They actually did it. This is disgusting.

It's been photoshopped obviously.

Share with us, what makes it obvious?

Common sense. Nobody is going to paint a rainbow flag and BLM logo on a bomb dropped on brown people, and take a picture of it, nor would the military allow that.

I've also seen the original photo next to the photo shopped version elsewhere. It's a high quality photoshop to be sure, but still one nonetheless.

This is clown world. There is absolutely nothing that surprises me anymore. In fact I find it very unsettling now when something that used to be considered normal happens. I just expect absurdity as the default reality now.

A young smartass soldier totally would.. and the handful of people close enough to see it between the moment it was painted and when it was dropped could totally be in on the joke. But if I see a non-shopped photo I could change my mind, but I'm not finding anything matching in a quick image search.

Occam's razor. It's more likely to be a photoshop regardless. It's also too perfect and professional looking for some rando airman with a penchant for career ending shenanigans to pull off with the apparent approval of everyone else involved in the maintenance and piloting of that plane.

Totally fake, although I agree every day some new clownworld shit no one would believe could ever happen, happens.

you don't think they're using a wide format printer these days?

What if it's for public relations in some twisted SJW way?

I forget the name of that other axiom about being unsure if absurdity on the internet is legit or a joke.

Also wondering. It doesn’t match common sense IMO, and the image is low quality potentially hiding give-aways, but anyone trying to sport graphic tech skills is full of shit.

I’ve worked with photoshop professionally for about 15 years. Including image editing jobs specifically. I’m not seeing give-aways.

At least the "nothing ever happens" crowd here isn't as bad as reddit. They only pipe up over their own personal hobby horses and not every single goddam post like the other place.

I'm not seeing give-aways either. The focus, specular, and shading seem legit. That's where amateurs go wrong. If fake it's pro.

I still have my first PhotoShoped image from 1993. I scanned my girlfriend's photo, did some basic designs to it, and B&W laser printed it at the University Of Windsor. High-tech back then.
