Gigi, girl - STOP EDITING YOUR INSTAGRAM PICTURES! I like Gigi Hadid, she seems really lovely and down to earth. So I was a bit disappointed when I saw her Instagram, and what appears to be a crazy amount of photo editing going on. Facetune or photoshop - whatever it is, the pictures that Gigi has been posting are not an accurate representation of what she (or any other human!) looks like in reality. WHY Gigi? Surely you know better than this! Yes, we all have the right to edit our pictures technically speaking, but is it ethical? Especially when your career is based around your looks? And you're a role model to millions of people worldwide? I personally think that editing your pictures to this extent is quite damaging to the self esteem of (not just yourself) but women everywhere. It is perpetuating unrealistic beauty standards, that no one can live up to in real life, or online - except wit the use of editing tools.

I can feel for Gigi. She is in her late twenties, and in the modeling world 26 is considered old. She is competing with women and girls a decade younger than her, and I'm sure she is going to be insecure. That being said, it would definitely be cool if Gigi took a positive stand for aging, instead of erasing the natural way we all will age (sag and lines).

@puffball4484 11 ай бұрын

She's 28 now I think. But I don't think she's competing. She has so many connections that she'll be a staple of the runway/editorial for a long time. I doubt she's too worried. But she'll probably get the normal maintenance nips and tucks soon.

I think the problem is our entire society has been brainwashed to think that physical appearance is very important and that we all are highly flawed compared to others. Look at images of models in the 70’s and 80’s. Their faces look completely different than people look now. There were techniques even then to blur flaws and tweak photographs. But everyone didn’t look like a doll. I think with progress of technology we’ve all become too used to seeing the unreal version of public persons that we now literally all compare ourselves to something that does not exist in real life. It happens subconsciously because of what we’re seeing in media.

@jojoindigo 11 ай бұрын

Totally agree. But I think it’s mostly on digital media. Like we don’t expect people to look like that irl. edited pictures get more likes and engagement on social media. That’s just how it is. we love seeing the perfect version of things in this altered reality on our tiny screens. Obviously when you look like a completely different person, that’s taking it too far.

Idc what people say I will always promote and encourage love yourself as you physically are and take good care of yourself.

Rightt!! Like we've made beauty inseparable from youth. As a woman gets older she stops being beautiful and starts being beautiful for her age or a lot of things other than just plain beautiful. She probably also doesn't have full control over her social media so rather than say don't edit her team will say edit some more. I think she looked better in her more natural photos though. She looked good before, she looks good now and if she takes care of herself she'll look good 10, 20, 30 years from now.

What most ppl do NOT get is how the evil globalists who run the world (the "powers that be" that really shouldn't be!) are in charge of all the AI systems that create filters like this and they are the ones who orchestrate, manipulate and market these products. Then, they stage the trends by using celebs as 'useful idiots'/ shills, etc., to endorse them and then obligate the public masses to fall for these dehumanizing hipster trends through the celeb usage & endorsements. It's a shame that models this young and gorgeous play along w/ this trendy BS. I think the video creator (Stephanie L) has good points about how Gigi is surprising her b/c of how she is one of those rare models that comes across more down to earth, etc...so why would she do this?, etc...but I think what she was trying to say that she didn't quite articulate is how Gigi is falling for hipster culture and how this, in and of itself, is the actual problem that needs to be further examined b/c this issue is NOT just a beauty standard issue - it's a political, religious, cultural issue all across the board that covers many subjects that affect our lives. And ppl we consider cool, approachable and humble SHOULD DEF. NOT be hipsters - hence our shock in Gigi falling for this nonsense. It's good to be 'hip' but not a 'hipster'. There is a diff in these two things and most ppl are binary thinkers who can't understand how to reconcile duality concepts like this and they fall for false dichotomies w/out nuance so the blind leads the blind. Hipsters are 'tragically hip' and fall into this hyper fad/unrealistic trend of being super super perfect and that kind of perfectionism is not only SUPER UNHEALTHY but it is a twisted way of normalizing this trend into a celebration of the fake human and this fakery is so so dehumanizing to the point of making future generations fall for much worse. Humans are def. being encouraged to be less real, and are being REPLACED by machines and robots and this is a huge step in that slippery slope that is being shaped and molded right now before our very eyes - as this technocracy is 'hidden in plain sight'. However, most ppl are deeply naive and deeply insecure w/ huge egos and don't care and like Stephanie said, 'they praise her filtered pics' instead of calling out the fakery. These are the enabling hipsters who want to be super hip as well as they are what I will call 'hipster adjacent' b/c they want what Gigi has - fake or not. Let's also be clear - this is not the same thing as cosmetically enhancing yourself w/ make-up or surgery/ procedures which is not a bad thing if done right for right reasons. These are tech filters - very diff animal! The blind fans are even worse than the celebs. This is called ENABLING folks. Stop fawning after and buying into this crap and STOP enabling narcissistic globalists who wish to turn us into robots who later on, will not have enough humanity to say no to all this evil and will just fall to their knees and worship this beastly system of fraudulence and deception to this degree. In the next 20-40 yrs, we won't recognize ourselves very much at all if this bullshit keeps trending! Come on people - STOP. BEING. HIPSTERS.....................!

I am hardly ever on social media, the main things I watch are KZfaq and sometimes scrolling through E! news app. But it is super helpful for me to watch these videos of yours because I would not have known/guessed that most of the pics I see on social media are photoshopped or edited because I hardly ever use social media. I never use any filters or anything with the pics that I take. Partially cause I don’t know how and I never post any pics anyways. All the pics I take are for my own enjoyment and all the people I want to share them with are people that I am close enough with to text regularly. So photoshop and editing things are all new to me. It really is a helpful reminder to see your vids and know that I shouldn’t be comparing myself to pictures of people I see online or on social media because a lot of it is heavily edited (even if I am not able to recognize it a lot of the times). I love how you normalize natural beauty and point out that they look great before and after their editing but the editing is not necessary and we are all beautiful human beings and all of the things they edit out are normal human features that everyone has.

It is a good mission to discuss the harms of filters and photoshop, however, your camera also has a filter. It can clearly be seen that your videos are also blurring your skin and improving your appearance. Many cameras do this automatically, however, considering that this kind of content forms the basis of your channel it would be an stronger gesture for you to go out of your way to use no filters. Otherwise, your criticism is not really backed by action on your part. Action that you so desperately call on others to take. The reality is that your point is moot if you use a filter as well.

@moonbird2099 11 ай бұрын

@@stephanielange Do you use BeautyBox? There are many editing programs as well that blur the skin and help with lighting. If you zoom in on your videos there is clearly blurring and filtering. This is the case when the video is at its highest definition. Lighting can help with this, and, in that case lighting is basically acting as a filter to hide (blow out) any acne or lines etc. Your videos are not showing your true appearance either. So you are profiting off of exposing people for doing exactly what you are doing. If you want to do this in the true sentiment of what you claim (honest beauty standards) make the videos as you truly are. Don't hide yourself with lighting, filters or make-up. Isn't that what you truly want women to be able to do?

Lighting is not an issues in my eyes (I use studio lights to film as I film in my garage, which as you can imagine is dark and gloomy, heck even finance KZfaqrs film with studio lights lol, its part of making a high quality video), I wouldn't bemoan anyone for utilising good lighting in their pictures. That is not altering your image with editing software. And no, I dont use any filter on my KZfaq videos, you may zoom in again lol. My chest would be a lot smoother if I was. Also, most people profit from KZfaq, as do influencers and celebrities who edit their pictures.

Stephanie I agree with you but it was ironic to watch this video when you have a filter that makes you look similar than Gigi's retouched pics. I stopped the video at 4.41 to write this and the airbrushing level is around the same in your face and her face. So we could say the same and tell you to not use a filter, and it is definitely not just the make up. So you can't blame her by using similar tricks.

Usually I normally agree with everything you say in your videos but not so much here. While yes, some of her pics are edited more than others, no matter what, a candid shot almost always look less flattering than a posed one that especially in her case will be professionally lit, etc to improve how the photos will look overall and how she will look in them. Just like how you sit in front of a camera with lights of some sort to look you bets in your videos. Also, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, nor with doing a little editing to one’s photos, either they’re professional photos or for social media etc. Photos have been manipulated and edited since the beginning of their existence-how often do you see old photos of Victorians, or even people in the golden era of Hollywood that look like perfect porcelain dolls? They didn’t all just happen to have flawless texture less skin back then either. And what would photography be as a profession without tweaking photos at least a little to enhance the lighting, exposure, depth, richness, etc whether to create a photo that looks exactly how it looked when you saw it in person(like with scenery/landscapes, etc), or to adjust the color tones(or remove color) to create a certain mood with it?? Does she look slightly different in the candid shots compared to the posed ones? Sure, but it’s really not a drastic difference at all, and most differences can be achieved with good lighting. Also, her skin isn’t airbrushed to the point she looks like there is none at all, nor does it appear she’s adjusting facial features to change how they look as far as their shape and size like many have done for a while. If she wants to use good lighting and brighten her eyes and smooth her skin slightly I don’t see anything wrong with that.

⚠️ Trigger Warning: ED ⚠️ As a gen z, social media got really popular when I was in my early teens - and with social media came body editing. I developed severe body dysmorphia after starting to use Instagram to stay in touch with old friends from my school. You are just bombarded with ads and featured posts of those airbrushed women with no pores, no pimples, no fat and no disclaimer that it's edited. It got so bad that I developed anorexia and watching your videos is such a HUUUUGE HELP in my healing process! When I breakdown in front of the mirror, I pull out my phone, watch one or two of your videos and then I feel like a gorgeous queen again.

I’ve mostly posted photos of myself with a little tweak, brighten etc because I’ve always been a bit insecure about my image. There has never been a thing anybody could say that would make me feel completely comfortable or pretty because I don’t feel that way about myself. Unfortunately, Gigi seems like she was raised by a narc, reminds me of my upbringing in that way. A lot of the ladies I meet that have had a narcissist in their lives, seem to hyper focus on imperfections. Probably because they were pointed out to us, all too often growing up. When the person you admire so much, is so critical of you, it hurts worse than a million awful comments.
