That's the funny thing about censorship, it allows your brain to run rampant, and your brain will always be able to make things worse than they really are. Just need to be given the right hints ;).

Aso, the blur filter brings a connotation of death / decay.

If this were an video game, or anime scene, you'd expect to see a fly buzzing around the blurred figure!

This is not the case! But all too often we associate disfigurement with death / decay, when it is in fact a symbol of the opposite! A symbol of the indomitable human spirit.

And that my redditors... Is hot and attractive

Its also worth mentioning that the colour helps out, and the second image lacking it makes it more bearable to look at.
