Apple and Adobe Slammed for ‘Sexist’ Photoshop Fix Demo That Made a Woman Smile

Noticed this news was not shared, so here it is

Apple and Adobe sparked some unintended controversy yesterday after unveiling and demonstrating the new iPad Pro. Adobe mobile design director, Eric Snowden, took to the stage and showed off a new app called Adobe Fix, which offers powerful face detection features for mobile photo retouching. This is the mobile Photoshop app that was previously referred to as Project Rigel.

As an example of the app’s powers, Snowden showed how the app can easily turn a woman’s neutral expression into a smile. The demo drew some chuckles from the audience, but journalists and commentators immediately turned to social media to condemn the demo as sexist.

“I’m not quite happy with the model’s smile,” Snowden said, after opening up the portrait in a page mockup. “I wish she had just a little bit more of a smile. I think it’d warm up the design quite a bit.”

Snowden then loads the photo into Photoshop Fix, selects the lips, and drags a slider to instantly give the woman a smile. You can see the demo at about 38.5 minutes in the Apple event replay. Here’s a short clip of the exact moment:

“The move is being called ‘tone-deaf’ and unfortunate, given the tech industry has been in the firing line lately for its lack of diversity,” writes the New York Times. Mashable adds: “Apple, let’s not force women to smile at your Keynote event.”

Here’s a sampling of reactions on Twitter from journalists and others:

I imagine putting "extremely easily offended" on the CV is a major plus in many professions these days?

Not remotely sexist.

Someone must need page views this week to keep their job.

No, instead they write:

Experienced team player, strong interpersonal skills, competitive organizational abilities, reliable and committed. Excellent work history.

Can it fix my flaccid dick to look like it's hard? That red lipstick is disgusting.

No. The image is retouched, of course, but that is a hot girl. There is nothing "disgusting" about the red lipstick; it's an appropriate adornment for this doe-eyed slut. If you can't see the virtues of that mouth wearing that lipstick wrapped around your cock, there is a problem.

No peak idiocy is reached when shit actually reaches the fan. In the book Influence there is a story about a cult believing in the coming end of the world who actually got firmer in their belief when nothing happened on the promised day. The next story in the book is sadly about People's Temple.

Apple and Adobe should double-down. The ensuing media circus would give unbelievable exposure to their product.

First, show a demo of the software being used to make a woman's breasts appear several sizes bigger [Image: idea.gif]

Next, before the journalists even had a chance to send out the angry tweets they were preparing, use the software to turn a black woman white.

"My my, doesn't that just make the room warmer? Here, let's make her white."

Finally they should turn a picture of Obama into one of Donald Trump. Probably half the audience would die of brain hemorrhages on the spot, but the software would sell like hot cakes - its capability would be undeniable. [Image: banana.gif]

If I was CEO of apple, I'd run a campaign called "Sad Sluts" where every day for the next 6 months smiles would be added to photographs of media feminists until they shut the fuck up.

Not the best idea for business, you say? Bullshit. Apple is a company they wouldn't dream of boycotting, even if it turned out Syrian refugees were being ground into the paste they use to keep the CPUs from overheating. They are literally incapable of not buying Apple products. It is a biological need for them at this point. They might talk about never buying an iPhone again unless they get an apology, but I guarantee the second the iPhone 7 comes out they'd be rushing to the shops and all would be forgotten. Apple can do whatever the fuck it wants.

The funny thing about feminists vitriol about smiling is that smiling actually elevates your mood no matter what mood you're in. Even if you feel like shit, faking a smile improves your mood.

At least pretending to smile is exactly what these eternally pissed off uptight harpies need, might help them actually be cheerful and nice and maybe get attention from the men they secretly desire.

The same dumb bitches that are crying "SEXIST!" would be the same one's screaming "PATRIARCHY! WHY DIDN'T THEY USE A WOMAN'S FACE?!" if Adobe went with a man. It's a shit test by these mouthy broads that society has unfortunately given the voice to be allowed to. Apple & Adobe need to ignore these whiny fucks or agree & amplify and get them to shut the hell up.

Stealing this phrase for use in everyday conversation. Calls feminism out as the chronic, contagious (but preventable) disease that it is.
