No, by all means - use edited photos. I’m just pointing out that this is close enough to reality, that it could be mistaken for a real picture.
If you had painted a white oompa-loompa suit, and green hair on him, I wouldn’t have felt the need to point the picture out, or maybe even saturated the picture EVEN MORE, but it’s getting to the point where you cannot trust anything anywhere, and there’s no longer any real sources of ground-truth.
