Describing dithering as scary is wild

The thing is that the image can change entirely, say from a gunny cat picture to an image of a dog.

  • And that "trick" has been used in imageboards with thumbnails for a very long time to get people to click and see a full image while they otherwise wouldn't.

    • Sure, but back then it was "haha you've been pranked! and yes, that guy is actually wearing a wedding band!"

      Now... with chat control and similar alternatives and AI looking at your images and reporting to authorities, you might get into actual trouble because of that.
