True, some could see it as sad. However they have the opportunity to rewire the way people perceive them! They could start an entire social media campaign swearing off edited and photoshopped pictures. They have the power to change it! That definitely makes it less sad.

Exactly.

You said it right! They set this standard and I can't feel bad when they get called out for not looking like the pictures they swear are rEaL

I would argue that while the Kardashian-Jenners have definitely been a huge part in fostering this environment where you have to look a certain way, and you have to be "perfect" constantly, they are far from the people who created it. I remember being a kid in the early 2000s and the TV was full of reality shows where people were shamed for the way they looked for entertainment -- whether it was for not dressing fashionably enough OR the way you ate, this culture of making us hate our bodies and the "need" for constant editing has been brewing since forever. Photos have ALWAYS been edited, even in the days when they were made using wet plates. It is really sad though, cause I genuinely think they have a very warped understanding of what they look like -- and who wouldn't in their shoes? I'm not a fan of them, but like James said, they're in a position where they're insulted whether they edit their images or whether they don't. I also don't think they could start a campaign reversing this phenomenon and it would actually work -- many celebrities have tried it, but it's now so enmeshed with the way we share and look at images, and it is indeed larger than just the Kardashians.

Don’t cry to hard for them, they’re RICH. We, on the other hand have had no financial gain for the impossible standards they’ve made a MINT on, we’re also never going to achieve the level they’re making money on.

Yeah 100% agree

If I understood correctly, this was the 2nd time Foreo has apologized to James for this issue. Is it possible thay they are just "messing up" on purpose so that they can "own up" and make themselves "the company that knows how to admit their mistakes and apologize" so that people will think more highly of them? Not that they can't make the same mistake twice, but brand marketing can get real creative these days so I never know whom to trust 😅

@@genericplantlife It sounded to me like once it was Foreo and the other time it was somebody they collabed with. Anyway, doing such a thing on purpose doesn't seem like a risk any brand would be willing to take for so little potential reward.

Sad that someone lost their job being an editor though.

It’s still marketing. If it wouldn’t hurt their finances they wouldn’t care.

Right! Like looking like an alien is somehow better than her unedited self (that is already compromised)

Yesssss

It just goes to show you how unused and repulsed they are by their own natural image. They prefer looking like edited freaks than showing their real body. it's really sad

Her hands freak me the eff out. They are like 3 feet long

@@parleyclemons6876 lol right!

omg ok right??? i always think about that

Looool yes my family would be the first to call me out!

Sameeeee!

Same sis. I don't like filters so I just don't post. I don't want to look less cute without them.

If they would put on a honest smile instead of looking so smug all the time... Maybe the whole thing wouldn't so bad.

Right, I think she looked great. Idk what's even to shame😂 I wish I didn't have much cellulite like her lmao

In reality though most people who body shame and bash celebs are either obese, don't take care of themselves in other aspects of their life etc. Most women who bash other women for their looks aren't cute themselves. Im not trying to be mean when saying that but its the reality of the situation. People who aren't on the same level looks wise or that don't meet the physical demands of our society are always the first ones to bash women for how they look. Just a whole lotta projection at the end of the day.

@@sewerwitxh not necessarily, some of the most ugly personalities I have seen are from "hot" girls. Plus I'm overweight and I certainly wouldn't fat shame someone, so I think it goes both ways.

@@jennamenzies3652 thats very true. But every time I see it online it comes from people who look no better. But Ive gotten to be over weight this past year too and I don't judge either. It just annoys me how people always wanna put others down about their looks when they honestly don't look any better. Thats the point I was getting at. I see it all the time on social media

@@jennamenzies3652 I think it all comes down to being insecure about yourself, no matter how „hot“ you look. A lot of really hot girls are deeply insecure, just think about Megan Fox. And yes, most not so hot or cute girls are also very insecure. So they try to bring others down to make themselves feel better. It‘s all about being jealous. Pretty sad though, I would hope we could all support each other rather than being competitive for no reason whatsoever.

I was thinking this too! #ogvideos

I really wish he said it!

Agreed!!! They created these unattainable beauty standards and then complain about them.

100% spot on

There's a difference between being held to and being taunted or mocked. Something important to realise is how many people have a body like Kourtneys unedited body and how they might feel reading that. We mock them when they look real (Khloe pre surgery) to the point they get surgery then mock them for using surgery or editing. Half the time the editing is in the contract and not done by them.

well said!!!

@@missbeaussie most of their editing is in their personal social media accounts. I think the main problem is that they started editing their pictures from day 1 creating these fake versions of themselves and then when unedited ones come out where they look completely different it’s shocking. No one should call people ugly, fat, comment on someone’s nose…etc… but at the same time when you post 100 pictures edited to look one way and then 1 shows the real deal people unfortunately are going to say something. If they just started posting all regular pictures then people wouldn’t care when an unedited one pops up.

EXACTLY this! 😂

yeah expecially kardashians it's literally their job to look like that (and they still 100% don't as we know)

😂same...it's unrealistic to achieve as a regular person that's barely paying rent and getting groceries.😎❣️

Dermatologists, the best skin care, all kinds of skin and body procedures makeup etc etc. As they say, you're not ugly you're just poor.

Absolutely! Aside from the teas and supplements, too many people (mostly women) have started abusing over the counter laxatives because a lack of awareness of how weight loss actually works - as you said, those calories are already absorbed and overuse of laxatives can actually seriously damage the digestive system over time.

I abused laxatives for years (started when I was 16) It destroyed my digestive system. I’ve spent the last two years trying to fix it. I didn’t realize it until I went to counseling for my ED. So many people are unaware of how dangerous abusing laxatives can be

Some laxatives can have the effect of hastening digestion, so they can help you lose (or keep off) lbs. People wouldn't use them, if they didn't work at all. That's the problem; they CAN help, in the short term. But they cause more problems than they solve, unfortunately.

The teas, however, mostly just lose water weight, by not allowing your body to absorb extra water before the waste exits your body. So, yeah, diarrhea. No real effect, whatsoever. Besides maybe dehydration. Not good.

@@GG-ej3jl I also damaged my digestive system and have spent the last year in recovery and repairing the damage. Hope your recovery and healing is going well :)

Yes, this is how the world is now and it's actually sad and scary if you think about it for too long. People that spend time on social media where the point is to look at photos develop a warped sense of perception and reality. We're going to see so many more children with behavioral and mental issues as time passes if nothing changes.

My uni profile picture has no distortion of my face, but in it I am wearing a full face of makeup with thick eyeliner-so when I turn up to class with no makeup at all I feel like a catfisher 🤣

i now the feeling!!!

Honestly, that's clever.

I disagree. They pass their photoshop work off to other people. I’ve used photoshop myself and as you work on an image for a period of time, you start to “lose focus” on the coherence of the image as a whole. It’s quite easy to start editing an area and miss a shadow or miss hand/hair placement once you start heavily editing the way they do.

thats an interesting thought, whether or not its true. you really never know what sort of things are faked for the clicks.

@@nannoreul how do you miss 7 fingers, 6 toes and double legs in a photo?

@@as19J01 Righttt LOLLL

I completely agree with you! I’ve thought these crazy photoshop fails has been a marketing strategy from the gate! It’s the same as bad press is still press! If a photoshop fail if theirs is trending, that means that they’re trending! Positive or negative, they’re trending! It’s all stupid lol

Growing up pre-WWW, seeing images in magazines and on TV gave teens unrealistic goals but NOTHING to this extent. Now they're bombarded with filtered and altered photos 24/7, and it's not just celebrities but supposedly everyone else who looks perfect. I'm SO glad I'm not a teenager (or parent of one) today. This is madness and just so deeply damaging. Glad you were able to snap yourself out of it and not let it take you down!

Given the environment that they are growing up in they never will, I really see them growing up with the expectation that they will look like the women around them when they grow up, eventually findind out that's not the case and then get surgery to fit in the family business.🤷‍♀️

I unfollowed someone on YT and IG because she was obviously Photoshopping her toddler. Like, he had no face texture. At first I thought it was just an automatic setting she hadn't noticed to turn off, but the woman had two million subscribers at the time...

I think of all the disgusting men that will follow these kids and them going after them once they're 18. They really don't think for their children like parents would. These kids look like products when ever I see them online.

Makes me sick

But then they'd also get shamed for not being "perfect." There's never a win win scenario unfortunately. It's pick the lesser of 2 evils, and they must feel looking perfect and helping their own mental health is more important than helping others. Which I get, I don't blame them. People online are cruel af

@@TheNinjaNiky they are not perfect

@@tiffprendergast obviously, nobody is perfect. But they're considered perfect by a lot of people and they are ridiculed if they don't keep up that standard. Most famous people are. Some people take it as endearing and humanizing, others take it as why aren't you being perfect, you're a celebrity. If there weren't people like that, it wouldn't be a problem, but there are.

Maybe Kourtney will. I think she has. Tbh she looks great now at her heaviest weight and seems really happy. The rest of them… idk.

Guys, this has been pushed on women foreverrr. Didn't start with the Kardashians, won't end with them. It's a "person" thing.

Actually looked incredible

I like how easy the magnetic attachments are to get on and off and the compactness, but otherwise... yeah. It's a good hairdryer but not spectacular.

It doesnt sound like a good hair dryer if it's needed replaced 4 times in 3 years.

@@tenzodotdash IDK, it's being used on several clientsn every day for 5-6 days a week. That would be hard on any appliance. The fact that she could pay for it once and have it replaced several times no questions asked means she's probably saving a lot of money. On top of that, the compact size means it takes up less space and the magnetic attachment don't wear out like a normal dryer would and take less time to swap back and forth. For a normal person, it's probably not worth it. But I can see these benefits being invaluable for a hairdresser.

@@tenzodotdash If she's using it commercially, as in on clients, it's getting tooooons of use and will need replacing regularly.

Agree I’ve tried it and don’t think it’s worth $600 at all, instead I bought a balmain one and it’s amazing and less than half the price

That "explanation" of hers made me so pissed! Like come on! The way their bodies have changed over the years is not in the slightest way possible by just working out. You can tone your body and grow muscles or lose fat, but you can't completely alter your body shape without there being surgery involved.

I was angry also they think we will believe that working out did all that ? Cmon

@@PerfectPinkiePants Right? And after all of the surgery, they still need their photos edited to look like the image they're selling. Even they can't attain the results they're trying to suggest are achievable by diet and exercise. They have no shame and they really should.

@@carolinegrova8707 Exactly!

They have absolutely zero self-awareness or sense of accountability. Sure, the Kardashians and Jenners didn't invent toxic beauty standards. However...they're making them worse, and use/abuse their influence on social media to convince the world (and themselves) they achieved "perfection" naturally.

I have ptsd flashbacks from Boohoo. I work for a famous delivery company and we used to get shit loads of these pkgs. (My area gets pkgs went us that arent formatted correctly. And for 3 straight months we would get several of these daily. >:()

@@SheisRiyaa for real they smooth them out so much they don't even look like themselves anymore

Same and I stg that freaks me out more than what anyone would think of me naturally 😂

Duh

No I noticed that, too!!🤔

Couldn’t agree more!

And so many are starting to look like them. They are creating their own plastic race

Yup

I’d like to read both of y’all’s dissertations!

Wtf? But the clothes are for plus sized tho..

@@emyf9197 i know, it's so messed up! feels like a minefield with the whole beauty/fashion/marketing industry... this is the video i mentioned: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/acB1dMqqzdfMqWQ.html

@@gpgp1841 I was a model through the 2000s and 2010s and that was definitely a thing then. Fat suits, butt padding, fake tiddie inserts or just plain photoshopping bigger in post production. We want plus sized models but don't generally tolerate actual realities of that, like belly folds while standing, more dramatic/noticeable cellulite, thick necks, undefined chins, fat buckling around joints like elbows and knees, much fuller faces, limb extremities being puffy/discolored, etc. We basically want thin women with enormous assets and thin waists. When genuine, plus sized women are portrayed (and not surgically altered to fit the norm listed above, or photoshopped as though they were) they get ruthlessly attacked. They get insulted, death threats, and even the pro-fat, plus sized advocates overlook them in lieu of the surgeried, edited types that get reposted endlessly in spite of not being natural or realistic for even them. It's difficult, because real women aren't perfect but media doesn't allow that for women's images.

@@folfelit thanks for your response, it's very sad but I'm glad your writing this - awarness is everything! :(

Y e s. My boyfriend asked me why would I pay $200 for a blow dryer and I told him “well it’s made by Ferrari” and his dumb car guy boy brain immediately was like “oh of course. Makes sense”

That’s the one I used before the Dyson and I still have it. I like the dyson because I get results with lower heat and it’s quieter. I have thick hair that takes forever to dry.

Or do people criticize because celebrities always deny plastic surgery and act like they’re all natural?
