The Downfall of Normal Beauty Standards 

Sadly, it's body positive discourse, not face positive discourse. You can have whatever body, but your face must be pretty regardless

body neutrality for the win

For real, body positivity quickly devolved into fat acceptance. HELLO. It's exactly like when LGBT became gays only with a side of everything else. Neutrality forever ✌️✨-

Parental failure.

People were never really taught to love their bodies if we're being honest tho, it's just been enhanced like most problems or insecurities since the internet can turn into an echo chamber/mega phone

I've tried recreating the makeup from filters I like and it never looks as good as the filter :( it doesn't help that I'm not very good at makeup lol

Probably because it doesn’t exist in real life. Like Instagram models bodies look totally different in real life.

Yes it will, because makeup can be seen in real life, not filters ^_^

It’s not only the makeup. The filter does small changes in your facial proportions as well 😬

@@peteskrab4194 True... It does that to make everything more symmetrical aka "more appealing" 😒

Me too. My phone has built in beauty filter. You can't remove it so I set the parameters to minimal value.

​@@aprilianindy3200 my phone had it too, but I was able to turn it off. Good thing it wasn't super crazy like those Instagram/snapchat filters.

@thelordoftherings alien emoji 😂😂 so true tho.

@@aprilianindy3200 you can use gcam, it uses your phone's hardware but it uses Google's algorithm which is minimal imo.

We're using freaking AI in Tiktok filters now. We could be using it to make people's lives better but no we had to use it to help make people think that having standard human skin is a moral shortcoming. God help us all.

Universities are overwhelmingly young, beautiful people. You're just used to it. ,Just wait until you're in the workforce, you will have a new definition of "average".

@@KFrost-fx7dt I literally described that they're not beautiful. We're all normal. Overweight, underweight, with rolls, hip dips, muffin tops, double chins, unsymmetrical faces, dark circles, dressed messily, guys without the picture perfect six pack. People with body hair and rough skin, girls with hair on their chin or upper lip. Big noses, small lips, balding or going gray at a young age. Crooked teeth. Just because you think universities are full of young beautiful people doesn't mean they are. I know what kind of people I've been seeing with my own eyes. We all don't fit the conventional beauty standards in some way. Yeah, people in the workforce may be even uglier or whatever you're trying to imply but that doesn't make my experience seeing other average people at school less valid. Also, plenty of university students do work and I've done internships. I know what the "workforce" faces look like. Anyways boomer, I have midterms to study for and projects to complete. Peace.

Even in universities, there are people with very beautiful faces (most of them actually, both men and women) bcs they use makeup/skincare😭 I can't escape beauty standards even at school

@Subi no no that wasn't what I intended it to mean. The reason why i did "/" is because they either have very good skincare routine *or* they use makeup to look pretty

@Subi no problem!!

Even before filters the guys would choose the photo with natural makeup and consider it completely natural. Some (or maybe most) men just don't understand that women don't look like this 24/7

It's misogyny at it's core. Long ago some advertiser decided that women should be dolled up but men can just look natural and we think that's normal. Yup just the usual female marginalization. Nothing new in history.

Still not a real test, still means nothing, because they’re still photographs. There is no such thing as “natural photography.” Photography itself-even old fashioned film photography-distorts. If they had, say, the same girl from a filtered photo, and then brought her our IRL, then I might care about the results of this “test.”

​@@gravityissues5210 boys and men are shallow...reality shows that

@@gravityissues5210that’s the point you missed. It’s rare for anyone to look like that. Human have texture skin and most men, as shown in that social experiment, don’t seem to understand or realize that women don’t Naturally look filtered.

I stopped using filters at 16 bc I noticed how devastated I felt after

me 100% the same!! i´m know i´m not ugly but when sufing around on the internet makes me question myself 😿i actually wish there wasn´t any filters - i think it ruin people´s self-esteem 😶‍🌫 i don´t actually use them as much.. only one natural filter some times....but i think it does more harm than good for sure!

Yeah, it doesn't help that everyone feels the need to comment on everyone's looks too, that's not new but I feel like it's gotten way worse with ppl saying things like "thry talk big for being a solid 2" like anything below 4 would cause a visceral reaction, most people aren't hideous the scales are broken for everyone

​@@Hip.Username "it doesn´t help that everyone feels the need to comment on everyone´s looks too" and "It´s gotten way worse" and "the scales are broken for everyone" - THAT´S ALL SO TRUE! it is so scary! think of our next generation, they grow up in this and it´s already gone so bad because of all the media.. i feel like it was bad after snapchat and instagram came but now with tiktok allso it got WAY worse! everybody think´s of their image ALL THE TIME and you can actually feel it when you live your daily day to day life... I can, easily.... and i feels like it´s gotten out of control.. and he is right in his video, people ARE catfishing each other and it just keeps getting worse...the telephone and internet was invented to bring people closer together, but now it does the opposite which to make people question themselves with comparing themselves to other people´s PROFILE - it´s not even their actually life most of them but an extravagante and up-hiped version of😶‍🌫it is INSANE, scary and quite sad....

@@Hip.Username you made a great point! I agree that many people these days feel like others owe them aesthetic pleasure and feel entitled to rating/commenting on other people's looks

Exactly!! Just go look around outside or at the grocery store. The world is filled with normal people, most aren't super attractive.

I agree so much. Yesterday I saw an Instagram post where people were shocked that heavy foundation actually always looks at least a bit cakey in real life and I was just wondering... have you ever gone outside and looked at people's faces? The problem is not so much with filter and photoshop but with people living through their phone.

Agreed. When im in the car with someone and they're driving, I really like to casually look at the people on the street as we drive past them. Not staring ofc, i never start staring at people. But i like seeing casual people going on with their lives as we drive past them. So many people looking so normal compared to what you see on social medias. People looking avarage, people looking all different ways, wearing different styles and outfits and clothes and idk, it feels so genuine to see people going on their everyday life

Not sure that would help anything. We grew up during that time but everyone was still trying to meet those false standards. They will just go outside and decide that most people are unattractive. I saw something where people were advocating for average which is great. The not so great part is that they didn't think average is attractive or beautiful. I got torn to pieces because i said that I think the average person is beautiful. There were people who responded that you have to be perfect to be beautiful. That's how far gone we are. We can't see the beauty in the everyday person or their flaws.

@@mikochild2 Average is average and not beautiful. It's the literal meaning of the word lol A better approach would be to just not put an emphasis or that much relevance on being beautiful instead of pretending that everyone is beautiful. Similar to the body neutrality over body positivity approach.

So scary to think about but yeah!

Theres a girl that disappeared here in germany and they were searching for her with a filtered instagram selfie and this was yeaaaars ago, recently "real" pictures of her surfaced and people criticized the use of the IG picture cause it looks so different from the real her. To think people might have seen her but not recognize her gives me chills.

Im thinking we might be talking about the same person here

@@miriamnah6624 I was actually thinking of a different case (can't remember her name), but just looked up this one, and yes, sadly it seems to be rather common. I also just read a post on reddit from someone saying they went into a big-box store and all the posted photos of missing persons for teens are heavily filtered/flattering selfies. They should use school photos, or very plain, basic shots for people who are missing because chances are if they are seen, they will be looking like their worst selves and not styled like they stepped off a magazine cover. Of course, the media likes the filtered shots because it's more attention grabbing for a story, but unfortunately it does little to help find the actual victims.

That is seriously sad

This is why young teens and kids should be off social media and others should limit their social media usage especially if they have mental issues. Filters won't go away but these peoples who harm themselves by not being able to see difference between reality and fantasy, falls for scams, predators and are unable to accept reality are opening gates to censorship and big daddy control over Internet which in the end harms us all.

I literally experienced that in Middle school but with just makeup. I used to wear makeup every day and hated to see myself without it. It was so depressing taking it off and It took less than a year with full faced makeup every time I went outside before just the thought of anyone outside my closest of people seeing my bare faced was just unthinkible. So I decided to just quit makeup altogether once I realised and accepted it was a problem. I went from a full face to no makeup in a day. Still going to school, and having peers and strangers see me. It wasn't fun, but it didn't take too long before my no-makeup face became my normal face and I was fine with it. And It's much less depressing when I can actually look at my bare face without comparing it to my makeup face. Now I only put light makeup on for special occasions. And I try to look my best with self-care and grooming instead of covering and hiding what is considerd flaws by me or anyone else. While makeup is an art, it can be quite toxic and bad for you if you are not in the right mindest to use it. But there are no art in filters, its litterly just lying to yourself and everyone around you. It has all the toxicity makup might have, but doubled. It really shouldn't be a thing, but sadly it is...

And now many phones have them on the camera by default

@@kunilsen2519make up is an art for some people, what you just described was makeup as a social expectation. You felt you needed for people to see you, which in turn means it wasn’t used to express yourself but instead replace. Im glad you have a healthy relationship with it now though, many people don’t recover

@@RusticRonnie I literally said makeup was art. And I didn't want people to see me, stop putting words in my mouth. I was and still am the most invisible I can be by choice. No problem with that. And thank you. I think most people could benefit from a makeup detox. Not saying makeup is only bad, and that everyone has a bad relationship with themself and makeup, but a lot do.

That’s literally the answer to this entire problem! 🤣👏🏾

Same here and tbh is the only solution I can see thus far bcs is so damn addictive and even if you stick to some “normal or interesting “ accounts it will come down eventually to being more self aware of yourself and your image. I felt it when I stayed over Instagram for a while and was so damaging to me…

Same. Some people laugh when you say you have an addiction to social media and try to better yourself. What most don't realize is that they can't live without it, always going on it to update and post about their lives. Not saying it's bad, but having your life on full blast on the internet as well as always comparing yourself to everyone on the internet creates a big toll on ones mental health. I'm generally happy I quit apps like Instagram

Fr! I was super addicted to insta and snap and deleted both,, it was really hard to stay away so I actually re-download insta and then got my account suspended, it wouldn't tell.me when I coul use my account again so then I had to stay away and I got used to being without it

Wow, what a story. Great example.

Being 30 is much worse you are not allowed to age!!!

Yeah, every example of people who care a lot about other people not looking good that I have encountered were really emotionally fucked up.

Absolutely! Sometimes I may compliment people on looking great but after a couple of seconds I've literally forgotten all about it 😂

@@tfkdandsvkc my struggle with being 30 hasnt been about my appearance, but more so with the age I feel. I just dont feel 30! lol

@@ericainbloom Sadly it doesn't matter how you feel. People will see you as old and treat you accordingly. Many times you will just be a ghost. But I've been a ghost most of my life so yeah welcome to my world. Ready to get surprised at how people your age really look. You will have some old ass looking people coming up to you to try and be your friend, you would be like get away but you realize that's also what you look like. Pretty shocking but it is what it is. I'm 36 years old and trying to make friends at this age is scary.

I did the same as you said in you first sentence

This is exactly why I dont use filters. It messes with my brain. I can’t live with myself putting a picture out there that I know dang well isn’t me in real life.

I wonder if I'm safe because I'm trans. (Ironically less safe in the physical outside world but more safe in the digital uncanny realm where we have had more training on each other's nontraditionally beautiful/handsome faces for a longer time).. I already know what my own face looks like too well, but at the same time I don't like most filters because they force me more feminine and the masculine filters are still ugly or awkward. Maybe when they finally make a non-binary enhancing filter, I'll be doomed like the rest of everyone else. I think it is more cruel for children though whose faces aren't already fully grown, to mess with themselves digitally so much.

I tried making a tiktok video once and noticed my face looked odd. Turns out tiktok automatically puts a skin smoothing filter on you as soon as you hit record. When i deactivated it my actual face suddenly looked so wrong. Never using that app again, that was a mindfuck lol

Same here and I went away from it as far as I could 😑 stepped out of social media and don’t want to return ( other than RU-vid which is different anyways)

I'm also taking a break from social media, I don't think I'll ever not be insecure because I still see many pretty people around me. Though, I'm trying to learn to accept how I look like as to not be more insecure and not have low self-esteem

😢❤ hugs

I swear kpop raised the standard on beauty, but the idols themselves don't even look that bad in natural lighting!! I wish they could just be themselves sometimes 😢but I get a get it

Its not about the internet its about society the internet just shows how toxic society is

It’s funny because Korean plastic surgery always looks botched as shit. That’s the last thing ima be insecure about lmao. Kpop is cool but trying so hard to look like a Caucasian alien is fucking embarrassing

Damn, and now big lips are all the rage and thin lipped girlies grow up wishing for fillers. I remember the Kylie Jenner lip challenge, where you put your lips in a shot glass and suck creating a kinda vacuum which would puff your lips (or massively bruise them like you'd see in the fail videos), was really popular when I was in junior high.

Ohh my gosh I remember that trend! and people split their lips after participating in that aweful trend!

I did a number on myself with the Angelina/ScarJo comparison. My lips were full, but not full *enough*. I shudder to think about how much worse my self-esteem would be if I'd been a teenager now, instead of the early 2000s. I don't ever want to see my face through a filter. I'm almost morbidly curious, and I hope I don't give into it.

I also wanted thin lips as a child . I was born with full lips even my parents pointed it out. it did make me insecure

@@iiv_dannybo1 I remember those days. I'm so sorry you went through that, too - my parents made me feel incredibly uncomfortable. Looking back, it almost feels like the makeup I loved - dark lipstick and odd lipstick colors, which I love to this day - also functioned as a defense mechanism when I was a teenager (I didn't realize it at the time; maybe I'm making too much of that). It would make sense, though - if people were mocking my makeup, they weren't mocking the features underneath.

Exactly

That's a good thing to be taught.

I remember reading this and thinking, “naw, that’s not gonna happen, especially any time soon”, and yet only about 20 years later, here we are; it’s terrifying

@@C4TC4T even his descriptions of some of the tech was spot on. Even though, many of these thing didn't exist when he wrote this. He clearly did a LOT of research 😭🤷‍♂️

Yes! The "surgery" the Uglies get once they turn 17 is nearly a perfect mirror of teens nowadays getting lip fillers/baby botox/nose jobs/bbl before even having time to grow into their features

I was just thinking about this book

I used to be insecure of my nose but noticed my dad has the same nose, and i love him so decided to just embrace it

I hated looking like my (abusive) parents so I without surgery changed as much as I could, and I like my face now. Using a filter would make me feel like I'm wearing a weird mask featuring someone else or a generated person's face instead of being "the best version of me".

I was deeply insulted when my camera erased my freckles. I love my freckles! And I get constantly complimented for them! How dare it think these are imperfections it needs to hide!

Has noone told you that you don't have to post selfies on Social Media on a daily base?

​@@CordeliaWagner who told u she post selfies daily???

Just for clarification, because I am confused. Why do you need these filters? For trying out makeup looks, before you spend hours on learning the technique?

@@SaheeliRai that's basically the idea, seeing how a certain look would look on you and getting ideas of how to apply it on your face as opposed to going off of images or tutorials of people who might have different face/lip/eye shapes than you.

Same! I love makeup filters, sometimes I want to try something without spending hours doing it, or I don't know what to do so I decide to recreate a filter I like. I hate when they make me look like a different person. A while back, a girl I know asked me why I didn't follow her back online (can't remember what app, I've since deleted them all). I hadn't been able to find her account, so I asked her to just look on my phone. The account she pulled up was unrecognisable. Turns out I'd blocked her because I thought a random adult was following then 12 year old me.

Reality is often disapointing

​@@nelsama0881 I mean, to be fair in this case, reality is relieving. The fact of knowing that these girls actually look pretty average in real life and were only using filters brings you comfort.

@@serena841You are right , in this case reality is more comforting. I actually meant that for people who thought that very attractive girls/boys didnt use make up or filters. I feel sorry for the misunderstanding.

@@nelsama0881 There is no need to apologise. I understand your point as well, it sure must sound disappointing in this sense.

Lmao yes is usually for making the skin lighter but it does change the size of the face.

@@lauraitzel8334 skin texture as well! Even in the closeups I was shocked at how good they looked all the time haha. Now I know it's fake

@@elle5013 yep! Some idols actually do have nice skin (treatments, money you know) but don’t know if you have seen does compilations of their true skin… those low key make me feel better about myself

@@lauraitzel8334 yea those compilations make me feel more normal about my skin too! This was the moment I was referring to in my initial comment if you haven't seen it yet: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y1w_u-rekLo.html

Yeah those filters make idols lool like ghosts sometimes 😅 it's worse in K/C-dramas, especially when you know the actor's skin isn'f that pale

It’s called deadpan. It’s actually very funny when used correctly. My little brother does it all the time, and he’s a hilarious, sarcastic POS

His voice reminds me of Baymax from Big Hero 6 lmao I love it

I absolutely love his sense of humour

he’s so silly

Took me a second to realize you weren’t calling him a piece of shit, lol

that's true! older people always tell me that i'm pretty, but people my age (early 20s) say that i'm just basic and there is nothing special about me. Maybe becuase i dontlike heavy makeup or dont wear a lot of accesories, dont dye my hair etc. so i have all my natural features out lol

Yess. My older (not even old, like younger gen x) relatives tell me I'm pretty and I'm always surprised. I think spending time with family from different generations is a great way to be more positive about my face and body, because it's nice to be around people who are physically similar to me.

asian content used to be relatable back then, i feel like now it's just way too perfect it feels unattainable

Same. I'm also getting complimented by older people but I know that with beauty standards, filters and perfectionism nowadays, I'm not seen as pretty by people my age. I would like to be found attractive by my peers, though.

Bruh you acting like girls nowadays are expected to be tall. Bullshit It’s only guys that get shamed for that. For women only maybe if they under 5’2

The environment is literally dying and everyone is focused on dumb shit like whether or not others find them beautiful. Yeah idk man

omgg I had forgotten that trisha paytas stunt! I don't think there are any makeup/skincare commercials that don't use filters. Even the ones that show skin texture are still filtered just enough that you don't notice it.

Even skincare products are categorized as cosmetics so they will never show their bare skin to camera😂

I just hope everyone is aware that a bare face doesn't look like that. Especially the younger fans. Idols post their bare faces every now n then on private social accounts, and u could see the damn pimples and pores, wgat was the point of that teaser????

😂 gold...rolling your eyes....😂

What was even funnier was fans praising them for being so “natural” and “transparent”. Like come onnnnnn we all know nothing about K-pop idols looks is transparent or natural, why ruin your self esteem by pretending it is🫡

Yeah because social media is SUPPOSED to give you mental issues, that's what it's true purpose is. Is like saying you're making a conscious effort to only ingest a little bit of poison everyday, it doesn't work like that. Even a little bit can still harm you over time. I have no social media and I don't have any of these self esteem issues, hope more people can stop using these sites.

@@ItsOKtobeNormal you have anti lgbt user pic and use youtube, so you actually do use social media. Get off your high horse and stop being homophobic, which harms people not less than social media

there is a happy medium without going extreme on both ends, hope you find it

Whether you look good with a hairstyle is always just an opinion though. Be free outside of something superficial

My brain so quickly accepts the filters even tho im not using it often, that every time i look at myself in a video or in the mirror i go ”that aint me…is it.. no tell me it isnt??” And when i see myself behing a filter i feel relieved like ”oooh there i am finally”. So sad, i wish i could feel like you describe it and like the person staring back at me in the mirror was actually me.

Yup, on my 21st bday, my mom took me to get my makeup done professionally. I usually do makeup but it’s only eyeliner and mascara.. after I got my makeup done, I saw myself in the mirror and started crying. All I could think was, “That’s not me”, and I took it all off.

What also gets me is (mostly) guys saying they want a "natural beauty" But then bitch about women not wearing make up as them "not caring about themselves, what man do you think will look at you". Even better when they look at pictures of women with medium heavy make up and say "see this woman has no make up, a natural beauty". It's surreal that people are forgetting what a face without several layers of foundation, concealer and whatnot looks like.

@@nutella7162 the image we are collectively presented with is so far from the reality and the VARIETY of human faces that some people (especially the avid users of social media) are starting to shift their perception of what actually is an average face, or even a normal pretty face with no excessive features. Basically you have to look constantly filtered or even like you had some kind of highly altering cosmetic surgery to be perceived as attractive, even more so for males that usually don't use make-up/don't do heavy duty cosmetic procedures and don't realize how much of an impact these things can have on your appearance.

Edvasian is one of the most practical entertainment options out there.

Old youtube

Fr I look scary

I thought I was the only one. They don’t look good on me. I don’t like how it changes my features.

@@Jazzrib EXACTLY

Same I stopped wearing foundation for the sake of clearing my skin more and because i think it’s pointless when at the end of the day it’s taken off. It’s helped me get more accustomed to my real skin again and not care about covering any blemishes. I’m generally happier about that but the days I do wear foundation it makes me realize damn.. I look almost “flawless” with the foundation yet it’s not real and I hate that feeling of feeling insecure over the lack of makeup of my normal, real skin. I do wear a little bit of eye makeup and mascara though :)

Good for u?

you can wear what you want lol. ppl discriminiate so who care about lying

Because white people (Northern established countries) have the most representation. You dont see people from the South of color being shown off more in media thus northern cultures established the standard. In Latin america people wanna be either american. In southern asia those who are bit darker in tone, you see them trying white wash their skin with creams and bar soaps. No one cares about culture anymore when they are mixed

Now women wear so much makeup like the Kardashians they look like trans women

So true huh. Would be so weird to look back on vacation pics & pics of past daily life events only to look at a "stranger" in place of your body.

The thing about phone cameras is because of how they’re built, even they can distort how you actually look to yourself. With a few different photo taking techniques though, you can somewhat skirt around this for more natural outcomes

Talking about Perfect Match? I couldn't help but to sit there and pick apart every element of how they all looked. The cameras are just so clear and HD and distorting because I know for a fact all of those people are gorgeous IRL.

Probably because all of the people on these shows are really shallow lol

Idk but from what I've seen many have issues with fearing attachment or getting hurt that they haven't worked through. Or they are really picky. Tbh they might not even be looking for real love but just play the part for the fame.

Because love has nothing to do with beauty. At all. You may find someone attractive on first glance but that does not mean you will love them. There are tones of beautiful people that immediately loose their attractiveness after saying one sentence. This is also why meeting your idol will most likely turn out in disappointment. Since our brains connect beauty with a good personality and lifestyle (what ever that is in your brain) meeting the real person will never live up to the made-up standard of the brain. The opposite side to this is though that you can actually fall in love with a person that you didn't feel super attractive to at first. There are a lot of couples about which people would say "omg how did she/he/they get that other person?!" because one is way more conventionally attractive than the other - people who say these things don't understand what love really is. :)

Because finding love is not about how attractive you are, it's about what's inside.

I’m sure you’re so pretty! 🥲 I totally understand

@seraphim aw someone learned a new buzz word on tiktok lmao. babe i choose not to wear makeup because it's a vile industry that preys on women's insecurities. calling women pick me's for not wearing makeup sounds like your internalized misogyny is showing.

if it makes you feel any better, it couldn't do teeth either. AI generated "photos" of people smiling have a million creepy teeth. and they all still do that weird fadey-JPEG artifact thing around some edges, especially in busy areas of the image. i'm an artist too and i hate AI art with a passion, but i think it's still a ways off from replacing real artists. i don't think anyone can easily and reasonably do commissions/anything specific with it, just generic, soulless stuff. let's not give up yet 🤗 besides, i personally think it's more impressive to be able to do something with your own hands, instead of just forcing a robot to do the entire thing from start to finish.

@harusaurus Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. Your reply helps me have some hope to continue. I didn't know/ think about the teeth thing! lol. Hopefully, they will never figure that out. Very true! Definitely is more valuable, full of passion, knowledge, and true creativity when made by a human. In theory, I feel that AI is okay (to a point!) it's those who use and abuse it that ruin it. And how those people then throw it in the artists' faces. Those selfish humans don't know the damage they're doing. So, because of them, I'm against AI art, writing, music, deep fakes, etc.

I'm 17 and have only been drawing for 5 years, and AI art does make me worry about the future for mgself a bit.... Unless people really care about comissioning a real person instead of getting AI to do it themselves faster and cheaper things might be hard.... For something like art though I feel like it'll be very difficult for AI to nail it enough so even when it improves in the future by then we might discover some things to deal with this predicament
