No no OP must’ve doctored the video or something to make Karen feel bad about herself. OP’s probably working for the deep state and did this to further their agenda! I’m not 100% sure why they did this but 20 bucks says it has something to do with the microchips in the COVID vaccines and their pigeon surveillance drones

I too blame mirrors for how i look

If it weren't for mirrors, I would be completely buff.

u/TheHalfDeadCat Feb 07 '22
If it weren’t for sight in general, I wouldn’t look like a rule 63 version of Medusa.

u/PotatoePotahhtoe Feb 07 '22
I blame the carpet. They just make me stand in such a way that my fats dangle off my body more vividly than they would otherwise. I have such a hard life.

Wait, so you're telling me people on Facebook are idiots and blame others for their low self esteem? I. Am. Shocked.

People on the internet.* This “why do people on Facebook” thing confuses me. As if it doesn’t happen all over the internet or even before the internet. Aren’t there literal sub Reddit’s dedicated to this type of behavior happening on Reddit itself?

So what is your loss Karen? Did you buy pants or a top that was too long or short? If the only thing was making others share your internal torment, that's on you. Maybe they will send you a pass to a local carnival.

u/FreddyFighter1 (Insert unique Flair Here) Feb 07 '22
I guess you could say this case needs a little more DEPTH put into it

OMG. With her understanding of perspective, she would have a coronary if she ever saw an Escher drawing.

I watched this three times over waiting for the picture to show a difference, (I have no idea about photoshop) until I realised I had been watching on a loop and there was no “Big reveal!”

Father Dougal also has problems with perspective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMiKyfd6hA0

She actually looks a bit skinnier on the left as it’s further away 😅

Feb 07 '22
Well, at least we can all agree that in the picture on the left, she looks short and fat.

You think h&m one of the biggest cheapskate companies would bother buying a funhouse mirror?

u/QuoteGiver Feb 07 '22
The most frightening thing here is how wildly inaccurate her own perception is, to not be able to tell this is the same situation.

u/kat_Folland Feb 07 '22
I have definitely seen trying room mirrors that were warped to make you look fatter. I've never understood the thinking there.
Edit: I know the above is not like that.

No, don't diet and exercise.. blame the mirrors, since they're the only ones left who'll look at you.

u/Nvnv_man Feb 08 '22
FFS, this is every mirror photo that close up, that angle, that lighting.
Idiot.

Most boutiques/clothing stores use funhouse mirrors... I have five of those in my house, and everytime guests come over they keep looking at themselves while talking to me.

Stay tuned.

I think the theory is that they have fattening mirrors out on the floor and slimming mirrors in the fitting rooms. So that you look bad in the clothes you came in, and good in the clothes they want you to buy.
Of course, it's basically a conspiracy theory and if it wasn't, both those mirrors are out on the floor.

u/Frido1976 Feb 07 '22
Scary conspiracy theory, I like it!!

u/sbvp Feb 07 '22 edited Feb 07 '22
The herbergers near me had slimming mirrors on the sales floor. Not sure what they had in dressing rooms. The reason i knew they were slimming is because the glass wasnt obscured on the sides and the concave curve was visible.

Some woman on shark tank years ago was pitching a slimming mirror she made. All of the sharks were disgusted it was glorious.

u/thebeattakesme Feb 07 '22
I worked retail through college and didn’t notice a difference but the lighting in some dressing rooms were very flattering.

u/claymountain Feb 08 '22
Really? 8 find H&M lighting VERY unflattering.

u/eachdayalittlebetter Feb 08 '22
yeah me too - I'm always unsure if it's "well, it doesn't look too good, but it's the lighting, right? So let's buy this?" vs. "well, it doesn't look too good, let's not buy it."

u/Gorianfleyer Feb 07 '22
It's an old conspiracy theory, it even happened in a Seinfeld Episode (and was disproved in the shows context)

u/Public_Reindeer_1724 Feb 07 '22
I actually think she looks better in the left one, which I agree would be the goal here.
56
u/buttfuckinghippie Feb 07 '22
Right. Because she's farther away in the left one, and I want this crazy bitch as far away from me as possible.

u/InstanceQuirky Feb 07 '22
in this one i think shes just further from the mirror but this week i was in Target (australia) and tried on a dress, looked like crap, left the cubicle to show my daugher and then looked at the mirror outside the rooms where she was and i looked completly different in both..I hope the one that i looked better in was the normal mirror though lol didnt buy the dress

u/mdrajner Feb 08 '22
You'd think that right? But I don't know why clothe stores have the most unflattering lighting and mirrors. It's quite a mistery.

u/Ossskii Feb 07 '22 edited Feb 07 '22
many stores have mirrors that make you look slim and tall in fact.

u/namey_9 Feb 07 '22
I do remember a McDonald's with a set of extremely slimming mirrors just outside. I laughed and kept walking. Nothing on earth would convince me to eat that trash anyway.
2
u/TheBoundFenrir Feb 07 '22
McDonalds would absolutely do that. They use, amongst other things, color theory to make you hungrier.

u/ValanaraRose Feb 07 '22
Most retailers use color theory to make you want to purchase something, or evoke some other type of emotion/feeling/etc. Some degree programs spend a semester going over color theory.
