Image Intimidation

A manipulation strategy employed by celebrities or influencers characterized by the deliberate and ostentatious display of material wealth, opulent possessions, and an extravagant lifestyle to create a sense of awe, envy, or inferiority among their audience. This tactic aims to establish a perception of social dominance, superiority, or exclusivity, often with the intent of influencing others' opinions, garnering admiration, and solidifying a position of perceived importance within the public eye.
An influencer flaunted their new Lamborghini to try and sell a product or crypto currency to their audience via image intimidation.

Image

What someone portrays themself as.
The girl wanted a wholesome, innocent image yesterday, and a troublemaker image today. In reality, neither image was really who she was, she lived her life like the same mama's girl she always had, wanting to make the trouble, then escape any troublemaker consequences, instead letting someone else take the fall for them.

specular imaging

The idea that an image can be comprised solely of shiny points.

It, being the one picture that transmits a sexual feeling. You decide to look deeper into the internet, using rule 34 sites and such.

Something that doesn't have to be the reality of who you are.
The guy invited his brother in law to a pig pickin where he shot him dead and made it look like they had an argument over a garden hose to improve his tough guy image. The garden hose was the surface matter, but since he had already known the argument would take place while his brother in law was there, which made his actions premeditated.
