"Actually no I got myself for that *blow raspberries* "

More like mostly. It's nice for people who were already introverted homebodies, but it's turned a lot of the population into something similar. Even when they're out, they're looking at their phones and not the world and people around them. You only have to look at random other human beings for a while to realize how ridiculously exaggerated the online vision of an "attractive" person is.

@@janchristianursuaaguilar7434 No it isn't. Jeez, what an oversimplification and overstatement. The world is not black and white like that.

@@janchristianursuaaguilar7434 No, it is understanding the limitations that come with complete freedom for all. "The internet provides a voice for all people" is simultaneously it's greatest strength and greatest downside. Beauty standards being what they are on social media is such an example where you can find body positivity, but you also find body negativity. If you don't understand that one both can and _should_ hate that aspect of social media ... you ain't mature enough to be using social media.

I definitely agree 100%.

What was particularly infuriating were pregnancy videos by Reina Scully, every time she went for an appointment, it sounded like bullying for her weight... and she is perfectly fine and healthy.

Not that toxic like korean standard. but, atleast they are good looking enough to have the standard. +kind & humble. from what i've observed.

@@FabulousCooki It's been on shirts for decades, we've been pointing out warping lines and editing for decades, but people - contrary to what Aki stated - just aren't really that smart after all.

I thought you're gonna say return to monkey 😂

thing is, a lot of people dont know what is natural anymore because of the internet. people online might say natural but the viewers just cant know. it's safe to assume that everyone posting online edits their photos atp, so you can save yourself mentally

​@@agent_star yeah it doesn't matter what size you are, there's always a group of ppl that'll say a woman is too big or too small

@@spicybeantofu One time I was meeting up with my male friends and a new girl we had befriended and she was constantly talking about how she is not going to eat in front of people, needless to say she looked like a stickbug. I struggle a lot with my self image and people like that make me so mad cause I know i have to harm myself to look like them, but that's the standard that they are portraying. Literally none of the guys took a moment to think that not eating all day is bad and that's why she looked the way she did. I've had girls shame me for eating breakfast, that's how far its come...

That was diabolical lmao

I just never post because why? I don’t have any friends to see what I’m doing and I don’t need strangers to see wtf I’m doing.

I never wanted social media. My girlfriend back in the day forced me into making a Facebook.... and I would share almost nothing anyway. Got rid of it ASAP when we broke up :/

I have accounts to DM my friends but I never post, I'm just too lazy to take photos and upload them and I couldn't give a monkey's about getting 'likes'.

That, also there will always be people who want to bring themselves up by bringing others down, and will most often use looks because it's the easiest way.

I agree so much with both of you here, absolutely fantastic points

Yet sadly people do it so often that it has been normalized. Even in public...

ill believe it when i see it

Okay? Then srop shaming people for their looks.

yeah I agree :(

We should if there plastic and fake, i am, i don't care

Go to a walmart to boost your self confidence (I'm kidding)

To me it wasnt this bad back then

True! Before it was only models and celebrities who had the resources behind them to edit their pics for mass consumption. Now that ability is in the hands of everyone, and more and more people are using it, warping perceptions of what "normal" people look like.

There are plenty of things you can do to pictures in the darkroom during development. I think editing photos has been around almost as long as there were cameras and pictures to alter. For example some of those old black and white crazy corset photos are edited/painted in, but it was pretty normal for the photographer to hide little imperfections like akne and the like. It's actually a really interesting topic to look into

@@TheImaginaryCat Excellent points. The same also applies if you go back to the medium of paint portraiture. Retouching acne in portraits I would argue has a negligible impact compared to altering body proportions, though. I wonder how many average people were getting black and white prints made showing off exaggerated body proportions. Gravure models are one thing, but would an average lady specify to her photographer that she wanted her waist nipped in/painted over? Or was that just a common service that they provided? Also, the fact that people's bodies were usually much more covered up by layers of clothing makes it more difficult to compare your body directly to someone else's since you can't see their actual body, just the effect of their corset and/or padding in their silhouette. Nowadays you can see basically everything, so altering body proportions has a much more visceral and immediate impact on the viewer. If the editing is done well, people can't tell that it's not someone's actual proportions (especially in still photography since angles help a lot).

I mean, if we wanna go back far enough, 'portraits' that we're painted before camera's were 'edited' (painters would be asked to paint their subjects a certain way) when black and white photos were invented they were edited and cinched in at the waist too. For as long as we've had some form of 'selfie' we've had some form of editing. It is crazy, but yeah, it's fully deceptive too. And also beauty standards are always changing so there's no way to win. I think colour correction and anything like that to brighten and such, yeah that's all fine because cameras don't accurately capture colour anyway, but really anything else and we should avoid it. That being said, I do think it's easier said than done when we live in a ✨️society✨️ That being said, some people like to express themselves with colourful make up (me include) and dress and I think that's fine and we shouldn't shame them because it's not 'natural beauty' (because that can soon start getting toxic) but yeah, when it comes to pictures and the digital space, it has real impact when we're all editing and changing our body shapes and all the rest of it.

I got made fun of for freckles when I was little, now people are getting them tattooed on their face. I’m sad I had to go through being made to feel bad for my face but I’m glad people are finally seeing how beautiful freckles are.

man i dont get ppl like: they either shame natural bodys cause they were "lucky" or are fake as heck. yes there is a point where your wieght becomes a health issue but we are FAR away from that. its natural to dislike anything that seems "unhealthy" to you, but can't they just keep thier opinions to them selves? its the same problem on the opposite side where some men just turn thier brain off whenever they see someone pretty and end up making girls uncomfortable that dont want that kind off attention.

@@GGVolter Exactly. It's especially prevalent online because people hide behind the screen. Also, the only person who should be making comments on someone's weight is their professional doctor.

I sometimes look in the mirror and see my pores and think "why do I have these?" Completely forgetting that they're essential to my health and EVERYONE has pores.

exactly and that's all that matters ✊🏼

W mindset Who cares what strangers think about you

I know I am just some random on the internet, but I would also have some caution about this too! I used to place most of my self-worth in what I could do and then I got sick and could no longer do any of it. It was quite a crisis for me growing up.

This is super dangerous for those of us with disabilities or chronic illnesses. Our self worth shouldn't come from how we look, how productive we are or what we can do, it should come from who we are as people.

​@@watashiwamosuradangerous-ish for anyone who could get into a car accident (ie everyone)

also I love how we are "concerned" about people transitionning when Ozempic missuse and rib removing or giving a 16yo cis woman fake boobs are not questionned at all

Are plastic surgeons even included in the "do no harm" oath

@@tdelioncourt1268 I’m in California and know a handful of women on Ozempic for weight loss and I guess there’s always a crooked Dr out there. Btw they’re not even ‘clinically obese’ either so it blows my mind.

@@tdelioncourt1268 Meanwhile insurances will cover trans surgeries but does not cover the other procedures you just listed

what I try to teach my daughters is to be kind and assertive/confident at the same time - you can appreciate that someone looks good without comparing or feeling envious you are not that person. And you don't need to say unkind words about anyone, esp. people who have not their day or are obviously unwell or whatever. I'm actually quite glad for AI, like from that point that I can just say "it's nice, but it's not real" :D

I don't know where people got that body positivity was about praising obesity??? But obese people cannot change how they look in 5mn and they still need to dress up, go out, use public accomodations in the mean time so we should catter to them too. The point is they are citizen too, and that shaming people won't help them magically get thin. I agree with the rest of your comment, though !!

@@tdelioncourt1268 I mentioned somewhere that - aside from the fact that people just shouldn't say mean things about anyone - the obese person may actually go with their weight down and such remarks are can be seriously undermining their effort... and comments looked as if people genuinely thought that others can shapeshift, not only to look better overnight, but also to annoy others by deliberately choosing to look "unpleasant" or however you want to call it. Weird.

@@tdelioncourt1268 It's mostly that a loud minority used the term to justify not putting in the work to become healthier. So much so that it affected the general public's knowledge of the term and many people now just associate it with morbidly obese people using it as an excuse to not make a change for the better. And to unfortunately even drag other obese people down with them by discouraging them to improve their health. I fully agree though that you shouldn't shame people for being obese either! I'm sorry if it came off that way. I think especially obese people that work to make a change and might even be actively losing weight are incredibly strong, because changing your lifestyle drastically for the better is so damn difficult. And especially a healthy, lifestyle based weight loss takes a long time. So yeah no, you are right of course, making body positivy represent everyone again doesn't mean suddenly excluding obese people instead.

I still have social media but i never use it, so itˋs kinda the same 😂and yeah i can agree, life is so much better without the toxicity what is going on there

I'm corny as hell bro

@@jentavar6581 I mean you're not wrong. What will they do in 5 years, and another 10 when their bodies go out of trend? Constantly do reversal surgeries till they look botched as all hell?

@@szarwi that's what i'm saying!

You know what beauty standard doesn't change as often? Being a kind and caring person, that is ALWAYS attractive.

Hi! give yourself time and love, something as lifechanging as bearing life will leave marks and it's unrealistic to deny it. Keep in mind that fitness/Influencers/actresses "post partum bodies" most times involve plastic surgery (the surgery package is even called the "mommy makeover", Stephanie Lange made several videos about this).

@tdelioncourt1268 Thanks! I know that. I'm just comparing to other mothers. But I know it's unfair to myself as they were able to exercise pretty much right away. My baby had sleeping issues so I couldn't do much. It's been 2 years... I have PPD PPA and gained more weight because of it too. I know my issues and I know where I want to go into my weight loss journey... back to what I was. 😅 it's not super skinny, but more comfortable and more healthy self.

Be proud! Ur body did the most amazing thing! And every body develops differently afterwards. Don't compare urself to others for ur own happines. It took me 2 yrs to get into pre pregnant clothes. Did it in my own sweet time and in a happy state of mind. You can too! ❤

i noped out like 10 years ago now, and most of my friends have as well (millenials, idk if its commong for us) but when i see what it turned to i am just grossed out. Its even worse now and idk how that happened, and how there is no counter culture against it like there used to be pre 2000s to everything

Also doing this sort of thing for an internet persona is one thing but when you do it for irl purposes then you're opening yourself to some really unpleasant reactions when the cat eventually gets out of the bag. People are already mean to eachother without setting up unrealistic expectations.
