Screenshotting, compression, people screwing with people, different monitors, different phones, etc. all contributed to the confusion ultimately. It's not accurate to say we were all looking at the same image with the dress. But yet those visual/mental phenomenons are also real.

I wasn't saying everyone was looking at the same image. I'm saying the optical illusion still works when using a single image.

Sure but I never disputed that. I’m saying this effects are real and there was some confusion due to the above.

You disputed that right here:

It’s not accurate to say we were all looking at the same image with the dress.

Why would you bring this up if not because of my comment?

I’m saying I didn’t dispute the optical illusions/visual fuckery occurring. That’s not incompatible with the other contributing factors I listed. Does that make sense?
