A girl I went to school with has three gorgeous children but i feel she does actually use filters sometimes as randomly sometimes there’ll be. One photo of them playing where I’m like ??? Suddenly they look less like dolls? Like still gorgeous but less perfectly gorgeous if you get me? it did make me think what you said, that if I’m noticing a difference (and it made me feel AWFUL to be looking at a CHILD and the thought even pass through my head that she doesn’t look as “pretty” as normal , you are so right, the kids will grow up like why don’t I look like I do on the camera?!
We’re already in a place where grown up girls and teens are like this so I can foresee it. I don’t edit my pics or filter toooo much but even I said to someone yesterday that the filters on insta are the devil cos I see my usual face now and I’m like “ew”. I tried facetune once for the craic and deleted immediately as even just one edited photo made me go omg but I look better like that why don’t I actually look like this?! I can only imagine the mindset now of younger girls who have grown up with filters etc and how they cannot be happy with themselves!! Especially with queens of editing like kylie Jenner and molly mae as their lord and saviours.
