My issue with (manipped) whitewashed eyes.
Sorry for this, if you're a lover of whitewashed eyes. As a manipper, I just can't stand them. For multiple reasons, mind you. I just want to give my take on the matter and hear other's opinions, be them agreeing or disagreeing. With that being said, here are two reasons I dislike whitewashed eyes.
1. They just seem lazy. This one's not exactly a provable issue, just, it infuriates me to no end when someone does a poor manip and then tries to lump it in with the rest. Certainly I've had badly done manips before but at least I tried to change them rather than just layering a color on a specific part of a picture. And before someone makes the 'differing level of skill' argument, even starting out, I've seen some manippers do a much better job than some poorly-done eyes.
2. They are, by definition, solid-eye manips. Yet they get a free pass because people associate them with hypnosis. This one bothers me greatly for a multitude of reasons. When someone does a poor job of spiral eyes and it's obvious little effort is put in, the picture is flagged and removed. When someone puts a color over some eyeballs, and it's obvious that very little work was put in, it just seems to be accepted. They're also more acceptable than other solid-eye manips just due to recognizability, but, here's the thing.....The site's called Hypno-Hub. Nobody will come here looking for anything OTHER than hypno-porn and the hypno community. I don't think that removing pictures with whitewashed eyes will cause everyone to panic and forget this is a Hypnosis site.
Like I said, just my view on the matter, but, you're more than free to discuss below. With that being said, My opinion on the matter is that we should either revise the policy about solid-eye color manips, or revise our policy around whitewashed eyes. Nice venting here, I look forward to what you all say.
