I hope he manages to appoint MTG as Fed Chair.
Curb Your Enthusiasm theme starts playing
Damn Sheryl went downhill after Larry
The unfunny answer is likely that somebody tweaked the picture to up the orange, because haha funny. Especially likely since the reverse image search pulls up reddit as the first source. Finding pictures that were from the same event, most people are noticeably less orange colored. Even RFK who does have an orange ting isn’t oompla loompa colored like in the OP picture.
Idk this isn’t much better lol… RFK still looks like he was left in the air fryer a few minutes too long.
If you don’t want to see the difference in the hue/saturation between the photos, I think continuing back and forth would be pointless. The colors are to my eye, clearly tweaked. In the OP image even Ronald Reagan looks like he used a little spray tan.
I touched on this above but did a very quick modification on mobile and only adjusted black levels. Not warmth, hue, saturation etc. The man is, unquestionably, of the “fake tan / orange” variety - and the woman, while more “natural,” is effectively leather. I left our head dried apricot in charge out of the picture because he is easily the worst one in the image. The painting is catching some bad light - but it’s still a bit too washed out regardless.
Original:
Black levels eyeballed:
Look at the guy in the far right of the original photo vs the photo I put up. He has a fairly normal skintone in the photo I put in, and is positively oranged up in the OP photo. I think he is a good barometer of the change. This isn’t to say RFK is a baseline normal looking person, but two things can be true- RFK looks weird and the colors were heightened, with one result being exaggerating the tone that was already there for him.
Sure. There are absolutely people in that photo who have a normal skin tone. If the saturation were being brutally jacked up to make RFK look orange then they too would be off color completely (most likely beet red.) The point I was getting at is this doesn’t take much modification (even to fairly benign levels like my example shows) to land him firmly in the topic’s question.
Yes - the observation is being made because it’s funny; but if we’re being honest - the pictures don’t really need all that much assistance to make OPs point, though.
While we’re on the subject of oompa loopmas… What’s up with Cindy Loo Who and the guy behind her? Holy canoli.
While I won’t disagree that someone upped the saturation on the above photo slightly - and slightly is the key here: it easily could have been auto corrected to that level on a simple photo editor automatically. I wouldn’t be comfortable with malice being the underlying reason for what appears to be an attempt to make the photo look less washed out - which your example appears to be.
The problem is a lot of these people are positively off of an actual human color. Spray / fake tan or years of sun exposure and subsequent damage. Take your pick. Either way: correcting color without intentionally distorting the spectrum to make them look ‘normal’ is not kind to most of the people in the original photo… and not drastically far off from what it appears to be.
Disclaimer: I’m not looking at this at the office where I have a display that has been properly calibrated - but I’m reasonably certain of my assessment.
“Orange is the new scum.”
It’s en vogue now.
You know like Kim Young In is the most powerful in North Korea so being fat like him exudes strength and power and is admired by everyone.
I guess the Dons orangeness does the same to Americans.
Lot of money in that room.
Also get you a girl that looks at you the way she looks at him.
Reagan hates everyone in this picture
Well, most of us hate Reagan, so…?
he built the foundations for everyone in this picture.
Even Reagan would be like
i doubt it. he would be praising how successful they have been at dismantling america
Reagan was evil, but he subtly evil. He got off on getting his agenda across just with charm. He’d be flipping out about how overtly evil today’s malefactors are operating
The bull in a china shop approach is only going to provoke backlash
Reagan would not approve
Realistically he’d probably think they’re all his grandchildren or something.
They think it makes them look human
Jeez I can see MTGs boner from here.
Bone her? I hardly know her!
Comments like this is why incels are creepy, and also why they are incels. But they blame woke and feminism for their own creepy behavior.
Would be sad, really, if they weren’t so hateful.
Not saying the above commenter is an incel. But this is the type of comment I would expect from someone who identifies with that community, so I thought I would take the opprotunity to point it out.
It’s radiation poisoning from being near their glowing turd of a leader. They’re ghouls.
See? This is what happens when you go on the carnivore diet.
They all look like Bethesda NPCs
For some reason this makes me think of the movie “They Live”?
So gross. This picture is disgusting.
