[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It tracks that an entire thread of probably-white women wouldn't be able to relate to a Black woman's upset at being erased, but...

It's pretty sad that none of y'all can put yourself in an artist's shoes, and face makeup, and imagine the time that went into making those artistic decisions, setting up the shot(s), making that work, only to have some punk with photoshop or AI think they knew better by making something that's already been made as an illustration. If they'd wanted it to look like the illustration, don't you think they could've replicated it themselves, and better?

Yes, yes they could've. And they didn't. Why not? She obviously had some agency to present the character and her interpretation of same in the way she wanted, and you're mad at her for being upset that some anon stole that away to make her work derivative and basic? And that the edits remove the features that make her "her" in the process? What of what's left in that edit says "That's Cynthia Erivo"? That could be literally anyone, and you don't think she has a right to be upset about being erased so you can have your trite repeat image?

Probably because you're basic, and can't appreciate anything beyond what you already know. And now you want to call her names and call her a homewrecker and all this other unrelated trash.

Who's het up about a picture now? [/quote]

It’s random fan art. I put it in the category as fan fic. People have all sorts of artistic variation in skill level and may not always do the source material justice. This edit would have faded into oblivion if she hadn’t made a big deal of it. At first I though she was upset because the actual movie producers edited something, but to get this angry at some internet rando is totally weird.[/quote]

A fanfic based on a very popular cover. They put the title in the same place. Her reaction was uncalled[/quote]
