I mod a worryingly growing list of communities. Ask away if you have any questions or issues with any of the communities.

I also run the hobby and nerd interest website scratch-that.org.

    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.






  • If you don’t want to see the difference in the hue/saturation/vibrancy 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. Somehow the deep brown-grey shadow on the side of his face took on a significantly more red tint, despite this being a flat painting photographed in identical lighting between both photos.

    The unfunny answer is likely that somebody tweaked the picture to up the orange, specifically to get a reaction. Especially likely since the reverse image search pulls up reddit as the first source, and reddit loves nothing more than beating a comedy dead horse. Finding pictures that were from the same event, people are noticeably less orange colored. Even RFK who does have an orange tinge isn’t oompla loompa colored like in the OP picture.

    Also community rule 2.

    Terry is genetically Bruce’s son because the government put DNA altering tech (NANOMACHINES, SON) into a flu shot they gave to Terry’s dad so that his sperm would genetically be Bruce Wayne’s. Then later the government was going to murder Terry’s parents so he would get traumatized and become Batman.

    Yes it’s real, yes it’s stupid. The show is still great. (The reveal also happens in a Justice League episode so you don’t even have to skip over it while watching the show.)
