You’re going to spend all that time photo shopping a woman with beans in her hair, but you’re not going to use a still of Anne Margaret from the movie “Tommy”? The only woman to look hot while covered in beans, chocolate, and soap simultaneously? You primate!?!?
I ended up using a cam for a movie from 2009 to check to see if the movie had differences between the theater version and the DVD release. It didn't but it was neat that I could, 15 years later.
So I respect it, but also, good god will I never actually watch them for the actual movie itself.
Probably because it used to be that being ostracized from our towns/clans/whathaveyou was basically a death sentence.
Getting criticized for something could potentially lead to the town/your family driving you out. Either through the people listening to the complaints deciding you weren’t ‘good’ for the town, or others dogpiling on with their own complaints, real or imagined.
You have to remember, there were bandits, wild animals, and deadly weather outside the protection of our small groups. And that’s assuming you got to survive the ostracizing in the first place.
The Bible gives a rather chilling example: if your kid is disobedient or troublesome, drag them to the front of the town and loudly criticize their behavior. Then, it is the moral imperative of the town to assist you in stoning your kid to death.
With things like that being a social norm, is it any wonder we developed a fear of criticism?
The Joann Fabric and Crafts near me stopped offering a restroom to customers during Covid and never went back (understandable). But knowing that I can’t go while I’m there has created a situation where nothing makes me need to take a shit more urgently than browsing fabric and craft supplies. Luckily there is a Target next door.
