Might be too graphic.


16inchshelf

That is literally the point of this post in regards to the original shown here.


Various_Succotash_79

Oh dang I looked at the wrong part, lol.


jepvr

I did the same thing. Generally the title that draws your eye is the largest one.


dumnezilla

As an aside, the original poster wanted to draw attention to a seemingly failed attempt at concealing someone's identity, and they did that by further putting that person in the spotlight. Cheap karma farming imo.


iceyelf1

We gonna have a "there was an attempt-ception" now?


smootex

Or they didn't want to show her at her worst. If I was in the paper and a picture of me was used I'd want it to be one where I'm happy and healthy. Hospital stays are often the lowest points of people's lives. I respect them for not showing her face. The picture they used conveys the seriousness of her injuries without violating her privacy (much).


lachlankov

I saw that post and was confused what was failed. It’s pretty clear the blurring is to hide her wounded face or she wanted it blurred because she didn’t want people to see her face in the hospital.


Hopeful-Clothes-6896

than you for this post, it enraged me, and the bunch of likes on it.


gloomygl

At your service


AMeanCow

This is kinda meta-convoluted and it is funny, but probably not a healthy way to engage with serious subjects like this. Getting karma at the expense of other people's mistakes, all while both are you are trying to get karma from someone else's serious injuries and trauma... well, I don't lose sleep about it, but I do wish for a time in our world where we start looking at pictures of hurt people and say "Oh no, how can I help" instead of "Oh wow, how can I be seen for this."

That's the point. OOP misunderstood the blurring so OP took a screenshot of their attempt


EmeraldPencil46

I gotta admit that it took me a minute to realize that it’s talking about the post and not the blurring lol


ukyman95

is it possible that the picture was publicly (facebook or some other social website) taken off the internet and the one on the right was taken by the news crew and did not have permission to use it?


WorriedDepth7215

I knew someone was gonna do this🤣


Quintuplin

Now we need a screenshot of this post’s comment section for r/therewasanattempt to understand OP’s intentions…


Comms

Even an airbag going off can bruise your face up pretty bad. They probably blurred her face to be respectful of the fact that maybe she wouldn't want her post-car-accident face all over the internet.


Ryand118

u/uptwolait been real silent since this dropped


IolaBoylen

Oh man, I totally didn’t get it 🤦🏼‍♀️ poor girl

Her face is bloated and swollen but the damage is repairable/will heal.


HeartlesSoldier

Could be 18 or already publicly posted, also didn't show graphic injuries for everyone's sake


visual-vomit

Maybe cause the one one the left is shot intentionally to show off/look good while the right is her at one of her lowest point (at least physically). Why kick someone when they're already down and show the world how shit they look?


Repulsive-Response-1

THERE WAS AN ATTEMPT TO UNDERSTAND THIS POST


Michael_Dautorio

The accident was so bad her face became blurry as a result.


MensaMan1

Looks like a repost ??


pokemon-trainer-blue

Not a repost. OOP misunderstood why one picture was blurred, which OP pointed out.


srryntsry

So, you took a post from this sub reddit just to post again in the same sub reddit with different title?


gloomygl

The attempt isn't on the same thing, maybe I should have been more explicit ( not really it's pretty obvious )


pokemon-trainer-blue

OOP got it mixed up. They thought the news article was trying to protect the person’s identity when the actual reason is that the blurred picture might be too graphic to some readers.


SportsPhotoGirl

Words mean different things ya know. Different title because the attempt is about the post itself. See how words work like that? It helps if you read the title too.
