room full of unwell people, and a weapon being shown off. However, these things wouldn't be described in detail on social media- just mentioned and then buried in a pile of memes and selfies and food-pics. Despite this, Alan tries to find out personal information about his hosts, such as their relationship with their parents, and then attempts to give them advice- again, much like someone on social media weaseling their way into a personal situation. Similarly, the fact that Alan is immediately assumed to be racist can be chalked up to how people online jump to conclusions and assume the worst in people, especially when it comes to political and social issues.
All in all, everything in the film was a real-life reenactment of how people act online, and over social media, specifically.

Right from the start, there's something not right with the cowboy, nor with his hosts. Their words are polite, but their tone and body-language are aggressive and cold. He's even assumed to be racist, just for asking to enter their house! The
This is all very strange, until the connection with social media is made. On social media, people force their way into conversations or attempt to become friends with random people. Upon becoming "friends", this person will have access to a person's profile page in detail, where they can see a superficial look into their lives. People share their information on these pages, such as about their political beliefs, family, or relationship status. They also share funny memes with each other, take selfies, and even take pictures
