Incels are anti-abortion because the only way they can reproduce is if women are forced to carry their rape babies to term.

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

Do you know what the "cel" part of "incel" is?

[-] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 65 points 3 months ago

Is this an actual ad or Photoshop

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 54 points 3 months ago

The fact that there is a shadow from the frame on all sides makes me think its edited.

[-] Ashen@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 months ago

Damn, good eye.

[-] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 31 points 3 months ago
[-] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 13 points 3 months ago

It's photoshop. There is zero reflectivity from the glass.

[-] qevlarr@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

What is that picture? How do I interpret it?

[-] javasux@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

This is a representation of the data density in the jpeg compression. Photos that have been edited and recompressed will often have a different level of detail in the edited regions, or a conspicuous lack of detail as seen in the poster glass here.

See I knew something didn't look right

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

As far as I can find online, it's real. Would have to have a New Yorker go to 5th Ave. and 49th St. to verify, assuming it's still up.

[-] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 11 points 3 months ago

What are you finding online that seems to validate this?

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago
[-] Sharkwellington@lemmy.one 15 points 3 months ago

I have to imagine if it were real we'd have at least 1 other picture, right?

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

There'd be hundreds. I looked, can't find another one

[-] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

Ah, so literally nothing. This is absolutely fake.

[-] Tyfud@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I'm not an expert by any stretch, but it looks fairly legit.

You can see the lighting of the picture is similar to the lighting of the scene/world, including some mild reflection of the ground and cars in front of the dark parts of the picture (his black jacket).

These are very subtle details that, while always possible to fake, would have been a pretty serious investment in time and energy to have done.

So I'm inclined to think it's legit.

[-] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago

I would imagine only the text is edited

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 34 points 3 months ago

Oh man does he look like the murderer in a movie based on a Stephen King novel.

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

Dems need to actually run this all over the place. It's brilliant.

[-] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 months ago

Too bad it's not real though

[-] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah, hence the comment you're responding to saying it should be made real

[-] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 19 points 3 months ago
[-] netvor@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

more like "Your couch. My choice"

[-] ChillPenguin@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Please sir, not my couch!

[-] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

That would be a fantastic political ad campaign. Picture of republican politician, "your body my choice", and maybe a bad quote or bill they sponsored. Dems need to step it up with impactful ads

[-] Talaraine@fedia.io 9 points 3 months ago

Perfection.

[-] Stupidmanager@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Just because i’m currently sitting on the couch, does NOT make my body his. He does has a nice punchable face though.

[-] chemicalprophet@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago

Dimwitted tradwives be like, ‘totally!’…

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 3 months ago

I don't kinkshame but it's not a kink if it's forced on others

[-] chemicalprophet@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

It has only just occurred to me that this may be sexually motivated. I was only hearing it as more of the horrible misogyny coming from them. Well, TIL.

[-] WJWARLOCK@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

And we thought Sarah Palin was bad.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

She was. Ugh. Is.

[-] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

*obviously photoshopped photo*

Lemmings: "Wow this is definitely real"

[-] qevlarr@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

The fact no legitimate news outlet has covered this, gives me no pause at all

[-] xenoclast@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Name a "legitimate news source" that doesn't predominantly report based and tweets.

[-] SonOfMothman@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I don’t see any comments saying it’s real though

Edit: 1 comment saying probably lol

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 3 months ago

Oh yeah? I counted the fingers, buddy, it all checked out.
