Yes of course, personal photos. It should be read as those who wanted to share have already shared
It would be nice if this wouldn't get out of hand here too. 🙏 For me they are like other "fake" pictures. They shouldn't be posted imho. Of course I'm really glad we have apps like this; and with some pictures it can really work, AND I'm also NOT against edits. But in the last months, this is one of the things that really bother me in the fandom. These pics will continue to get shared by fans, so they will become a norm. So, it would be nice to have a space that cares about that. Good idea, though I don't know if we have good way to spot such edits.
they are pretty obvious, because Michael doesn't look like Michael anymore.
I know that not everyone sees it, I have a friend that has some kind of face blindness herself, so I get when people don't see a difference. But for other fans it's probably also pretty weird seeing these edits all the time.
No, you're not pedantic. I've seen stuff like this and I really dislike it. It seems obvious to me that they've been 'shopped or altered or whatever. Also, most of them aren't even attractive and I know that is totally not the point. It's just the fact of fake photos being circulated at all, that is what is wrong. But it pours salt into the wound when the end result is so horrible and Michael himself was so beautiful.OKAY GUYS! I will link some different pictures I randomly found now. Nothing against the people that edited them or posted them.
Other opinions on this would be really interesting to me. I wonder how pedantic I am compared to other fans. Tell me if you all think I'm crazy for caring too much
Yeah, there are some "old" edits that you see all the time. They are part of this fandom now. Many times someone will point out that it's a fan edit. And fan edits itself are fine! Also when someone takes the time to really enhance a picture and shares it with the community.

I'll be honest, some of these Photoshops look... kinda unsettling? Like something is just very "off" on them. Granted I'm not always able to spot Photoshop yet (sadly; Lord knows how many times I've messed up in that regard) but I always try my best; point still stands that most of those photos look so, so weird! I do not like them at all. Honestly I just really don't understand the appeal of this Photoshop stuff, there are so many stunning real photos of Michael out there! Heck it's not just about Michael, even; I don't know how common this stuff is in other fan communities, but I wouldn't like it then either. It's just... odd. I'd much rather see full-on fan art if people want to see their Michael-oriented imaginations come to life. Much more creative too, in my opinion!OKAY GUYS!

so , for any newbies, Here's Michael with Treach, Vinnie and Kgee (Naughty by Nature) and heavy D is there too.
lol
ooh thats hot
Michael has some attitude!
actully i know for certain thats D but ...that front guy isnt Teddy is it? it kind of looks like Nas ...but i doubt it would be the N|Y state of mind lol can anyone tell me who these two rappers are ?(Re?)Posting these! i promise you faithfully these are genuine, from 1992- not shopped !
- For me... certain Jam photos are still quite rare cause the new fans would probably not know about Kris kelly and Kris Smith ..
(Kris Kross ) .Just Sayin
Welp.
Michael with Heavy D again .. and thingy and thingy.
