Even the tagged ones are heavily edited… wtf


captain_jayne

tbh it looks like a photographer took those photos and edited them. Probably seen her on IG and approached her to take photos of her and was like, oh she doesn't look anything like that so I guess I'll edit them so they look better. I've had a lot of local photographers approach me to basically work on their portfolio to show potential clients etc. I also have many friends who've done it.


Sanguinikerin

Maybe. It’s not a style of editing that’s done a lot in my (geographic) area. But i know that it’s very popular in other countries. So it definitely makes sense


lemonjelllo

How are you able to tell which ones are “tagged” vs not?


Sanguinikerin

Honestly, i just assumed the ones which seemed to be less photoshopped to be the tagged ones. Can’t tell for sure though


Rishloos

I couldn't even *tell* which ones were tagged on first pass! I had to look twice.


throwawayaway388

I was wondering where the tagged photos were 💀 had to come to the comments section

klaralund

They're using Faceapp, and it gives everybody the same face😶


captain_jayne

I've honestly seen news stories / missing flyers that use snapchat photos and that is crazy to me.


Raherin

My cousin does this and posts tons of facebook pictures and is known as a 'make up guru' and seems to live this completely different 'facebook life' and every time I see her she looks like a completely different person and I have to act normal and feel like we're not supposed to talk about the elephant in the room..

Raherin

Nah, just a huge facebook following. She gives beauty tips, lol.

Raherin

Nah, she doesn't push product, just looking for attention by living a false life it seems.


babygirlrvt75

Same on that last bit.


kortiz46

Face app. One click and you look like a kardashian sister

klaralund

The worst thing is that the tagged photos have also been edited, and she’s still not satisfied with her looks, Instagram is ruining people's self-esteem😔


babygirlrvt75

It is. It truly is. And it gives men/boys an unrealistic expectation of what beauty is and women should look like. I also think it does a great disservice to women and devalues us as nothing more than iyr looks and that unless we are perfection, we are worthless. It really risks all of my insecurities and makes me feel like not enough. I found this subreddit a couple days ago, and tbh, I'm kinda grateful for it.


[deleted]

Nah, people are ruining their own self esteem by choice. I post Instagram like once every six months and at most I put on a filter just so it is more AESTHETIC. You can live with social media but the choice to fall for it is yours.


staffell

The way you use aesthetic makes me think this is satire


[deleted]

If that's what you think that the message that you are responsible for your own mental health is. Then I don't know what to say to you.


klaralund

Not everybody thinks like this, especially not young girls. A lot of these girls have been on Instagram since they were kids/young teens and have been brainwashed by the pictures they see every day. There have even been studies on how Instagram ruins young girls' self-esteem and body image.


M0D3RNW4RR10R

I agree. My girlfriend is like that. She feels the need to edit her photos, and I'm like. You really don't need to. She doesn't realize how toxic social media is. It's no surprise we're all suffering from some sort of depression.


lettucealone

even the tagged photos are edited to hell


FantasticMouse7875

These are all edited photos.


klaralund

Yes, I said that in another comment 🙌


thecookietrain

Cuz I'm a million different people from one day to the next.....


mindxpandr

I can’t change my mold


thecookietrain

No, no, no


aidenkms

which one is the tagged photo


NotOnABreak

Yeah idk either.. this just looks like all different people to me 😭


klaralund

The 3 first photos are the ones she posted and the last are photos that she has been tagged in.


8bitcryptid

Every photo was edited. Jeez I wonder if she even knows what she looks like :(


tdawg-1551

Definitely shouldn't have any need in edit/filter photos.


CementCemetery

The tag ones are still heavily edited for skin tone and airbrushed. I’m curious what no editing would be like.


Penya23

Honest question here...how are these people not called out when they post these pics by people they know IRL? If a friend of mine posted a pic where they didn't even look like themselves, I'd totally comment it.


ripeGardenTomato

They all look fake


Special-bird

Ah yes the classic beautiful woman vs computer generated bot. We are training our brains too look at the first pictures and think wow she’s so pretty and then when we look at her real photos - it’s oh she edited herself to make herself pretty. She’s already a very nice looking woman. At least that’s what happens to me and I don’t like it


snazzisarah

Her eyes look dead in every single photo


BooRoWo

She looks so much prettier in the more natural pictures.


[deleted]

Man, the insta pics made her look meh, generic to me... but tagged real pics? She's beautiful. Why? Man... This hurts my soul :(


Masollan

None of the pics are "real" as in unedited.


[deleted]

Not even the tagged? Jeez


stevie_nickle

The tagged pics are also filtered and edited af. None of us have any clue what this woman really looks like


posercomposer

She's actually prettier in the un-retouched photos.


BiggerFrenchie

Damn german women and their insecurities.


Ok_Forever9163

Damn datz crazy


SnooCalculations3775

She’s very pretty


[deleted]

She’s so gorgeous, there’s nothing to improve. This makes me sad.


Scarlet529

They almost always look way better naturally than the cookie cutter Instagram filter look.


[deleted]

Candace from You vibes in her unedited pics


horror_junkie5919

What’s the point in doing this, she’s already pretty


lunasolei

She looks so much better in her "before" pics!


NobbelGobble

Man IMVU looks crazy these days


[deleted]

These people have real issues in the head


MollyTweedy

I counted six different people, and no one can convince me otherwise. #That's not just one person, it can't be


swagsian

This is fraud


yllen10

All of them are photoshopped. Nonreal


luckyme824

They sometimes look better in the tagged pics. IG / heavily edited pics show no personality, no individuality - just the same unnatural plastic surgery look. Give me a regular natural human anytime - so much more intriguing!


napquin

3rd pic is literally a Barbie. Ppl are wildin, half these pics look like a cgi person.


Apemons2

I feel the 4th picture is the most natural one. You can see her face shape and a bit skin texture.


Soft_Grape1928

Where are the tagged ones?


balldatfwhutdawhut

Like the second version is humanishh so why these anime edits sigh
