AccidentalRenaissance is for photos that look like Renaissance paintings.
This means that they look like Renaissance art in their composition, their coloring, their saturation, the angle of the scene, the types of settings, etc.
π Must be a photo. Not a meme, drawing, art, ai-generated or ai-enhanced image, screenshot, low-effort post, meta posts, video, or anything else but a photo.
π Must be SFW. No gore, porn, extreme violence, blood, corpses, or similarly disturbing content. Absolutely no pornography, even if it's "tasteful".
π Comments must be civil. No slurs of any kind or using words to insult, demean, harass, or abuse other individuals or groups.
π The Renaissance part (not the photo itself) must be accidental to the photograph. In other words, no photos of Renaissance fairs, people dressed in medieval/Renaissance clothes, etc.
π NO influencer selfies, professional photoshoots with watermarks, any type of OnlyFans-like content. We are not the place to work your side-hustle.
πΈ If you know who the photographer is, give them credit in the comment section. This is the only type of self-promotion we allow.
π©βπ¦― Alt-Text for vision-impaired users in the post body or in the comments is highly encouraged. Just pretend you are describing a photo to someone on the phone.

The man did in fact need to be stopped, but "shouldn't be deadly" is still potentially deadly. The dude might've had a heart condition, could've dropped dead right on the spot. Not worth risking for a baseball game, IMO.
That's on the person illegally (and probably violently) marching into the game, knowing security will stop him, also probably violently.
I just think the person is so incredibly stupid, and should have expected something like that.
The penalty for something stupid isn't death though. If less lethal options are available, why not use those?
When a common tool for detaining people is likely to kill you, you have it coming if you just run into the field during a match. Itβs like walking out in front of a moving vehicle. The penalty isnβt death, and no one is trying to kill you. Itβs likely to happen on accident though.
It's a bit more like stepping on the road in front of a vehicle that isn't moving, and then hitting the gas pedal and claiming "shouldn't have stepped on the road!". It's not wrong, but choosing this method to deal with it is simply not necessary.
If a child steals something, is keeping them at gunpoint a proportionate response? Sure, kid shouldn't steal and just holding someone at gunpoint won't kill them, but it's also an unnecessary risk.
I agree, but I'm pretty sure that tasing under normal and proper use shouldn't kill healthy people (a person running storming a sports game is 100% healthy). Like, if he had stayed tasing him for like 20 seconds then I'd get the outrage, but removing the taser once he's incapacitated really shouldn't have major consequences.
And it's definitely a valid option in the case of a large field like a game stadium, where there's lots of room for the person to run away rapidly. Once he gets a few meters away from security, he has lots of room to sprint away, and catching him would be really hard.
Idk, I just think it's really really hard to guard a game once someone broke through security gates.
Lots of room for someone to run away rapidly?
So, like the athlete supposedly in danger would be able to do? Kind of puts a damper on the whole someone was in danger theory you keep trying to push.
This is the same mentality that got a teen shot because he rang the wrong doorbell after getting the address wrong or the man shot for using a driveway to turn around. The world isn't as dangerous as you've made it in your mind.
