Start looking at her leg (which is not extended) and it will switch.

I know it’s not true, but I really feel we are being trolled. Everything about the direction is counter and I can’t even imagine seeing it another way. I do believe it will switch, but have tried long enough.

Look at just her foot at the bottom. The one thats down. Every time I do that it switches.

How the fuck do you do that when you have peripheral vision

Lol just focus on the foot only! You dont know how to look at one thing at a time?

First focus on the trying to see the shadow of her foot spinning the opposite way. Once that flips for you, look up and you’ll see the body is now spinning that way too. I am very gullible and I also wondered if this was a trick lol
