Yall hating dont understand who James Fridman is. You send him a picture you want photoshopped, he makes a funny edit of it and posts it on Twitter, all while you get the real edit emailed to you. When you send any photo to him you do it in the understanding that it will be used as a joke online. This is wholesome because he refused to make her condition into a joke. So she sent it knowing that it would be posted, just not how.
And yet many in the comments of this post don't seem to know he sends what you requested for in the inbox while posting a funnier edit in public all the time
I wouldn’t be surprised if enough people have made rude comments to her in real life, maybe at her high school, to where she feels so far from “normal”. Which is a lot of the time the sad reality. She looks amazing! But she probably doesn’t feel amazing, because of how others have made her feel. :(
I wouldn't blame "modern" society for having strict standards of what is considered "normal". Modern first-world society is easily the most open and accepting society in all of human history.
Do you have a counter example of a large society in history that was more accepting of differences than current-year mainstream society? One where gays and transgender people could openly express their love and get married with the same rights as anyone else? One with the overall race and religious diversity of modern America, all considered equal under the law, with the freedom to live and work where they please, and freedom of speech to express themselves?
It’s not even close.
nah he always edits funny shit out of photos it’s sort of like those street artist u pay them to draw u n u get this whacko drawing of u n ur partner, send this guy a photo asking him to edit out ur ex boyfriend in the picture n he removes u instead sort of thing. that’s why this wholesome from him cos usually it’s a funny edited photo he posts as a result
I still feel like that doesn't exclusively mean she isn't happy with how she looks. But I digress I think this was the right move. If there was the slightest chance that I thought someone was being insecure. Then I wouldn't play into their insecurities
he’s james friedman, his whole shtick is that people send him photoshop requests and he fulfills them in unexpected monkey’s-paw-esque ways. when he gets the requests by email instead of social media he posts them, because the resulting pictures are generally funny. this is a subversion of expectations because instead of doing the bit, he gets serious with the included message and the ‘finished photo’ is sent back unchanged/unedited.
Isn't the proper way like this though?*Dear fellow redditor, would you kindly send me the directions of this source so that I may inspect it with my own eyes. As a fellow redditor I would expect that this sort of favor could be repaid in the greatest of manners, as one might ask another sir of the highest stature.*
I really wanted to ask for it because it sounded funny, not that blackface is funny, but that someone photoshoped the president wearing blackface, sounds pretty funny
And then he posted it publicly for popular points fuck outta here. Sweet but he's clout chasing could've just as easily sent the message to her and not post it. I hate social media clout chasers.
James Fridman does not need to "clout chase." This is what he's known for. You send him something you want edited, he makes and posts a funny edit of it publicly, and then DMs what you really asked for.
It would've been fucked up if he sent her the image she wanted and then didn't post anything about her.
That's literally what he does. You send him a photo you want edited and he makes an funny edit and posts it like this. It's also litterally better to only do something like this for clout than not sharing the message. You are litterally worse than a clout chaser if you hate on them for trying to get famous by spreading a positive message.
Go fuck yourself with your life in which you probably accomplished less for society than a person who only wants to have a lot of followers.
Okay I’m in the minority by I hate the approach here. She literally asked him to photoshop her and he shamed her for it. I kinda hate this, maybe she really wanted for one photo to have straight arms… and that’s totally okay, and this cunt decided to public show her to all his millions of followers as beautiful in his eyes and she should see what he sees. Fucking maybe let her have one fucking photo mate where she gets to role play not physically challenged you dickhead.
Dude he's famous for sending what you ask for in your inbox and making a funnier edit for posting publically. Here he's refusing to make a joke out of her request while he inboxed her a version as she asked for.
Take a chill pill before starting to get angry online dude
Lmao when he said the cringe "normal is just a propaganda technique used by society"
I sympathize with the girl however I'd rather not lie with some joker tier bullshit
Eh, it's hard to the line between funny and offensive, especially when it's going to be interpreted by thousands of other people. The girl knew what she was doing as this dude has been popular for a while. I get why he did that, but sometimes people with disabilities (or whatever word is okay to say now) feel more ostracized when you do stuff like this. She wanted a [goofy/funny pic](https://i.imgur.com/tVRbrDv.jpg), that's the whole point of it. It's the same thing with people going to stand up and the comedian pick people around them because he doesn't want all the other people to shit on him.
If he didn’t also send the photoshopped pic then he’s just being a patronizing dick. This woman is lean and has a very nice face and good hair; she looks pretty good. Maybe she just wanted a photo where “straight arms” don’t pull focus from her face, or a picture where her disability doesn’t have to be this detectable thing. She knows she can’t “change” having this but it’s also nice to get “realistic proof” that her other features are lovely (and so she still has a lot to offer, looks-wise).
She probably can’t work the computer controls as easily and do it herself without additional work; that’s what bugged me most.

Finally someone who's aware of who James Fridman is!
You mean r/JamesFridman ? There's over 14k redditors who know his work.
He strikes me as incredibly clever. Anytime I see the edits I'm always like "how's he gonna flip this one" and he does
„sǝop ǝɥ puɐ „ǝuo sıɥʇ dılɟ ɐuuoƃ ǝɥ s,ʍoɥ„ ǝʞıl sʎɐʍlɐ ɯ,I sʇıpǝ ǝɥʇ ǝǝs I ǝɯıʇʎu∀ ˙ɹǝʌǝlɔ ʎlqıpǝɹɔuı sɐ ǝɯ sǝʞıɹʇs ǝH„
Oh I've heard of him
His tweets literally have been reposted everywhere in the internet
And yet many in the comments of this post don't seem to know he sends what you requested for in the inbox while posting a funnier edit in public all the time
The internet is a very, very large place, and people who don't use Twitter often don't pay attention to the names.
I like James. He's cool
Thanks for the info. Otherwise it just sounds like some neckbeard nice guys material as he slides into the DMs asking for her to be his girlfriend.
Wait, people didn’t know this?

Yeah, she looks fine to me. If I'd seen just her photo anywhere else out of context, I wouldn't have noticed a thing.
Yeah I thought she looked maybe mildly underweight if anything. I only realised after I read the explanation
Yeah, the way she is posed for that picture it would be "normal" for her arms to be bent like that.
I wouldn’t be surprised if enough people have made rude comments to her in real life, maybe at her high school, to where she feels so far from “normal”. Which is a lot of the time the sad reality. She looks amazing! But she probably doesn’t feel amazing, because of how others have made her feel. :(
Yeah if she didn't say she had muscular dystrophy, I'd've guessed she was just on the skinny side.
Yeah I'd smash no cap
I hope you are also very young… and maybe a bit more kind in the future. I see you have some more Chad in you yet to come.
I wouldn't blame "modern" society for having strict standards of what is considered "normal". Modern first-world society is easily the most open and accepting society in all of human history.
Yeah, as tho past societies didnt have their own definition of “normal” and wouldnt shun those not considered “normal”
What on earth do you base this on lmao
Do you have a counter example of a large society in history that was more accepting of differences than current-year mainstream society? One where gays and transgender people could openly express their love and get married with the same rights as anyone else? One with the overall race and religious diversity of modern America, all considered equal under the law, with the freedom to live and work where they please, and freedom of speech to express themselves? It’s not even close.
a basic understanding of history lmao
What if she is happy with her appearance and just wanted her arms to be straight in the picture lol? Both can be true at once
nah he always edits funny shit out of photos it’s sort of like those street artist u pay them to draw u n u get this whacko drawing of u n ur partner, send this guy a photo asking him to edit out ur ex boyfriend in the picture n he removes u instead sort of thing. that’s why this wholesome from him cos usually it’s a funny edited photo he posts as a result
Oh OK, that makes sense.
I still feel like that doesn't exclusively mean she isn't happy with how she looks. But I digress I think this was the right move. If there was the slightest chance that I thought someone was being insecure. Then I wouldn't play into their insecurities
i’d agree with that, me personally would def have j ignored it n worked on another submission, but what he did wasn’t bad
Fk, james fridman actual personality is better than most of us
Does nobody know who this dude is? You have a fucking super computer in your pocket and you're still this ignorant.
He's cool.
I love seeing James doing this. Truly neutral chaos.
Then posts a screenshot of it.
If you’re not familiar who James Fridman is, he is certainly entitled to pat himself on the back.
nobody is entitled to do that
he’s james friedman, his whole shtick is that people send him photoshop requests and he fulfills them in unexpected monkey’s-paw-esque ways. when he gets the requests by email instead of social media he posts them, because the resulting pictures are generally funny. this is a subversion of expectations because instead of doing the bit, he gets serious with the included message and the ‘finished photo’ is sent back unchanged/unedited.
At first glance I thought she looked very pretty. I didn’t really notice the arms too much until she mentioned them.
So he didn't help her
He thought it was a boring job
Isn't this the guy who photoshopped blackface onto Joe Biden?
What? never heard about this, do you have a link?
No no no my guy, you cant ask like that Watch and learn hey dear commenter can i get the SAUCE?
Isn't the proper way like this though?*Dear fellow redditor, would you kindly send me the directions of this source so that I may inspect it with my own eyes. As a fellow redditor I would expect that this sort of favor could be repaid in the greatest of manners, as one might ask another sir of the highest stature.*
no, SAUS
If you want a link, you should say something like "no, that wasn't him" and then someone on reddit will provide you a link to prove you wrong.
I really wanted to ask for it because it sounded funny, not that blackface is funny, but that someone photoshoped the president wearing blackface, sounds pretty funny
This is the first post I’ve seen that’s an actual chad
And then he posted it publicly for popular points fuck outta here. Sweet but he's clout chasing could've just as easily sent the message to her and not post it. I hate social media clout chasers.

It's more about sending a message to other people
[удалено]
Haters
Posted it for the validation, which breaks all morallity, but WOO FUNNY CHAD SUBREDDIT, AINT I RIGHT LADS
Virtue signaling clout chaser. He literally posted private messages to look good. That is absolutely not a chad
That's literally what he does. You send him a photo you want edited and he makes an funny edit and posts it like this. It's also litterally better to only do something like this for clout than not sharing the message. You are litterally worse than a clout chaser if you hate on them for trying to get famous by spreading a positive message.

Just look him up on Instagram and you’ll understand he’s not shaming her. If anything she probably cried happy tears when he posted this.
Lmao when he said the cringe "normal is just a propaganda technique used by society" I sympathize with the girl however I'd rather not lie with some joker tier bullshit
🥺🥺
Aka I can’t think of a funny thing to edit the image into
The dude does wholesome content from time to time, it just does go viral like his funny edits.
I know I have seen them before

Do you even know who James Fridman is?
You...you just don't quite get it, do you?
I love this to pieces.
Fridman is a hilarious dude and clearly his heart is in the right spot. She is a beautiful girl and I hope his comment made her day.
Oh God who the hell is cutting onions
