cumskin_genocide,

It sucks that this unflattering portrait is put in a museum and my unflattering portrait of the whore who turned me down isn’t in one.

Stay humble, bitch.

secretlyaddictedtolinux,

Even if you want to be mad at her for being rich and being part of the oligopoly that is creating suffering and impending environmental doom, can you blame her for requesting the portrait be taken down? It’s really unflattering and doesn’t look that much like her. She didn’t demand it, she asked. No one likes being humiliated, and that portrait probably made her feel terrible. There’s nothing wrong with making a request, most people in her position would do the same.

She should create a foundation to called “The Institute for Reduced World Suffering” and make the charter bylaws include her picture on anything sent out, any website, any marketing material, and her photo must be on any material generated by the organization, and it can only be 1 type of picture that she chooses, then she should have an artist do a really flattering picture of her that makes her look nice. In the Institute’s first year, she should offer 10 10,000 grants to those who study reduced world suffering and in announcing the grants opportunity she could include her picture in the advertisements. She could let anyone apply and she chooses the winners. She could turn a strange situation into something wonderful if she wants.

NikkiDimes,

Okay, I don’t mean to be rude, but fucking what

secretlyaddictedtolinux,

if only i had written “stay humble, bitch” the people of lemmy would like me 😭

Blackmist,

Surely there’s a billboard near her home that they can put that on?

lovesickoyster,

no sense of humour, so sad.

MrShankles,

She’d have done better claiming, “It doesn’t even look like me‽ Kind of a shit artist imo, if we’re all just being honest.”

Apparently, there’s no going back from the Streisand effect. And now, here we all are, looking at her actual gremlin face… understanding that the painting is somehow true. She should have let it go

FiniteBanjo,

This is the image.

As Australia’s only Barbi-llionaire, I vote to replace her portrait with a funny portrait of me in the exhibition instead.

Sculptor9157,

Ugh.

Daft_ish,

I will never not appreciate the Streisand effect.

chemicalprophet,

Best of luck. Get back under your bridge! Shoo!

I think it’s funny how on .ml I can’t call this woman a bitch, but I can say I want to cut off her head and eat her liver.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot, (edited )

It’s because no one’s actually going to cut off her head, so it’s okay to fantasize about it. If it becomes common to call her a bitch it could impact her reputation and cause people to take her less seriously, which would make it harder for her to get good terms in business negotiations, affecting her bottom line. .ml is a tool of the oligarchy.

wurzelgummidge,

ml is a tool of the oligarchy.

All social media is, or becomes it very quickly. Controlling the narrative is a vital strategic asset.

People hated how poorly the bust was made to the point that it was removed in a couple of weeks and replaced with a bust by an anonymous sculptor.

CanadaPlus,

The weird thing is, it’s not terrible, except the eyes are way too close together. How do you make that mistake?

ripcord,
@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

It’s like 80% of the way to being good, which leaves it in the uncanny valley

FiniteBanjo,

The sculptor was a very good sculptor, but this bust was terrible.

ipkpjersi,

I think it’s a pretty accurate drawing, seems like art to me.

Hackworth,

Agreed, though it’s A.I. generated.

FiniteBanjo,

Wrong, the artist is an Australian aboriginal named Vincent Namatjira, the great grandson of Arrente watercolour artist Albert Namatjira.

Hackworth,

Right, A.I. Aboriginal Illustrator.

FiniteBanjo,

Are you having a seizure?

Hackworth,

Australian Imagineer?

FiniteBanjo,

Thats better

CanadaPlus,

Ba-dum-tss!

itsmect,

Only commenting to give this post even more engagement, lol

Edit: Bump

ouRKaoS,

Ahem.

The proper internet terminology is:

“Bump.”
