TL;DR
- Pongu (romanization) is Korean slang for “fart.”
- TFG said “oranges” instead of “origins.”
- The title is meant to reduce anxiety, not increase it.
- Do we need a picture to stand in for TFG to protect our mental health?
As far as it goes, I’m pretty new here. I’ve written a few articles (some political) and read many more, and have seen multiple people agonize and complain over having to see DJT’s pictures in the articles they read. For some, it appears to causes anxiety, for some it bends their mood toward a negative trend, and others (like me) get sick to their stomach at having to see this shitbird traitor over and over.
The challenge is to have an image represent someone enough to work as a stand-in/analog, but not so much that the picture itself also induces the same bio responses as the original.
I’ve seen articles use pictures of flowers from their garden, pictures of pets, etc usually with a comment to the effect of “Thought you’d rather see this than….” Maybe it would be nice to have an ad hoc de facto sort of standard pic or pic theme, or maybe the meaning of the pic can be gleaned through the context of the title of the article. I dunno.
I generated a few images below as examples for discussion. The first three are just oranges in some context of a courtroom or government setting.
I was a little more creative with this one, being a pumpkin with a mop of hair on top sitting in a courtroom, but might be too on the nose?
Do we need a stand-in image for the Pongu Menace?
What do you think?
