AI Filters went Too Far... 

That's why I prefer the old Japanese/Chinese/British/French porcelain dolls.

I like the ones who make you look different in a more natural way... Like... Less blemishes or slightly changed eyes nose lips. Smooth skin is just stupid

They definitely make you look more aerodynamic

See, and I just don't get this. The crazy thing is that half, if not over half, of the people using these crazy filters to try and look unnaturally "attractive" actually look worse for it. The girl at 11:16 is a SUPER good example. The super altered one is extremely meh, but in the non-filtered picture, she's like, cute as fuck. I don't know if it's just me, and I have an EXTREMELY HEIGHTENED sense for and aversion to uncanny valley triggers, but give me normal real girl over altered super model any day.

Pretty funny when they pop in and out though, looks like something out of Mass Effect.

Thats one of the things that made me love my body. Apperently in those times people thought women with a fuller body type was the ideal body. Which is why alot of goddesses had that sort of body. So my boyfriend often say to me that i look like a godess. It helped me alot.

@@justanautisticnerd8969 correct me if I’m wrong, the reason for that is fuller body = hearty diet fit for a god/dess

@@_pachycephalosaurus_ The aesthetic had more to do with the fact that she was well fed, which meant that she was wealthy. Before industrialized agriculture, food production was a huge issue, and poorer women, naturally, didn't have that surplus of food to bulk up on. These days, it's the opposite, because wealthy women have time to work out and keep their figure slim, where poorer women can only afford the cheaper processed foods, and don't have time to work out. It's fascinating the way the ideal bodytype isn't just linked to the fashion of the age, but to actual living conditions.

@@BlackEpyon yeah that’s what I meant!

@@_pachycephalosaurus_ yeah, they were like "look, that's someone who goes to fancy banquets every night" Also, here you have one more person who looks like Venus 😂

Beautiful description

@@lucaredroserose1966 eerily beautiful, perhaps?

Not too mention they feed off of your attention. They're energy vampires.

Good to hear that vampires now have an easier time blending in with society.

Good catch!

No it's actually 2 filters, first one to make her look fat, then snap to next one to make her look thin.

Give the bleach please!!!

My first reaction to that intro also XD

Wow there Sat- I mean... Click

OMG :O

but this filter he is using the whole time makes him look really good ❤

#YASQUEENSLAY lol

Of course! You can't talk that much about body positivity without revealing your natural looks. That would be hypocrisy and Clicky ain't a hypocrite!

uHm, AcshutakLLLYYY! tHaT'S HIS FACE LATER thE FiRsT seCONds whErE FiLtEr!!!11!!!!111!!1!!!!11

Well otherwise they would look like a different person everytime they are filtered.

​@@tatiana4050Huh you make a very good point. I wonder if you can use those unique features as random noise to make filters unique for each person?

Imagine if there was a *sans* filter. It just makes you look like Sans.

@@teamawesome5153 I want that now

As someone who's been borderline underweight in the past (90 pounds then, more like 110 now, but I'm short lmao) I feel ya. A flat abdomen (so long as you're not actually overweight) is mostly about muscle tone in the torso. Underweight people often lack muscle and so the belly bulges out. I have a neuromuscular disease and when I'm off my meds (like right now, as I have an appointment tomorrow and need to have all my symptoms visible for evaluation), I pretty much look pregnant because my abdomenal muscles can't contract enough. When I'm on my meds, I can at least flex for a flat abdomen, but when relaxed it still bulges out because I don't really exercise lol, it's a lot like poor posture People put WAY too much about appearance on body fat percentage tbh. Exercise is important too. And at the end of the day, you don't need a perfectly 100% flat cartoon belly. How you position your body will change it even if you're extremely fit. Just focus on health, if you're healthy then you'll look good too (after all human ideals for "attractiveness" in other humans are born from evaluating fitness in mates, allies, etc, so health is exactly what an eye for beauty is looking for on an instinctive level)

I really hope whatever you are going through will be better in the future, hang in there

I'm a recovering anorexic and my goal is also to get to 120 and do ate blood. I'm weight restored (99lbs) but my main motivator is to donate blood. Keep going! You got this ❤

@@luckyduckyisopod you got this as well! I believe in you !

As someone with the same goal, I wish you well in you're journey! ❤ I've been overcoming an ED the last 2 years and went from 80lb to finally 100 earlier this year (2023), i have about 10lb to go to be able to donate and 20lb until my overall goal. You got this!

Well, no, generalizing a group of people is typically incorrect. There is always at least one.😊

I'm sure that you will become a beautiful woman^^

Homegirl, I'm cis and the majority of women have had some insecurities about their feminity, but I have seldom looked at another girl and tried to judge if she was "feminine or pretty enough". I'm sure you're gorgeous and the transphobes can suck it

Sis, what people consider "looking feminine" changes like every 5 years or so at this point lmao, just go with the kind of look/aesthetic that makes you feel the most comfortable and what you yourself find pretty and I'll guarantee you even if it's not conventionally feminine or attractive or some other bullshit you WILL look amazing, if any transphobes spew bullshit just go full on karen mode on them for bonus "femininity" points 💅✨

same, also trans here and dealing with drama irl because of it.

I dont need a filter to become a goblin i look that way naturally and i love it

i'm 22 and i've been stressed about aging since i was 16!! because of all this social pressure around women aging

I DO look younger than my age. Doesn't mean I look like a model though. (Or good).

Or if you're 40 and still look in your 20'its ok. But if you're in your 60's and still look 20 because you've had some work done, you start getting shamed for it. Like Madonna and Cher. It's outright hypocrisy. Either your supposed to "look your age" or you're not. There is no in-between. Or maybe everyone should mind their own business and do what makes them happy. I think that's a better option.

Yeah you get shamed by other women mostly I bet. Men do not care.

@@TheHimmus No lol. Have you seen the amount of men online that literally believe "for every new d*ck that enters her she ages 8 years" or the huge amount of men on dating platforms that won't date a 30-year-old because "she's past her prime" even though they are themselves balding 40-year-olds.

😂

Genius! … but I usually look slightly worse in photos, so maybe I wouldn't even need to bother! lol

I look slightly better irl than in my photos anyway 😂 I just make sure not to use filters or heavy makeup. Keep the expectations low and then even something a little better can pleasantly surprise people.

im not sure but im gonna suspect that makeup at that sort of temperatures might be very unpleasent after a while? i mean imagine it just freezes on you or something. To me this sounds a bit like that picture for, i think it was women in stem, that had a woman touching a soldering iron at the very tip, people making these types of comercials just have no idea about what "women in x field" are actually like so they either hire actors to play what they think it should look like or they touch up real professionals like you because their intention is selling this, not accuracy. Advertising is just weird in general.

@@StabbyTheSkaven Very true. Sad, but true. Nah, Makeup by itself wouldn't be to much of the issue in terms of comfort, but given I can't really wash when I'm out in the field for long periods of time, taking it off would be a struggle. Not to mention, my dogs don't care if I look like a runway model or straight out of a horror movie, and neither do the krill under the ice...

Me too.

​@@VictoriaEMeredithGen X too and there are so many reasons why I'm happy that I grew up when we did.

Honestly there's good and bad sides to it. Coming from someone at the younger end of millennials I appreciate the ease at staying in touch with people I care about. I also love how much bigger my world became with social media as I got to meet people from around the world in different walks of life. And then there's downsides like this where your literal self-image is warps based off somebody that does not exist.

Hell yeah, that restaurant sounds like the kind of place I'd actually wanna support and if I were in such a position, I'd say why not make that two because I'd be fine paying double for someone else. Too bad though that pretty much only self interested people become successful or influencers because they actually have the drive to be the center of attention that gets them popular, neanwhile I prefer obscurity because I view fame as a living nightmare as an asocial individual ^^'

​@@discordiacreates6669 ughh, ikr! Being popular is a nightmare for me as well. Adding to the fact that the people from my country are known to be very toxic on the internet. Yeah nah, i'd rather be a nobody

@@foxinabox5103 yeah that's understandable, people from my neck of the woods aren't too open minded either so I'd hate to garner anymore attention tbh, already too easy to get attention when people think I'm 5 or 10 years younger then I actually am ^^'

Yeah! I would pay for any restaurant with such a deal.

hell even if i was the most exploitative asshole who did all this for the begging, if i already flew to greece, i would definetly cough up enough cash to pay for that meal and milk that tiny bit of charity to no end. Like i dont get why they dont, either they are actually so hard in this begging lifestyle that they could not afford it and they basically live of handouts or they are so lazy and disintrested that anything that isnt literally free doesnt even reach their mind

even in paintings. There is an example I find interesting, queen mary the second of portugal. Some portraits in her late years make her look beautifull other make her look terrible.

Was it Bernadette Banner or Abby Cox who did the in-depth video on Victorian photoshop?

​@@Duck-wc9deyeah I thought of that when Click talked about the eyes looking too bright. That is oil painting 101

Interesting. Does it only affect human lookalikes? Or does it ever showup in let’s say an uncanny CGI animal?

@@bea7823 for me, it's mainly people but full body costumes (like mascots & furries) also trigger it but to a lesser extent. I can look at pictures/videos of people in costumes but can't be in the same room as them. Puppets, wax figures, animatronics, and clowns all trigger it too, to varying degrees. Fake people are the ones I have the most extreme reaction to

I'm impressed by her endurance if that's the case, it's hard to stand in one position for a really long time, especially in an unstable bent over position like that. Maybe they used limestone or some other pigment to trace the outline and carved it later so she wouldn't have to still quite so long? It'd still probably take a while just to do that, so still an impressive feat on her end...

Because ancient humans could only trace 😂

They did hand turkeys too...

​@@darcieclements4880 how'd they fit those animals in those caves?

@@darcieclements4880 no they were definetly capable of other stuff as well but that type of image very much looks like a shadow trace. no one is disputing that they also painted pretty great works of art, i have seen some pretty impressive ones in person but that one could definetly be a traced shadow.

I felt physical pain from that

​@@mfbayern4243 i felt EVERYTHING

I want a different type of filter over my eyes after that

I feel like it will haunt me tonight.

Yeah, same thing with how freckles suddenly became trendy. Now, us, with real freckles, get told our freckles look wrong because we don't have them just in the specific area they deem "pretty" ...

@@arui6143 that's something my mom talked about a lot. When I was younger I didn't have her freckles, and she was glad it's "one less thing to pick on", but as I got older I developed freckles on my face, and people think they're fake 🙄 They will ALWAYS find something to bully you for, no matter how gorgeous you are

I don't know what you look like, but trust me: you are perfect just the way you are!

I'm mixed as well. I definitely have always felt just outside of fitting in with either side of the family - too pale for one side and too dark for the other. My mother's side has a lot of mixed race cousins though so even though I was paler than most of them, they never made it a thing. My dad's side, however, always had something to say about how brown my skin is. I don't really have a good relationship with that side as an adult. They definitely spent too much of my youth telling me how I should act and look to be beautiful. I'm much happier being myself.

@@arui6143 They doing what now? Ugh people are so stupid.

damn, that is terrifying. does that mean they spend more time looking at their phone than real life or what? I guess its sorta like how when TV was black and white people dreamt more in black and white. People must pay more attention to details of a photograph than a typical day's visuals.

This is fascinating. And a bit sad.

Terrified, I'd go with terrified.

Time to bust out the Nikolaïdes and do contour drawing. Should help fill in a perception of form. Not so sure about negative-space drawing exercise for this, though. My first try at drawing not where the object is but where it is _not_ gave me a headache...

@@w.reidripley1968 haha, I teach both of those in my drawing classes! The negative space is difficult to grasp, but I've had a lot of success with it. My comment is mostly concerning the trend I see with the students coming through my building, and I think a lot of it has to do with how short attention spans have gotten due to the nature of entertainment and technology shifting. They can't slow down and process, and my country's inability to see the importance of art means they also have less formal training to help combat that. My comment wasn't referring to the work they do in my class, though - just the various times students have shown me photos they want to use as references, and the very obvious ways those photos have been filtered.

If you do find a foolproof way to grow a moustache, patent the method. If there were a way to grow just a moustache- a full one, not a shadow of peach fuzz- I think people of all genders would be throwing money at you

Happy pride month 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 wishing you a fabulous moustache!

Good luck, bro. I'd give you my stash if I could. I'm glad trans men get hair with hrt, wish us trans girls had cheaper options of removing hair, though. 😅

Facial hair growth pattern is genetic and a fair percentage of men simple never get enough hair in the right spot for that. The various facial hair cuts aren't just fasion. For many men they are what happens if they don't shave at all. I know a fair number of guys with only a soul patch or only mutton chops or only a wispy stash. As such, they all shave because they don't like the hair pattern they have. So don't worry about it. Besides, full beard is linked to baldness so count your blessings 😅

Um are like hair transplants a thing? I have absolutely no idea if they do it for humans, but I know there are procedures for animals who have had surgeries and all.

Oh that brunette beauty influencer is hilarious! She DOES show herself without makeup as she reviews products, and is very candid about showing her weight. There's a blonde lady who's also funny, and tests products on their ability to subtract her "chins" into one. (My only critique is that she's very pink but uses yellow undertone foundation/concealers.)

Photo editing even goes back to black and white photos. They used to specificaly stand in front of blank backgrounds so the waists etc. could be edited by drawing on those photos. If you ever see an impossible waistline in old photos it's most likely edited

@@kieransky although I was talking about video filters (since people think they're more recent and advanced) I totally agree with you, and I used to blame myself for not having that shape because they didn't have photoshop back then, a human could look like that lol. Bailey Sarian made a great video about it.

​@@maryamshaaban74 old time video editing was basically photo editing on a bigger scale. They would hand edit each ind still and frame. From everything like editing a person to be skinnier to painting on part of the back/foreground.

For magazines, posters and other still images, two words: air brush. As in a literal air brush after which the Photoshop tool is named. Pictures of celebrities and models have been "touched up" to the point of being fraudulent for decades. "The camera never lies" is, in itself, one of the *oldest* lies. I don't think it took long after the invention of photography for people to think "there's got to be some way to make this as dishonestly flattering as the average well-paid portrait painter..."

That would be bad news if we manage to figure out how to stop aging. Sure, you're near immortal, but you just keep aging, and after a while, it's not so fun any more.

I agree

Oh thank goodness someone else said it. I was trying to find a way to say it without being mean and you nailed it ❤

I absolutely agree my mom has a chubby body type, so I also have one. And at my middle school to high school period, I was always sad abt my chubby body, coz she was too. If I didn't learn abt the different ideal body types in different time period & the facts that we all have belly/thicker thighs my friend (who learned biology) and some internet posts, I would still be like that. (Tho I am still a bit conscious abt my body, but I like that I'm not THAT conscious abt it now. (*￣︶￣) ) We definitely need more body positivity posts, news, facts and stuff in the mainstream media, or we gonna die with unnecessary disappointments of ourselves.☹️ I MIGHT NOT HAVE THE IDEAL BODY TYPE, BUT I AM PERFECT THE WAY I AM.❤ STOP SAYING THERE'S TOO MUCH FAT ON ME, MOM

some of my examples: in my city, a slim body is still considered as "an ideal body" in the mainstream media. So you can imagine how great of a fuss the mainstream media made when a female singer star in my city, Joyce Cheng, who followed a strict diet and had a slim body, became more fat/chubby. I found that in Wikipedia, In mid 2014, Joyce posted a Facebook post declaring that she wouldn't force herself to lose weight ever. (I'm not that big of a fan, but this is such a nice message to me) When my parents saw that Joyce became fat, they made fun of her body multiple times. The second experience I had was when I was having lunch with my parents and my grandma (to be clear, she's mother of my mother, and she also has a chubby body). My dad found a video about an over-sized girl having her wedding photos taken in a pool. He immediately shared it with us, and they laughed at how fat her body is, like "she's like a roasted pig.", "I wouldn't marry her even if someone gave me money!". It was absolutely disgusting. (Don't get me wrong tho, I loved them but this behavior is too much.) These stuck in my brain for so long that I wanted to info-dump here to clean my head. Besides, I believe these can be more examples for how the parents mindsets influence the kids'. Children would actually remember them and the remarks parents made, especially when the topics are about appearances (standards of beauty and ugly). Thank you so much for coming to my TED talk (x)

My mom used to be in the military when she was younger and was obviously in shape, as she got older she complained about gaining weight and she'd diet, I caught up on that and felt self conscious about my weight growing up. When I got to my teenage years she'd start making jabs about my weight and my body in general, like my breasts not being bigger. She'd put her insecurities of her body on me and I refuse to do the same to my step daughter. Anyone says that she's 'getting bigger' (fatter) I just reflect and say 'yup! She's getting so tall now!'

@@JennieOkami good job on cutting off that mindset!🥺 I really hope the next generations could live happily without pressures of not having an ideal body type

Yeah i have an ed and i thought it was just because i was bullied a lot in the past but my therapist said it sounds like i picked up unhealthy eating habits from my mom 😃
