It's not that people disagreeing with you that is the problem. The problem is the manner and word choice in which you speak. There are quite a few people on the forum that speak chinese. You speak like a han dynasty scholar wannabe. It's pretentious and just straight up weird.
Since you say I look like a scholar from the Qing Dynasty, I have to argue with you. Yes, AI translation may have used an academic translation style, and there may have been a lot of vocabulary that is very template like in academic papers. This is my mistake. I know that the vast majority of English readers cannot master the large amount of academic vocabulary added every year, and ordinary people cannot read professional journals at all. This is the problem of English, a backward two-dimensional language. If Chinese, a language system that stores more rich information in three dimensions, is used, every ordinary person can read professional journals almost without barriers, even if they don't understand the content, they can easily read. This is not nationalism. One day, people will realize that Chinese is the most suitable language for the future, especially in the AI era.

It's more about being able to communicate effectively.
Ultimately this is an English language forum, so if you want to continue on this forum I encourage you to try and write in your own prose in English.

If your first language is Chinese and you cannot speak or write effectively in English without the use of AI or translation software, it is better for you to simply perhaps find some Chinese language PLA watching communities instead (if anything they should be more plentiful).

This recommendation will be the last post on this matter of writing/language/AI software in this thread -- further posts on this matter will be deleted.

To everyone, do not respond to this post.

It’s just one image. Why so serious?
Look, the mods here warned me this is a serious military forum, so why not take professional stuff seriously? Playing favorites is a really bad habit. Yeah, I broke my word earlier about not posting anymore. Don't know if the translator I used today still makes my stuff hard for you guys to read, but I don't think there are any weird words or sentences in it this time. Should be pretty straightforward.
Alright, this is ‌really‌ my last post. Once I hit send, I'm logging out ‌for good‌. Keeping up with this place was my ‌biggest mistake‌.

Let’s stop and reflect here.

In Alfa_Particle’s haste to post a “banter picture” on the J-36, we may have entertained, for over 24 hours, what’s likely to be a fake photo, which has even then been picked up and reported by TWZ (like every other piece of news we break on his forum).

I know these are heady days — yesterday I was even going to tease back at Alfa telling him to go worry about his northern girl’s extra large xtra long schnozz (nose) and designers whose style seems inspired by certain lands “far far north of Heilongjiang” — but perhaps we need to tone things down a little and temper our enthusiasm?

Real or fake, in hindsight no one immediately questioned the authenticity (like we normally do). Let’s not get complacent.

If you have to blow a single photo out of proportion to be “serious” then you are not in fact serious. “Professional” would be exercising a good sense of judgment for what is meaningful substantive discussion and what is meaningless spectacle.

So the real thing maybe less ugly?
That picture is ugly because the images of the cockpit and air intake are fused together. It should be much better if viewed from other angles or with high contrast.Moreover, real airplanes may have smoother frontal lines.

I think we should just move on beyond this photo. Arguing over the beauty or ugliness of a photo doesn't contribute much to this thread.
Fake video and fake photo surfaced every few days, and get posted by careless members who were so eager to be the first person here to post "new" photo/video.
