A lot of people dead don't realize that photos are retouched so heavily man, this is a good start. Kids in elementary school seeing this s*** and getting their brains warped from day one. Why are you against this so much?

Finally destroying insane beauty standards. Case in point:

I will say, UK women really be wildin with facetune so I don't blame them.

what do they mean by retouch? Cus if filters and s*** counts too (like Facetune) then that's like every photo to the point the untouched ones will be the minority. average young woman and even a lot of men editing photos before posting has been a commonplace for several years now

and it only seems to be targeting paid posts. it'd be cool if the companies themselves came up with something but i dont see this in particular passing. and it doesn't cover half the issue

I am aware, however a kid reading a caption that a photo is edited does not suddenly make them no longer have any self-esteem issues.

There will always be pretty, fit, thin, etc people they will see and develop self-esteem issues off of. There will always be famous/influencers/etc that perpetuate top-notch beauty standards that the average person cannot ever relate to.

This is going to have like zero impact.

In fact I think editing being disclosed so commonly would probably give youth the impression that editing should be normalized and expected.

could not disagree more, especially on your last point.

ppl dead using stuff to slim their face and body while livestreaming it ain't even just on photos, it's rampant and should not be ignored, it should be highlighted and kids should be taught that what they see on many social medias is not true to reality.

It's only for ads though so it's not really that great. People still don't mention when posts are ads all the time

Girl on the right looks like she was in Polar Express

Imagine being in the gov and taking time out to vote on some dumb s*** like that

Honestly everybody literally already learns growing up that photoshoots have editing, makeup, etc. If you didn't know that you are quite stupid.....

None of learning that magically stopped people from continuing to have self esteem issues from seeing notable/famous/popular people.

Also if you are an obese 10 year old, and see only ads with skinny people you are still going to have self-esteem issues even if you are aware its edited. It's still perpetuating that skinniness is a beauty standard, and disclosing editing is verbally saying that it is a beauty standard.

It's nice you have this 1952 mentality "natural you is great just love yourself its easy hehe" but these whole conversations don't really do much in changing anything when the notion is still that the edited beauty standards is what attracts popularity/success/fame/clout/desirability/etc.

Damn you right

In other tech news, the Apple iPhone 14 is rumored to be more expensive than iPhone 13.

It's pretty obvious

okay

Like please explain how a corporation disclosing "in order for this person to be desirable in our ad we made them look skinnier and got rid of their acne" going to make people feel better about being obese or having acne

This s*** literally sounds like it just leads to people thinking editing beauty standards is normal and expected to be publicly presentable and desirable.

Just as how us learning that actresses, models, singers, etc have entire makeup teams do their face before anything did not make us feel better about ourselves. It instead just made us generally expect that it is okay and normalized for these famous people to be walking around in ten layers or makeup. And now we have a generation that salutes Rihanna and Kylie Jenner for selling makeup brands to all their followers who would like to look similar to them.

okay

won’t solve a thing unfortunately

Soft!

even more insecure when they realise theyre just naturally prettier than them
