Why are they all so orange?
Why are they all so orange?
A high enough dose of UV would definitely kill the brain worms.
Yeeting them into the sun would be a proper posology.

Even Reagan would be like
Reagan was evil, but he subtly evil. He got off on getting his agenda across just with charm. He’d be flipping out about how overtly evil today’s malefactors are operating
The bull in a china shop approach is only going to provoke backlash
Reagan would not approve
The unfunny answer is likely that somebody tweaked the picture to up the orange, because haha funny. Especially likely since the reverse image search pulls up reddit as the first source. Finding pictures that were from the same event, most people are noticeably less orange colored. Even RFK who does have an orange ting isn’t oompla loompa colored like in the OP picture.
If you don’t want to see the difference in the hue/saturation between the photos, I think continuing back and forth would be pointless. The colors are to my eye, clearly tweaked. In the OP image even Ronald Reagan looks like he used a little spray tan.
I touched on this above but did a very quick modification on mobile and only adjusted black levels. Not warmth, hue, saturation etc. The man is, unquestionably, of the “fake tan / orange” variety - and the woman, while more “natural,” is effectively leather. I left our head dried apricot in charge out of the picture because he is easily the worst one in the image. The painting is catching some bad light - but it’s still a bit too washed out regardless.

Black levels eyeballed:
Sure. There are absolutely people in that photo who have a normal skin tone. If the saturation were being brutally jacked up to make RFK look orange then they too would be off color completely (most likely beet red.) The point I was getting at is this doesn’t take much modification (even to fairly benign levels like my example shows) to land him firmly in the topic’s question.
Yes - the observation is being made because it’s funny; but if we’re being honest - the pictures don’t really need all that much assistance to make OPs point, though.
While I won’t disagree that someone upped the saturation on the above photo slightly - and slightly is the key here: it easily could have been auto corrected to that level on a simple photo editor automatically. I wouldn’t be comfortable with malice being the underlying reason for what appears to be an attempt to make the photo look less washed out - which your example appears to be.
The problem is a lot of these people are positively off of an actual human color. Spray / fake tan or years of sun exposure and subsequent damage. Take your pick. Either way: correcting color without intentionally distorting the spectrum to make them look ‘normal’ is not kind to most of the people in the original photo… and not drastically far off from what it appears to be.
Disclaimer: I’m not looking at this at the office where I have a display that has been properly calibrated - but I’m reasonably certain of my assessment.
They’re Terminators, but from the Idiocracy universe
The 600 series had rubber skin. We spotted them easy, but these are new. They look human - sweat, bad breath, shitty spray-on tanner, everything. Very hard to spot.
It's en vogue now.
You know like Kim Young In is the most powerful in North Korea so being fat like him exudes strength and power and is admired by everyone.
I guess the Dons orangeness does the same to Americans.
Comments like this is why incels are creepy, and also why they are incels. But they blame woke and feminism for their own creepy behavior.
Would be sad, really, if they weren’t so hateful.
Not saying the above commenter is an incel. But this is the type of comment I would expect from someone who identifies with that community, so I thought I would take the opprotunity to point it out.
Seeing Cheryl Hines there makes the “episode is over and Larry David is screwed” music play in my head.
America is Larry David
