Distributing porn of people is quite emotional and a different story. But changing people’s clothes and adding babies seems like something that should bother no one.
But I think some people have their image linked to their identity and it’s a big deal for them.
When I first got a scanner and laser printer in the late 80s, my brother and I scanned a photo of my mom and edited her face onto a Griffin battlemech from the FASA miniature game Battletech (a 55-ton giant robot with guns and missles and stuff basically copied from Robotech).
I printed it out and gave it to her and was pretty proud of how cool it looked. But she burst into tears and was so upset the we would “do that to her.”
Totally different from my intent and expectation and how I would react. This is the first time I realized that people have very different associations of images of them and self identity.
"You're showing too much skin, harlot!"
If it’s done to insult people, and dismiss their bodily autonomy, then yeah, it’s counterculture. There’s nothing wholesome about it. Like “well bless your heart” and “I’ll pray for you”, they’re intended to be insults in sheep’s clothing.
I think it's a good initiative from 4chan.
