I really wonder what the filters are doing to beautiful girls’ mental state.
Nothing good. Kids These Days™ (I’m an old bat so everyone under ~25 is a kid 😅) have it really tough when it comes to appearance, and the pressure isn’t mainly on just women and girls anymore either – there’s a lot more pressure on guys too nowadays.
Younger generations have gotten many things way more right than us Gen X’s, but sadly many things are a lot more fucked up too. I’m so glad that when I was a teen smartphones weren’t a thing, let alone influencers, filters (literal airbrushing doesn’t count!), etc. etc., and “social media” was BBSs, Usenet, and IRC
– Hegre, probably
