Are you farsighted?

[–] Lojcs@piefed.social 3 points 3 days ago

Wow I had no idea it could be done that way. Just tried doing it and the image is way blurrier when 'inverted'. I am near sighted. Does this mean it applies to illusions too?

It is a good one. Although my eyes kept trying to focus on the keyboad and failing

Elisa would be close to ideal if it didn't assume music always belong to an album

Honestly fuck off with that. Perpetuating stereotypes is not 'great' just because it helps your point.

The other person also said they didn't look angry to them so that could be just me. His eyebrows are angled downward and I think that's what makes him look upset to me.

I know, I never said it was somebody else. As I've said elsewhere, they could've picked any other picture of him but they specifically picked this one because it conforms to what people already think what a terrorist looks like. That's what a stereotype is.

You put the imagery under the name to illustrate that they're a terrorist to people that already have the stereotype ingrained and it also ends up illustrating to other people that that's what a terrorist looks like. Worse, it normalizes the idea that stereotypes are a reliable source of information about people. This isn't bad because it's going to hurt his feelings, it's bad because it affects completely unrelated people.

Honestly it's insane to me that this has to be explained to a presumed anti-racist
