Young women need a wake up call. These self-important harpies are so sad and delusional about getting older that they are skewing the minds of women everywhere into desperately trying to be something that they can't. That these women even aren't. Make it stop.
Reality vs. Photoshop: How doctored images have warped beauty standards for decades—and what it’s doing to young girls.”
It’s not new, but it’s everywhere: For decades, magazines, ads, and now social media have used heavy photo editing. Celebrities and pros routinely slim waists, smooth skin, enlarge eyes/lips, lighten skin tones, and reshape bodies. Paparazzi or unfiltered shots often reveal a very different (and still human) reality.
The data on harm is clear: Studies consistently link exposure to idealized, edited images with worse body image in girls and young women. This includes higher body dissatisfaction, lower self-esteem, increased anxiety/depression symptoms, and greater risk of eating disorders. Social comparison (especially upward to “perfect” images) is a key driver.
Photo editing backfires personally too: Girls who frequently edit their own photos report lower body esteem and more appearance anxiety. One study found 85% of girls have used filters/apps to alter their looks by age 13, and longer editing time correlates with poorer self-image.
Filters and edits blur reality, making normal human variation (pores, texture, asymmetry, body diversity) feel “wrong.”
Beauty isn’t flawless skin or impossible proportions, it’s real, varied, and human. Real confidence comes from reality, not retouching.
Shouldn’t we teach our daughters and granddaughters to find the beauty in exactly who they are? Their uniqueness makes them more beautiful than any filter ever could.
@vidsurvdude@janismcdonald_@kevinolearytv@bri39865 I've researched the information, and i know this is crucial to your career, homer. It's sad that you chose to stake your livelihood on an industry that depends on the acquiesce of rural communities that have an aversion to your DCs. Shouldn't have learned to code, bubba
