The Downfall of Normal Beauty Standards

That’s why everyone on the internet looks the same. It’s all a filler.

Can you stop speaking like a cheap AI voice app?

Beauty filters would have made an outstanding Twilight Zone theme had someone thought of them sixty years ago.

Ask yourselves who benefits from making you feel inadequate? Answer: 1) the floggers of unnecessary products and 2) those operating systems of power and control. Dear young people, please fight back against this poison!

How we look and view ourselves is so messed up now. I can’t see it ending though.

Ugly people? There is no such thing.

Oh come on, 5 years ago AI art was a joke. Now it's making all the art for card games, companies are using it for models, it's creating entire ad campaigns. The hands are still a giveaway, but for how long?

The second picture is not ugly. It’s just not airbrushed with a bunch of makeup gunked on top. It’s how beauty should be.

I've absolutely refused to use filters on principle alone.

What was up with that comment about liberals?

might just be me, but I prefer the faces without filters. sure, they may not be as conventionlly attractive, but their features are more diverse. the filters make them all look oddly similar, with the same brows, contour, and snatched jawlines. I prefer the diversity of natural faces, how each face is unique, and I think that has it's own appeal

Why does everyone want a pointed nose? It looks gross, like you're gonna poke my eye out.

I never use filters. They look silly and disingenuous.

Greatest closing line ever.

They were always ugly. You simply didn't look closely enough.

OK I’m old so somebody explain to me if these kids are putting these filters on, on social media to meet people what are they going to do when they actually have to meet in person? Or do they just perpetually have a virtual relationship so they never have to see one another’s actual faces? 🫤

Culpa do Culto à Feiura

The filtered versions eyebrows look so frozen....similar to Catherine's eyebrows in the 'cancer' video.

Felix looks so cute without makeup with the freckles jyp still tries to hide

I’m glad I never fell into the filterverse. Still do my same simple makeup routine I’ve done since I was 18, and I’m 43 now. I still look fabulous, never use things that make me look unrealistic. No filters, fillers, contouring or hair dye. To much makeup or crazy filters just make women look like they are in drag. Young women need to learn less is more, but not being lazy and putting in a bit of effort can go a long way.

I lost you when you started blaming ‘liberals’ (and I’m not even one). Lol. Rabble rabble rabble

Gonna be an implant one day that filters people’s face and body irl and Shallow Hal everyone you look at lol. Touch is gonna be the only tell until they come up with the tech for that too. Sounds like a Black Mirror episode.

It affects you more if you live like in San Diego..LA.. mostly california. And I guess miami. Reasons im getting out of here and moving back to my home state lol

The food is poison and women no longer have any self discipline.

I had a friend who would not and could not leave her house without wearing makeup. It was low-key frightening and helped me not fall into the trap of makeup.

It has pros and cons - we expect makeup for a woman to ‘look professional’ and the lack of it can send the message that the person is lazy, sloppy or unkempt. But, I save so much money and don’t flinch from my own reflection like my friend did, so for me it’s a good outcome.

With filters like this? ….i have to work out what kind of job never needs or wants to see you in person.

I’m 57. My mother said when I was a kid “when a couple that have had their teeth done and nose jobs don’t be surprised what their kid looks like”
If she only knew what the future would hold!

Are you cosplaying?

I took really nice pro looking pictures of my sister once.. When she got the pictures she said I should basically quit my job on it and just take pictures of animals. They where cool pictures but couldn't compete with her AI obsession, which I was trying to make a point about but evidently failed. It's making her feel really self continues in an unhealthy way as she gets older :(
It's an annoying problem just generally as a photographer. I want to show the beauty and coolness of the real people, with any "flaws" helping describe them.. I keep away from filters and photoshop, though I do unsharpened pictures a little.. no one needs to see every pore that modern cameras can convey.. not like anyone in real life is standing that close to inspect pores in real life lol

I think looking like a porcelain doll will became a symdrom

I’ve straight up had to stop meeting people through the internet. If you are of such a weak character that you have difficulty differentiating between yourself and an illustration based on yourself, then you literally haven’t done the work to obtain sapience. Those who use these filters are too mentally and emotionally stunted to be able to provide informed consent in the same exact way that prevents kindergartners from getting bank loans.

i am a portrait/model artist. i teach. i studied old and new beauty standards for anything that was commited to a visual medium. i've drawn hundreds of people and nude bodies of all ages, genders and ethnicities.

you look fine. the way your body moves and rolls and hangs is fine. your neckline is fine. your face looks fine. you are not as fat as you think. your legs are not too skinny.

i've had models tell me they've felt less judged naked and surrounded by artists than fully clothed in the streets. the gaze of others can truly hurt. artists train to see things as they are*, as close as you can to truth. we learn very early that judgement and the brain lies to you by design. lenses and gazes lie. they can distort reality heavily - because of judgement or physics. the habit of taking selfies with a phone so close to a face makes us used to see our face distorted, features of the face enlarged and everything around it curved and minimized. we're basically training ourselves to see lies as truth, judgement as fact.

pictures lies. lenses and eyes distort. light is everything and that's why you are so depressed after looking at yourself in the bathroom mirror.



i've never been kinder than when i draw someone.


(*of course it's one school of thought ao not every artist will be like this)

I hate hate haaate seeing my face with beauty filters. It looks so so wrong. I remember I was out to lunch with friends and we took a group selfie. They had a beauty filter on and I started laughing because I looked so fucking weird! My visceral reaction is “oh my god ew who the fuck is that????”

This is honestly like that mirror from Harry Potter, where many people have wasted most of their lives staring at themselves in a fantasy. Get rid of all social media, and you will be much happier.

We all has a mirror , i quite know my own beauty n flaws and also everyone , so .. the effort to represent " beauty standard of our own is our bussiness "
Either how we want to appear inside n out side r not to get gudged by anyone ... If you like it or not keep it to your self.
I said it to my self .. I only consider with the religion n government law standard according to " beauty standard " in outfit nothing more.

The good news is someone who loves you will love the real you and doesn’t need the yasified filter you.

People are being reduced to avatars and usernames and, sadly, they see nothing wrong with the idea that the only desired beauty standard is one that’s totally unrealistic and superficial. Practically no one is interested in cultivating a personality or nurturing a talent or skill, they simply want to “ look beautiful”.

P.S. Mucho Kudos to those of us who are secure enough to be ourselves and not blindly dive into current social “standards” that do nothing but promote self-hate and dissociation.

Nicr

So basically it's virtual makeup 😂

HE IS A ONCE🔥🔥

SO glad I'm old, happily wed and content with my wrinkles, old woman skin and entirely natural old age look. Seriously, life's too short for this sh*t...

What filter is it the blonde girl is using talking about the filter?!?! Lmao

I know how to use Sepia filter! 😃 That's as far as my knowledge extends.

"we", who's we? I'm glad I built my identity on Jesus Christ.
I went through a phase of low self confidence when I was 12-13 years old, but because I listened to what God tells about me instead of what the world says, now I have full security and confidence.
Thank You Jesus for Your love. I don't need anything else.

You won't
Judge
Your own work
And improve

All those kpop people look just fine without the weird filter. I have some trouble with self esteem, and starting to use filters would be a dangerous path for me, so I don't. Their pervasiveness with younger people must exert quite a bit of pressure

i love aespa but i think it is crazy how we're celebrating their looks when sm ent is doing almost everything in their power to match their faces to make it look like AI. Are we really sacrificing young girl's faces to match some trends? When you were pointing out twice I got reminded of this.

well...on one good note...if you see some messed up hands you know it was AI and not real?
