Matt Haughey can’t stop/won’t stop photoshopping dildos into pictures of Republicans who are trying to look tough as they hold guns:
Yes, it’s very juvenile, and I know it’s fairly pointless, but I wanted to rob the original images of any power they hold by making the same subjects appear ridiculous when the photos were altered. That’s all there is to it.
…
The strangest reaction to me is when someone finds these images “hateful”. I’ve seen the word pop up a few times in responses, and it really throws me how something as harmless as a dildo crudely added to an image is seen as hateful, as if the original photo of someone proudly displaying a weapon capable of ending anyone’s life instantly is instead seen as righteous. That right there? That is a set of priorities that are fucked up, full stop.
I support Matt Haughey’s efforts. It’s a great project for an important cause and I helped him source a few photos early on. I look forward to a time when there are no more photos left for him to ‘shop.
