Livvy Dunne and the no good very bad take

[ArnoldRimmer]

Do we know that she's using Photoshop? At this point I thought there would be filters or AI tools for photo editing.

Fair point. I wouldn't know one badly used photo editing tool from another.

People just use "Photoshop" as shorthand for any digital alterations of photos.

Livvy Dunne on the draw of gymnastics’ perfect 10

The LSU star and one of America’s most media-savvy athletes drew criticism for her call for more maximum scores. But she promises she has the sport’s best interests at heart

It is so frustrating that I have to care that she said this.

The fact that posting pics of her body as it actually exists for the gaze of online spectators is one thing, but to alter it to further perpetuate impossible physical ideals is another lol, yikes. I guess I'm super naive about these things but I thought she was at least posting real pictures! I hate this

Fair. I just feel like there's gotta be some AI "butt enhancement" shit out there that would produce something similar to that photo.

The guardian article is fairly coherent and informed, even nuanced, and Dunne is clearly not an idiot. I for one, would much rather hear commentary from Hu on the value of a ten as it relates to her career, mastery of an event, and performance on a less competitive team, without the platform afforded to Dunne clouding the commentary. I agree with @QuietColours. It is so frustrating that shes the one with platform that even allows for these conversations to be entertained or articles to be written.
