Why stop here? Let's legally forbid makeup. Think about tone-evening creams, for example, what they do to truth!

- mosselman 7y agoClear strawman fallacy here. I did not say 'forbid'. I said that it should be made clear that the images are doctored. Besides, there is a big difference between make-up, that anyone could theoretically apply to look like someone in real-life and what people use photoshop for in the images we are talking about.
- brokenkebab 7y agoI would call it reductio ad absurdum. But that's not the point as I wasn't refuting any arguments you made (you didn't any), but making fun of what I see as a knee-jerk reaction of calling for a new law on every minor occasion. Btw, your final para: do you mean that only privileged people can apply "beatification" effects on their phitos? FWIW make-up is much more expensive.
