[QUOTE=Atta|To|End;37229539]Why do people get so pissed at something they disagree with? Just ignore it. The situation will be diffused and hopefully no one gets banned or hurt.

[QUOTE=Vodkavia;37229460]As retarded as it first seems, this isn't without merit. Imagine someone you know in the picture, maybe yourself or a pet. It's hard to really get a full sense of the emotion going on there. We've all seen pictures of WWII hundreds of times, we shrug it off without the slightest bit of emotion. We can't fully empathize with it, because in reality the situation is unreal to us, having not experienced any thing close to it. Nothing dear to us was lost and we can make jokes about it regardless of seriousness of the situation because of it. I'm guessing that person didn't say that just because "hurr pone." They said it become something, whether real or not that they had a personal attachment to was put into the situation. A part of them was put into the situation. A part in which they had a conceptualization of, unlike the many people around them who they will never know.[/QUOTE] You're talking out of your ass. Photoshopping anything in a picture doesn't give it 'emotion' value, what ever the fuck that means, unless your family member/you/pet where in the original. I can go photoshop a picture of my best friend into the crowd where JFK got shot; It doesn't give me some 'emotion' value. Plus, it's a fucking purple rainbow pony from a T.V show that's designed for 3 year old girls. How can anyone older than the age of 10, especially guys, take pride in being a 'brony' brb photoshopping spongebob into a picture of the vietnam war

When i first saw the image i thought of how incredibly disrespectful it was (and still is) almost to a point of it being an insult to the people who actually suffered through such an event. However, the more i saw the image (ala reposts) i started thinking about how it actually makes sense. As you were saying you can't full experience the fear or emotion going on, or really understand yet you can acknowledge it. You think that it must have been horrible for those people of whom you have never seen or ever will go through this, but you can't fully connect to it. Seeing a familiar face go through the same ordeal allows it to connect to the person on a personal level. So it's not so much about a pony being shopped in, which is still outrageously stupid, it's more about just seeing anything you can relate to experience the trauma. EDIT: Wow, you didn't even read that ian.

There's no emotion value to be had, unless whatever you're connecting with was in the original photo.

So if it doesn't work for you it doesn't work for you. Simple as that. All i know is that if i saw a picture of nazi's rounding up the jewish citizens for deportment into a ghetto, i'd be effected much more greatly if i saw my grandmother in that picture. Anyone that you feel you have a bond with, so if you're that out there and you feel for some god know's why reason a personal bond to a character from a little kid's tv show and got that same feeling i'd get, then that's all you buddy.

There's no emotion value to be had, unless whatever you're connecting with was in the original photo.[/QUOTE] It's not about it being an edit. Sure in this case i see what you're saying, the character didn't actually experience what was going on in the picture, but if you care about that person you could imagine that they did or think about how they would have reacted if they really did.
[QUOTE=Ian;37229981]No, I did read it. It's idiotic.[/QUOTE] Yeah now you did, i literally posted that, clicked edit and saw the dumb all in about 30 seconds.

LMAO Pics: Request an image to argue over for the next few pages (seriously no one gives a shit) edition
[QUOTE=Vodkavia;37230002]You took everything I said out of context and tacked on irrelevant bullshit. :dance:[/QUOTE] No. did you read the first sentence? How can a fake picture give you emotion value? If I had a picture of the holocaust, and I photoshopped a picture my mom in it, it would give no emotion value what so ever because it's fake.
[QUOTE=\\;37230015]Yeah, you'd feel something if your grandma was actually in the picture, not just fucking photoshopped in.[/QUOTE] just fucking pretend for a minute it wasn't photoshopped. You're over thinking this and letting the fact that it's a pony get in the way of association.
This has to be the most discussion-filled version yet
[QUOTE=d00msdaydan;37230051]This has to be the most discussion-filled version yet[/QUOTE] At least it's not reaction images.
[QUOTE=mysteryman;37230055]At least it's not reaction images.[/QUOTE] I'd prefer reaction images because they're better to look at in the funny [I]pictures[/I] thread than walls of text
This is such a funny argument guys. Really.

[QUOTE=mysteryman;37230037]just fucking pretend for a minute it wasn't photoshopped. You're over thinking this and letting the fact that it's a pony get in the way of association.[/QUOTE] No, it could be anything in it and I would still find it stupid. I can pretend my mom/grandma/friend was there, but they weren't. No matter what, It's still a fake and I'd never be able to connect with it unless the picture was real.
Sorry for starting a shitstorm. Just wanted that pic to post it in the deviantArt Appreciation Station. Here is an amusing image. [img]http://i.imgur.com/dbPOL.jpg[/img]

Spongebob was actually some guy who killed innocent people, and the guy killing spongebob was a police officer, I think.
