Just in case it's not obvious, this was an edited, color-saturated version that someone had attempted to pass off as the real, unedited thing. In a world of lies, I just wanted to make sure people are aware. We've got so much of this going on today, I'm hoping at some point people start holding themselves to a higher standard; even on shitposts.
you mean I can't use photos edited for humor on c/PoliticalMemes ?
No, by all means - use edited photos. I'm just pointing out that this is close enough to reality, that it could be mistaken for a real picture.
If you had painted a white oompa-loompa suit, and green hair on him, I wouldn't have felt the need to point the picture out, or maybe even saturated the picture EVEN MORE, but it's getting to the point where you cannot trust anything anywhere, and there's no longer any real sources of ground-truth.
