Defaced image

The right has no talent.

I love it went from "superman punches ICE" to "ICE being punched in general".

Not sure they thought this one.

The insta post commented how it's a odd view to blot out Superman instead of the fed. If you had an issue with against feds being the villan then remove the fed. But no. The issue was apparently Superman punching the fed...

What a waste to deface art based on your own views of what your Superman represents.

Are there any surviving hi-res pictures of this mural before it was defaced? I want to turn it into my wallpaper and feed this Streisand effect.

This was the best I could find:

1486x1115

If anyone has a better version I'd love to get it!

Edit: This one crops nicely (just above supermans head and to the bottom of his left fist) and looks good enough on my 3440x1440 monitor, FWIW. I'll see how it looks on a 16:9 later, but I think the crop there will go to the outside arms, so also good!

I think the post image has a tighter vertical crop, but a higher resolution than this one.

I'm going to need to check from my desktop, I got a thumbnail version on mobile (and I'm lazy and just save to my nas from mobile)

Edit: Looking at it on the desktop, its a few.pixels taller and about 200 wider, but no change to the contents. I'm assuming the preview in the post was a stretch for lens correction or something, the one I found was an iPhone photo

I'm struggling to find the differences in the 2 photos. Am I totally shit faced or what

[–] mudstickmcgee@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

The picture is the non-defaced one, the ruined one is behind the insta link, looks like someone has blacked out superman, but I can't see the whole thing since I don't want to sell my soul to meta
