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.

A Cincinnati Reds fan is in the midst of being tased by a police officer after running onto the field.
Am I the only one here who thinks the cop was justified?
That man needed to be stopped, 100%. No way what he could've done on the field to the athletes, and a taser shouldn't be deadly when used correctly.
As long as it's not irreversible damage, I don't see the harm.
The issue is that the use of force is not proportionate. Tasers can and do prove fatal in many cases, and pitch invaders can be dealt with using far less risky methods e.g..
In UK policing there is (supposed to be) a focus on ensuring proportionate use of force where it is necessary, and officers can face significant prison sentences if judged to have gone beyond that and have caused harm as a result.
Tasers aren't non deadly, they're less deadly. Because they can still kill in some circumstances. What exactly needs to be protected at the possible cost of a life here?
I agree, someone holding a very dangerous weapon (baseball cap) should be stopped instantly.
Honestly I think the cop didn't go far enough, maybe could have called in close air support instead?
You know what's another dangerous weapon? A fist. And an elbow. And a knee. And a tackle.
People can be dangerous even without weapons. He needed to be stopped immediately, before reaching any non-security personnel.
You never know! He could have been about to use his laser robot arm to destroy the whole stadium!!!!
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.
So it shall be alright to use taser one cops when they threat with guns, protect fascist militia, or evict people from their house
That cop should have been dragged into the streets for doing that. How is this acceptable to people?
Coward cop man, threatening a human life in defense of property/profit.
Couldn't that be fatal considering how sweaty they are ?
Itβs not got anything to do with sweat. (Actually, that might make it less effective, but I doubt it.)
Tasers get fatal when the person has a heart condition or similar issue. Basically causes your muscles to clench and relax at high frequency rendering you unable to use them.
Sometimes hearts get dysrhythmia, where they stop contracting in a useful/normal fashion (that lub-dub beat.)
Itβs the current passing through/near the heart that causes it.
This is a perfect depiction of what itβs like being a Cincinnati Reds fan
Lmfao went to the game Friday, you couldn't be more right
ACAB indeed.
No one is to have fun at the old billionaires game. Bastards 13:12
That deserves a frame and a spot on the photo wall at home
βSo how did the date end?β¦β
'murica, land of the poorly trained police shakes head (but not in disbelief).
βAh yes, someone interrupting the sportsball game. Letβs use a weapon on them that is sometimes fatal. That is an appropriate escalation of force.β
βthat policeman probably
It's fine, he shouted "He's coming right for us!" first.
I'm assuming America, lucky the wernt shot.
But I guess this isn't a school field
Your comment assumes that there is a reasoning mind inside that uniform, instead of mindless knee-jerk brute force.
And that mindlessness also goes for whoever decides to pull these "I might get tased for this" pranks or dares, just to be a blip on local television for a second or two.
Also, why is he shoeless? Perhaps an homage to Shoeless Joe Jackson?
I've seen a photo of the one being tased doing a flip in front of this officer. I'm assuming no shoes because it's easier to do stuff like that without them?
That take your shoes in jail in a lot of places. Iirc they have a stadium jail and probably wouldn't be allowed to have them in the cell.
Well that seems like a completely justifiable use of force in this situation. /s
