Young Lady or An Old Hag ?! | Mighty Optical Illusions

Sometimes we need better information to meet expectations, and my last efforts to get information have resulted in closed thread. I think there is a prejudice against me, that is like the ability to see the old hag or the pretty young woman. This makes it unsafe for me post here, because I think I am doing one, and what those in power see is something else. I hope you follow the link and see how what we see depends on how we look at things. In the meantime, I better stay gone for awhile because this problem is spinning out of control.

I have to come back so people don't think crazy. My latest closed thread was deleted, so I could look crazy for posting about all the closed threads. In that thread, I suggested when we get an infraction, the notice clarify why we have received the infraction. I asked why one moderator would give us 3 points when the next gives us no points. And I asked what makes the subject of trolling a site operations thread, instead of an Internet ethics thread? May be others do not feel a need for information, but I feel lost in a forest without information. How do we judge what we should do when we don't have the information necessary for the judgment?

I saw a young woman but my partner, a man, saw an old woman. I though he was the shallow one in our relationship!

I saw a young hag.
Seriously, it took me about 15 seconds to perceive anything but the young woman.

I doubt this means anythng at all.

I see a young woman with her face turned slightly away, the old hag is more of an example of pareidolia than a representation of a human face.

I saw the young lady at first, but then when looking at the white to see if i could make out a cliff, i saw the old lady without an eyeball. scary, especially after seeing the movie Drag me to Hell

Its design is primarily made in a way that you would have a greater chance of seeing the younger face first, due to proportions, as more detail seems to be focused on this appearance, while the old woman is less detailed and more abstract.

Besides the fact that the question starts with "Young Lady" you mentally begin to focus on that first.

I at first I saw the young lady glancing to the side, but eventually I could make out the hag, ultimately I decided they were both ugly, because of the fact that they were wearing fur...

Maybe they just didn't shave?

Looks like an old picture prior to the 80's.

I saw the young lady first, but now that old hag won't leave me alone lol

Clementine · Jul 1, 2009, 08:21 pm

Seen this one too many times. I see them both.

L00zer · Jul 2, 2009, 02:18 pm

I cant find the old hag...

I think the question led me to focus on the young lady, which is why I can't see the other woman.

Not safe to post?? Could you elaborate? I am not aware of your problem.

An on-going problem Athena, and the reason I will never contribute to volconvo whilst the present disrespectful system lasts.
