> It should not be hard to understand why that statement can be seen as insulting.
It's very hard to understand. It doesn't make sense that a criticism of the camera would be an insult to the subjects of the photo.
The criticism is that the image isn't an accurate representation of the subjects. If B is bad, and B != A, it doesn't follow that A is bad.
You take a picture of your wife with your phone. You show it to a coworker. They tell you that your wife looks like a reptile wearing a rubber face mask.
Your reaction is?
a. “Yeah, the slight over processing definitely turned my wife into a lizard person.”
b. “Fuck you.”
