    But I’m sure you have no issue with a political cartoonist drawing an unflattering image of Trump or Musk that hyperbolizes their less flattering aspects.

    Art satirizing power is as old as time.

      I don’t think I need to explain the difference between a clearly satirical drawn image vs a convincing looking photo that has been altered disingenuously.

          Y’all are cooked if you can’t see how those things differ.

          If you take a drawn cartoon of Elon and that picture of Elon and just send them out into wild without any additional information or context nobody is going to share the cartoon under the false assumption that it’s real. The altered photo will absolutely trick most people as evidence that many people here didn’t know this image wasn’t real right away.

          Having the viewer be aware of the exaggeration is important.
