Kinda disturbing to me how Snapchat filters went from being a dog to all of these skin whitening, smoothing and slimming filters which promote an unattainable beauty standard and make you think your not good enough without using one

This is blowing up so I just wanna say to everyone who relates to this I'm so sorry you've been made to feel like this we live in such a shallow world and we need to try and reverse the damage that's been done through these harmful perceptions of beauty no one can live up to

You're beautiful as you are and these so called 'imperfections' filters erase are a societal construct and what is seen as attractive now definitely won't be in the future that's already been seen e.g: freckles being viewed as desirable now where they wouldn't have been before

My intention behind this tweet was to raise awareness of something that I think about a lot we are all affected by this because social media is a massive part of our lives and feeling like your filtered self is better than you naturally is honestly so sad

My heart breaks reading every comment honestly it's not healthy at all and body dysmorphia has become so common and for anyone acting like this is an over reaction take a look at what teenagers are saying how is it right to hate what you look like because what used to be

harmless is now causing self-hatred and low self-esteem, I know it does personally for me and a lot of other people seem to relate we really need to work on ditching this false perfection for all these young guys and girls exposed to it because it hurts
