Nobody is saying it’s broadly ok to fake images otherwise.

It’s pretty fucked up to, say, inject tragedy into narratives by showing victims as emancipated when they’re not. Or altering racial profiles to fit a narrative.

It may not pop out as particularly noteworthy in a new age of fake imagery though.

Broadly everyone is saying that? I don't see any major movement shaming or suing the advertising industry into the ground, over obviously shopped images and videos.


s/emancipated/emaciated/ ?


Autocorrect, yes.
