Is Facetune & Instagram Ruining Our Body Image?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 лип 2024
- In today's video, I discuss the rise and normalisation of facetune and why it's problematic. We look at some photoshop fails from celebrities, instagram models and influencers, and I specifically discuss how facetune perpetuates society's ideal beauty standards and how it affects peoples' body image.

NEW VIDEO IS UP: How To Stop Letting Social Media Ruin Your Life & Mental Heath ua-cam.com/video/djU4x--10dQ/v-deo.html
I’ve seen/heard so many stories of black people getting bullied for their big lips back in the day. They got called monkey and a bunch of racist stuff.
“If people one day woke up and became happy with themselves, imagine how many industries would run out of business”
Fatimah Raheema Oh wow, that’s really crazy to think about
*not loving yourself makes them money*
Damn for real so many would go out of business
I wish, these businesses need to stop.
I wish ....it made me so upset about myself to see guys commenting and liking all these bikini models with everything photoshopped. it's like I dont have any value to live.. all these guys see is just slim waist big boobs and butts and they dont care about the feeling and heart
We are not born ugly, we are born in a judgmental society

Armmmyyyyyyy
@@thicccherry3224 fuck off
I love namjoon!!!! BTS is so inspirational ❤️❤️❤️
Second time I've seen this comment in this theme of video
@@thicccherry3224 what is wrong about this quote?
I was bullied for having thick brows. Guess who gets compliment s all the time now?
SAME when I was eleven everyone always pointed out how my brows were so bushy so of course I got them waxed and plucked them and now al of a sudden I’ve got such good eyebrows
Wtf is your pfp???? Lmfao!
Same!
Same! I don’t have to worry about mirco blading ever!
I was bullied for having big tits too early
The only photoshop I’m really totally fine with is correcting red eye.
Lmaooo
PinkCircleO8 that or to get rid of that one big ass pimple I keep getting on my nose 😂
I like a little tigh gap
PinkCircleO8 not trying to be dramatic or anything, but there are some photoshop artists who do wonderful work and photoshop is not just used to make photos look better, they can be used to make artwork! Photoshop can sometimes used for good
Justė_St you’re beautiful with or without a thigh gap. I feel like the term thigh gap was created so people had a reason to dislike their thick thighs. It’s just sad.
Every girl on IG looks the same. Same body same lips same nose same facial fillers. The last thing I ever want to do is look exactly like a million other girls!
Yes, and youre very beautiful
True
But some girls are born that way
@@Manthisucks101 it's a trend though. Like fashion. I remember when britney spears was big girls dyed their hairs blonde, got tan, and wore belly button tops. Beauty/makeup/fashion has trends and ppl follow trends that are in and there's nothing wrong with that.
"I'm not like other girls"
Facetune is genuinely terrifying. Looking at yourself and editing away your flaws makes you so much more insecure.
Totally agree! Had to delete Facetune because it was making me feel so self conscious and even though I have naturally improved drastically I never felt good enough- So I was like bye sis!🤠😂
I used to Photoshop my photos back in the day to hide my pimple marks and I felt shameful for doing that. Now i feel like I wasn't doing any bad compared to these people. Lol.
Agreed.
Let alone others who are already insecure and dont know that secret...
isn't it the same with makeup?
Why tf is North photoshopped she's only 6? 🤔
I know right she flattened her stomach and made her but look bigger
@@nabihafarah4478 isn't her stomach flatter already and butt bigger already
@@mindingmybusiness3915 yeah i just don't know what they were thinking
@@nabihafarah4478 I feel like they want to please society more and more. It's only harming their self esteem more and more.
@@mindingmybusiness3915 Well it is Society that form everyone's brain to think like this and act like it but i wish instead of just talking about this that our new generation do something about because it is our future. People think the worst of themselves because of what people do on social media.
I feel being slim thicc is one of the most unrealistic body standards. Girls nowadays are put down for being fat or having no curves and being flat
Yeah people call me a board because I'm literally so flat I look like a rectangle
@@Sarah-nx2ok I'm so sorry! It's not just girls with no curves. I have curves but people call me flat anyway :/
Idiot Sponges the boy that "liked" me literally called me flat -
twinkle pops101 He’s an idiot lol
twinkle pops101 He's a superficial idiot. Do not let that get to you ❤️
Growing up with a small butt in this era is really a struggle.
Klpse Mald Being a teen in the mid 2000s with a big butt was a struggle. I feel you. 🖤
Ehhh its not grear for tgose with natural big bums either bc big thighs and thick legs aren't in. Sooo....like always no one gets to be happy.
Hyacinth Holmes thick thighs are definitely in but of course only when they are flawless and firm. Which is unattainable for most woman.
@@velaria4930 True...le sigh. And god forbid you have stretch marks...
Just wait... Trends and ideals change constantly. Just stay healthy and be the best you. Ignore the 'beauty standard' because in the end nothing of it ever mattered. Just take care of yourself
Being healthy is really attractive
Idc what body type u have
If u healthy u sexy
TBH at least now ppl are encouraged to be healthy.. it used to be much worse - in the 90s there was an era of 'heroin chic' where it was sexy to look super pale and super thin with dark makeup round the eyes looking like ur strung out on heroin... really unhealthy.. imagine how damaging that would bee.
🙌🙌
@@roro-mm7cc Well not really with all the feminists going on about obese love
@@rerorero6493 yes thank you
@@rumyanaromelova643 Good to see another woke person lol
I’m a teenager 18 years old (boy) YES IM A BOY struggle with body image and insecure with my features. Girls tease me that I’m fat and boy tease me that I’m ugly. This issues shouldn’t be silent
I totally agree. Not only girls are getting blamed for their looks and weight. Boys too! I really hope you feel better soon. Don't ever listen to them.
Fiene Stadtmüller I’m really surprise that many people agree with my statement and going through same experience. I’m not saying girls are evil or anything but I do I feel pain and gone through suicidal thought because I don’t fit in.
@@idcman6692 those girls that are beeing mean are just toxic. Like I said, don't ever listen to them or any boys! You are beautiful just the way you are. Sometimes it's hard to learn this, I'm still trying to accept it. But please don't ever give up. You are going to be just fine. You are loved. Always remember that there are people in the world who love you, even if you don't know them yet. Maybe your future wife (or husband idk) or even your future child. You've got so much positive things ahead of you. I believe in you!
Fiene Stadtmüller thank you so much for your advice and I hope you are safe during quarantine together with family members or love one. I will take your advice and be the best part of me. Send much love to you and others
I am very sorry that people were so mean to you. I am sure they hide their own insecurities behind that and don’t even care if what they are saying is hurting someone’s feelings. You are beautiful the way you are and there are so many people out there that would be glad to have you in their lives. Please don’t listen to these idiots!
All I can think of is body dysmorphia, eating disorders, self-harming, depression, social anxiety
Make sure you keep yourself safe and healthy
😕
I had all of these exept body dysmorphia.
I still have social anxiety tho lol
And don’t forget gender dysphoria
@@fairyjuggalo8368 same
Remember the “thigh gap” trend?
Amina xo people were getting anorexia
yeah it was really sad
Now I get bullied for my thigh gap lmaooo
Thigh gap is not hard to achieve. U don't even need to be skinny. It just depends on bone structure.
I like the look of thigh gap more than big butt and legs
Controversial opinion: I honestly don’t like the “Kardashian” body. It feels- I don’t really know how to explain it- not right. Lol it just kinda makes me uncomfortable.
Isabel Vickers it looks like an ant 😭😂
It does not look like a real hourglass body , it looks done I get you
Uncanny valley
because it looks fake. you feel uncomfortable bc your mind subconciously knows that it's all photoshopped.
Yeaa but some people are naturally gifted and born with the "Kardashian" body are they are gorgeous.
Why would you Photoshop your own child 🙄
Shermta F she is sick
Especially when she’s like five years old
Its kind of like calling your child ugly
She literally made her child's butt bigger ?!?!??? Why're you sexualising a 4 year old ? It's so disgusting
The trend now is to have black woman features with white skin..
Thats so true,big lips,the curly beautiful hair and everything
Factssss💯
absolutely true and it's crazy because white people are taking away the beauty of dark skinned women and glorifying it while still being extremely racist. I feel so sorry about this
TRUE
@Elisabeth MacCurdy same happens to my cousin
I’ve tried Facetune once. I looked at it, then looked at the original and cried a little
.. Then quickly deleted the app.
I'maPotato ! Honestly same
Atleast your doing whats right :)💕💕💕
U should cry looking at the real pic cause of how amazing realness is. I can not stand ppl who face tune. Hah.. More like face switch
@@obscured9414 me neither! Just be real!!
You're smart!
Facetune isn’t a fucking art. You’re telling me James sees a Picasso and is like. Yep babe, me, I’m on your level.
Char A i love your profile pic
Art is subjective
love ur pfp🤪
No way. He’d never speak a sentence without “sisters”
@@plutoporn but. No. Face tune ain't art.
I was fully made fun of for my lips, people would call me fish lips or ask me why my lips were so big. But now it’s a trend, however still doesn’t erase what I went through as a kid.
Lava same
Honestly same
serena ongenda now everyone is getting filler to achieve thick lips...
Same
@Lava That's such a messed up thing to say to another human. wtf
3:33 her actual waist is incredibly tiny!!!! If she’s making it even smaller than she must have issues because that’s insane
I can’t trust James makeup skills if he needs to photoshop it to look better
Maybe you should be more respectful
Ryan how? Im genuinely asking how much more respectful op can be without censoring their opinion greatly
@@steelwall6655 i mean, he rarely photoshop his make up, only skin / bone structure. '-' they are just wrong.
@@Ryan-pg1tw lmao what is wrong with you
Ryan he expects people to pay 250$ for a crappy fan meet and he cannot even match his foundation
I honestly don't even want to look at instagram lately. All those 'perfect' faces and bodies make me feel sick whenever i look in the mirror. Because- i'm not one of them. Not even those people are this 'perfect' outside of the internet. But all my brain is telling me is to lose weight, work out harder, or simply hate my face and body. It's scary
Meep Yey dude I agree with you. That was how I was feeling and now I have since logged out of Instagram and I’ve never felt so good about myself. I go on there from time to time to see what’s going on with people but I leave as soon as I’m done. It’s not healthy at all.
I avoid it as much as I can.
What I do is, instead of feeling insecure about myself because someone has something I don't have, I learn to appreciate their beauty and alongside appreciate my own, notwithstanding the differences I see.
Social media is introducing you to more people you will ever see face to face, it shows you the people who want to put themselves out there because of their outer beauty, but until you see and talk to that person, in person, you're never going to get the full picture. All you have are fragments of someone's life, don't go putting the pieces together when you don't have to.
The reason I don't have an Instagram account
I used to be bullied for my thighs and now everyone compliments my figure like okay thanks. I wonder what’s gonna be an ideal body type in 2029
same here
It better me mine lmaoi
Lmao an extremely muscled body that can only be achieved with steroids and/or surgery? God I hope not
'Eaten apple' body type, thick at the top and bottom and thin in the center. Oh wait-
The obese bodytype. Ew-
Sorry but obese is anything but attractive overweight isnt healthy too but still better then obese
Can big noses be a trend?? Cause I'm sick of people commenting on mine
Elisabeth idek 😂😂😂
Elisabeth idek big noses are so hot
Big noses are beautiful. A big nose is a small nose is a wide nose is a narrow nose. We are all beautiful
Mines wide and flat yaaayyyy :’)
Elisabeth idek I really hope so
We need more people with big noses in the media!! I'm still waiting for mine to be "in fashion". Lol
January Snow I’m head with ya!!! Lol
Lol same I have a wide nose
I feel you
My nose isn’t very wide but I actually find big/wide noses very pretty!! Idk I just find them almost elegant in some way🤷🏽♀️
Idk if this will make you feel better but i actually love unique noses. I think it gives people a certain charm
i love how u put whomp whomp whomp in the background of james charles lolll
😂😂
Me too!
Imao I thought I was hearing things 😂😂
i literally subscribed when I heard it
"I absolutely hated my butt, it was such a mASSive insecurity"
Epic
lol i was so surprised that he said that on camera and i laughed so much
i SeE wHaT yOu DiD tHeRe
Yes
what’s considered pretty/attractive comes and goes in trends. your natural self tho? that’ll never go out of style. love your natural self’s boo 👊🏽💕
Love this comment
❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯
Beautiful comment.
this is so pure
Don't try to look like the girl on the magazine...
Not even the girl on the magazine looks like the girl on the magazine.
Remember y’all, we ain’t ugly, we just broke.
Im insecure about my weight,I can work out but im a lazy bitch
Ain’t that the truth.
Official_Bismah the only workouts I’ve been doing was stuff in P.E. Class
Is Facetune ruining our image?
Facetune ad : u will look better with facetune
I just got a facetune ad and it said that i was really offended
I got the Facetune add for this video too. Talk about being tone deaf 😂
I got a facetune add in the middle of the video lol
The general standard for beauty is so unrealistic, no one is born with massive curves and still slim,with a hourglass,long legs and a slim jaw and all that other bs.Not shaming anyone who has it but everybody is beautiful.We really need to change our mindsets.
Its all about society,I hate my big but still hate it and my friends cry the fact that they are skinny and want my figure but I want theres and I just realised that who cares now,We have to look like something,I rather of not fit in society and be myself,at the end of the day relationships and friendships are built and kept if your personality is good
I understand where u are coming from but some women are born with hourglass figures, where do u think the fake ones got their inspiration from.
@@Catsgivemelife Yeah true seems about right!! !!
I understand why people do it, but I could never edit my photos like that. It would make me feel so bad about myself
Same here
I understand why runway models have the same body type (designers need to know they can find someone to fit in their pieces and a lot of models are fitted for certain items, which I just learned) but Instagram and tabloid models shouldn’t worry about being the same. Be diverse!
Kayla Seibert ah finally someone understands why models are all the same size. It’s refreshing
So every designer is excused for making them all size 00? Yikes.
i also thought that runway models are skinny so the attention would be on a piece of clothes and not on model's body
Kayla Seibert yes!! Barely anyone realizes this. The models are basically just mannequins for the clothes which is why they have similar bodies.
mb trbl uh, as someone who dropped out of art school, that’s definitely not why lol. It’s mostly about the cost of fabric. And the designers own preferences. There’s enough big designers who throw big shows with models of all kinds.
It’s all about the coint sweety
You know what will ALWAYS be beautiful? Being healthy. Let's all focus on that.
Wow, your profile picture is so beautiful)))
This comment was extremely underrated
I tried to photoshop myself and honestly I died laughing. I realized that I'm beautiful and I don't need that stuff. I feel so much more comfortable in my body and I don't feel bad anymore!
ayomou lol one time i photoshopped my face to make me look like a demon on the sample iphone 11 at an apple store.
aww thats so sweet!! love that :D
YES GIRL U ARE BEAUTIFUL ❤❤
OMD IF THATS YOU IN THE PFP WHY SIS U ARE SO PRETTY 💞 EVEN IF ITS NOT WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT AND BEAUTIFUL GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!
I facetuned my self with a huge huge huge head and .. i looked so funny
I'm in recovery from anorexia and Instagram makes it so hard at times. I was already insecure about myself before I had social media, I can't imagine how all of this is affecting kids who are just starting to be aware of themselves and how they look. It's so sad :((
Hang in there.. don't let society influence you down the wrong path
Delete it hunni. And well done for you beating your demons- don't let fake apps destroy your welfare xx
Get rid of it. You will be better without it.
Delete your social media and surround yourself with good people that actually care about you.
same:(
I have 0 self-esteem so social media really isn’t really good for me only follow a few people on Instagram
Random Videos I can relate. My self-esteem is so low it relies beyond the very depths of hell :\
A ViRGO oof that’s a mood
one great advice i heard was if you can't replace social media with something else, its better to curate your feed , follow less models or mute those ppl who are not giving u the right vibe and follow more artists who create illustrations, photography and poets etc or some other type of art/work that u like
i don't even have instagram because of how low my self-esteem is :)
@@ondatbeat honestly you aren't missing out on it keep it that way !
I'm starting to think that the real problem about this whole thing is that we take our looks SO serious. EVERYTHING is about looking good. I think if we would all stop talking about looks (our own and others) and start focusing on things like kindness, love and gratitude, we wouldn't have all these problems.
Plus, nobody is ugly, people are just not being the best version of themselves.
Rain Drop The last sentence, I’m clapping 👏
The crazy part is the unedited photos only look "off" or not "perfect" because we have edited pictures to compare them to. I'm sure if we had no perfected pictures for comparison, their real bodies would be considered the ideal or beautiful.
The Hannah Montana transition music made this video 100x better than it already is
I WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT THIS. I SWEAR TO GOD IT MADE THE VIDEO COMPLETE HAHAHAHA
I was scrolling through the comments hoping someone else thought the same
Oh ppl got fun of w big lips..I’m black w big lips and ppl would always make dumb comments bc I went to a predominantly white school ...glad to kno they were just truly insecure abt theres💀
I was about to comment this. But ovcourse now it's popular because white kylie jenner has big lips😏
Exactly along with our big butts and wide ships
Sometimes people are just mean tbh nothing about jealousy
Yea not everyone wants big lips but specifically in MY situation, the same ppl that were saying shit about my lips and making me feel insecure are the same ppl getting lip glosses that plump their lips and complain about how little their lips are now..so 🤷🏽♀️
Ari D Black features are the most unique features. They be jealous, gurl💅🏼❤️
i wish big noses and crooked teeth could be a trend lmao i’d be famous 🥴
Yes, they were, chipped teeth are meant to be the most attractive, and Cleopatra's crooked, big nose was part of her, " most beautiful woman in the world" thingy.
As far as I know, crooked teeth is a thing in Japan lmao a friend of mine was complimented by a Japanese girl once for her crooked teeth.
@@georgia7537 yes, I've seen a video about it
In japan girls will have their teeth angled outward so they don’t look so perfect
My sister has both so I know it looks good👍👍
I remember a lot of kids in my class with big “Africanized” lips getting made fun of and now ppl wanna look like them. I remember my friends crying because of their lips
It's pretty hypocrisy. So many people make fun of others for dark skin and big lips but at the same time they wanna tan themselves and get plastic surgery on their lips.
I have naturally a thin waist and big butt. All my family is like that. Right now I'm enjoying the fact my body type is a trend. However, the "in" aesthetic when I was in high school was heroin chic and so I often got called a mammoth, the whole situation gave me an eating disorder.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
lol
Same. And I hate that it’s a trend
Same. Been bullied about it so much. And I don't like that they say it's a trend right now but do nothing to clothes or the sizing. I have a 66 cm (26 inch) waist and 110 cm (43 inch) hips and could not possibly find a pair of jeans or a skirt that fits right. If it's okay on my waist its small on my thighs and if it's okay on my thighs is big on my waist. It's annoying that sizes and clothes in general don't change when that it's suppose to be the "trend".
You're lucky :(
@@gabiyordanova7328 great point!! I will say I live in a latin american country and for the past 5 to 8 years big brands have definitely introduced (tho not that many models or sizing) lines of jeans that fit our body type much better. Usually called the "curvy" model. For a while levi's had the "bold curve" jeans and they did have the best fit for me at least. But I could only get one before they went out of the market (at least here).
Dresses are near impossible to fit right, they haven't changed.
But you're right, even though this body type is advertised everywhere the clothes are still not made for it.
This is why I don’t post selfies or follow any models or insta models anymore because it just makes you more insecure and self conscious
Nirvana Same I just follow a bunch of meme and shit-post accounts
@@verbumflore7959 same
And it's a waste of time!!!!
Being white with larger thighs really messed me up when I was younger. I was so used to seeing women with stick-thin legs being the epitome of beauty that I wore very unflattering clothes to hide everything. And now people like thick thighs? I still can't wrap my head around it
What does this have to do with being White
Moooooooddddd and even though now the bigger thighs and butts are the trend I still don’t like then because for so long I wanted thinner legs
Alocus Draws sometimes white people are more associated with being more slender,
@@rileycoleman2468 who ever said that? I'm sorry I've just never heard that
Alocus Draws so it is a stereotype, but it’s like how people say white people can’t dance. so my white friends would sometimes get told like your so flat. Because In African cultures and Hispanic cultures curves have always been like what most women wanted and most had genetically. But see in America since some white people aren’t born with those genetics but they change themself to look like that.
There is a simple solution to this problem
Unplug from social media and live in real life
easier said than done.
No its not
Mind over matter just hit the deactivate button
As simple as that
I disagree because it's really not that easy. For instances a couple of biggest insecurities in my body growing up came from others commenting on it because of what they had seen on Instagram. Sometimes, social media standards trickle into real life.
1Dudette4Ever that doesnt mean that you cant unsubscribe to platforms that contribute to your low self esteem
@@1Dudette4Ever Delete instagram for a week or more. Not your account, just the app. You can come back after that week is over. I have had major body image issues and body dysphoria, leaving instagram has been so good for my self esteem, as I realize real bodies don't look like the ones influencers present to us. My confidence is a lot better and I love my body so much more. I still struggle, but a lot less than a few weeks ago. Hope you can experience the same thing :)
Deleted all my social media and working towards a healthier life. I’ve technically reached my goal, cut out bad habits etc. Much happier now than scrolling across thicc selfies.
Me too ! I don’t even miss it . Keep it up hun x
The Female Same I quit social media for two years now and it definitely made me a happier person
From my experience, Deactivate Instagram, workout, NO dairy & read a book. trust me .. you will grow to love yourself better then you would to an influencer
River island sorry, I don’t really understand about the dairy one, why can’t we consume it? Apparently it give you acne but isn’t it “healthy”, helps our bones get stronger, etc...?
Dairy makes you fatter right? So isn’t that a good thing?
Naisa Brookes lmaoooo dairy doesn’t ‘make you fat’, no exact food makes you fat it’s just your over consumption of any food.
@@vanessa.p1998 Studies have shown that milk makes the human bones even weaker. In countries like Sweden where much milk is consumed, the majority of the population suffers from osteoporosis. It's because cow milk contains hormones that help the cow's calf to grow. But these hormones are bad for the human body. Consuming cow milk can also lead to the growth of tumors.
Kim Z ok thank you, but I also did a quick research and majority of articles are saying that milk is essentially healthy as it’s high in protein but some also mention that excess intake of calcium can lead to increase risk of prostrate cancer. Is this what you were talking about? I’m a bit confused because there wasn’t really a straight answer they just say it’s “good”
Rip to the women who work out for a big butt, just for the ideal body type to strangely change. 💀
Olivia Mae I think healthy will always be on trend. For example, men with abs/arms muscles etc, never really go out of trend. I feel as though it’s the same for women weight trainers/lifters. People understand the work put in and praise it. But I see what you mean, there are women who just squat all day long hoping to gain just a booty haha
It’s annoying bc big butts have always been a thing in Black/Puerto Rican culture. It’s only when these Kardashians decided that they wanted to get a big butt that it became a thing for mainstream America to do. Big butt may go away for you guys, but it’s something that won’t go away in our culture.
Star Feather i agree
In some places big butts are not a trend though... They've always been the ideal body type, so????
Facetune manages to call you ugly in the most sneaky way
And by using it you are agreeing
I wish you also talked about the racial implication of the ideal body types we have today. Slim thick is not a new concept but has been around for decades with certain racial groups
Yep. The Latina ideal body type are the dangerous curves with the famous 90-60-90 measurements. Thick, curvy girls yet small at the right places.
Lynda Vel mmhmmm
The worst part is a lot of these ppl claim “love yourself everyone’s perfect” however then photoshop the shit outta themselves
Anastasiya Kvitko’s photoshops are just plain ridiculous.
Natasha La Bagasha she literally makes everyone thinks that’s really her. Like it’s beyond crazy: she looks NOTHING like she does in person.
And the fact that so many people follow her and idolize her... so crazy
LMFAOOOO the James Charles “woo woo woo yeaaaa” I’m screaming
Okay am I the only one who has instagram to follow memes?
Yep. I had to open one for photography class and I wasn't happy about it. But, I just follow 2 close friends, family, memes and photography. It helps me stay healthy.
Lynda Vel my problem is that these days even my closer friends facetune too so I’m never looking at real bodies. It’s affected me in a nasty way too. FaceTune shouldn’t exist.
I stalk art accounts. I love seeimg art improve. It so satisfying
You're not the only one 🙋♀️🙋♀️
Same and Alan Walker's profile ❤
For someone who’s currently hella dying under uni pressure this video is fantastic quality 👏🏼👏🏼
i feel you fam
I used to feel so complexed about my tiny body but after a while of seeing Ariana Grande I started to feel much better and so much more confident and I truly thank God for that.
It was the same thing with freckles. I remember looking up ways to get rid of freckles because I got teased about them. Now people are getting them tattooed onto their face! I personally came to love my freckles as I grew older.
It feels weird having people obsess and change their appearance to have what I used to get bullied for 🤷🏻♀️🙃
DUDE. It drives me insane how I never saw models with as many freckles as me yet now "perfected" freckles are in. Ridiculous.
A R. Rich?! It’s so strange how that happens
I swear !! It's always the things they bully for that they try to imitate !!
Luke Alexander is W O K E
I've never used facetune, and the only thing I would potentially use it for is something temporary like a pimple. I'm gald conversations about this are being opened.
I used to be SO insecure about not being "thicc". I would get teased and bullied for it too, it was humiliating.
Love your body the way it is! People who try to bring you down should be minding their business 👀✌
Black ppl definitely got fun of for our big lips. And there’s been so many caricatures made of it throughout the past decades.
Ghetto hairstyles 🙄now mainstream
Now everyone is tryna look like them
@@Demi.d3mi no one said they were
Christina x Small minded. Blacks, Asians. Whites. All beautiful. I have yet to see an ugly black man or woman. They all look beautiful. And I’m sorry that you sound so jealous of us but I’m proud of my melanin and you can’t make me feel small. Africans aren’t ugly and Africa isn’t a place for ugly people. So excuse me if I don’t want to listen to a random person on the internet who is telling me that black people are pathetic. We survived slavery. That is not pathetic. You will not belittle me or my people.
We are black and beautiful. I love my skin tone and my history.
Christina x and here we have a racist Becky.
im guilty of facetuning, i slimmed my face and nose bc of i was so insecure of everyone on instagram. now im trying to embrace my real features...
Be yourself 😂 no need to change the beauty you were already born with
I used to get made fun of for having really thick eyebrows as a child got called "hairy" "man brows" "bush brows" got told all the time to go pluck them growing up in the early 2000's. Nowadays people say I have such nice eyebrows even when I don't pluck them they are "on fleek''
Same, I've always a big part of my eyebrows that were straight, which were considered super ugly and now everybody makes their eyebrows straight... Smh
SAME
Same. Also always had huge curly hair and hated it, took me 20 years to fall in live with it again.
I APPRECIATE THIS VIDEO A LOT! I'm here for more videos like this! It is so important to shed light on this, I had no idea the full extent to which people edit photos, and definitely have used a lot of influencer photos as 'goals' in my fitness journey which is so unrealistic.
hope you all enjoyed the video!❤️ make sure to thumbs up if u do! it really helps me out😌 and comment what u thought of it! id love to know what u think🤠 and if u want to see more videos like this just check the description 😁 I hope you’re all having a great day or night wherever you are in the world 💛 and i’ll see u in my next video hopefully🥰
Luke Alexander 6:28 people made fun of me cause I have big lips... But I don't xare
Luke Alexander omg thank you sooooo much for this video ❤️ it really opened my eyes about body image. You are such and INSPIRATION for young people !!!! Just keep spreading awareness on these topics, I really enjoy watching you talk about then X
Thank you!!
Hi Luke, thank you for discussing this issue! One thing I want to mention is that this "new trending" body type (big lips, curvy bodies & big butts) usually associated with black women was seen as unattractive and beastly throughout history. Imagery throughout history weaponized the same trending beauty ideals today to belittle black women, but in the black community these trending beauty ideals were typical and seen as most desirable. What we are seeing is these physical features embraced in mainstream society because influencers gave permission to accept and desire them. I do a lot of research on various topics in relation to black women and just wanted to share.
u don't need to edit your photos at all
omfg u're so wise and well spoken i could listen to u for HOURS

You are so AWESOME, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HONEST AND HEALTHY INPUT! Almost no one in my industry hasn’t had a real photo without a filter, Facetune pro and skinny apps or beauty related ones....or all of them at once! . Men see this and think that’s how they look, same with video editing...it’s all super misleading and unfortunately taken over their daily social media norms. Yes, stop perpetuating the same body type!!!!!!!
that's why I'm not using social media that much and when I see some of that toxic shit I block that and I'm living my own life
it fells so good to know that people like you still exists, thank you
I always really love to listen to your opinions and you bring up such good points! I'm very happy that you're not afraid to speak your mind and bring up things that are really affecting the world that a lot of people may not notice. I believe that this is really big issue and has been for a long time. Let's all help spread awareness and help everyone to love themselves and embrace who we are. Thanks for the great content! Love you and your videos!
Avrie Brown aw thank you so much!!!
thank you so much for saying this!!! It makes me feel so much better about choosing not to wear makeup. I want to be honest with myself and with others. I want to take care of myself authentically and you've helped me feel more confident about doing that
That's actually one of the reasons I deleted Instagram! And I haven't been happier before..!
@Gamer Grill thank you, that's really sweet ❤ I wish the same for you 😊❤
I didn’t delete Instagram but I’ve severely limited my time on it to maybe 30 mins a week and I never look at other people just mad men quotes, classic Rock bands and GCSE memes just as it should be 😊 and it’s really helped. Glad you were able to feel better too :)
I agree and when I was younger,I had big lips and people made fun of me and now that i am a teen and it's a trend everyone compliments me
@@mothbrothar6652 yeah, I am.
Same : (
i absolutely ADORE you you’re so well spoken i feel like i could listen to you talk for hours
Same, it's nice to hear him talk
I literally got a Facetune 2 ad in this video.😂
Same lmao
Same😂😂
I don't even have to watch the videoand i can answer : Yes, Facetune and Instagram are ruining our body image
This is such a powerful message, I 100% agree - social media culture was part of the reason I developed an eating disorder in the first place, so glad to see people like you speaking the truth online though!!
Hey King!! I just found your channel and I have to say, I'm impressed. It feels good to find someone who has the same views as I do. Also congrats for 43k!!! You deserve it!
Kevaun McClorrine aw thank u
@@LukeAlexander of course hun! ✨
53k Now - Algorithm God’s be Praised 😂
At the end of the day, we have to reflect on our media and the expectation it sets for women. You’re right, our standards change ALL the time and we all have to love the body we’re in. Love this video! Great content.
I felt the same about my butt whn I was a teenager and now is “trendy” 🤯
True.
never comment on youtube videos but i actually love your channel have binge watched every video
juliana ammann aw thank you😌💛
I remember my friend back in middle school wanted to look like Eugenia Cooney :/
Your friend wanted to be anorexic?
Are you feeling it now Mr Krabs? they said ‘look like,’ not ‘be’
Are you feeling it now Mr Krabs? Well if they wanted to look like her they would be anorexic
Maya Loll ..Anorexia isn’t a body type. It’s an eating disorder.
eugenia is a goddess
I had to stop using the Pretty filter on snapchat. I started to feel like I was not beautiful to the extent that I could not take a selfie or such without it. And that's just on my face. Imagine having an app that does that to the entire body... woah. hello issues and anxiety. (fine I have that already, but multiplied then xD )
The biggest problem with in influencers editing their appearance is that not only do they make themselves the ideal bone structure and body type, their bodies are seen as what a healthy lifestyle looks like. This is especially harmful because living a healthy lifestyle has nothing to do with your body type. Sure, eating healthy and exercising regularly can alter your body type to a certain degree but ultimately, your body type is mostly determined by hormones and genetics. The popularization of skinny and “slim thick” bodies is leading to the shaming of overweight people who might be living a healthy lifestyle but are seen as lazy and unhealthy. People like to point out that there are health risks to being over weight and act as if they are just concerned about their health. It’s true there are health risks to being overweight, but there are just as many health risks to being underweight, and more health risks to drinking and doing drugs. People don’t address the celebrities or influencers who openly do harmful drugs often or drink a lot, which present greater health risks than being overweight, because they see their edited bodies that look skinny or toned or slim thick and assume they are healthy people. This is soooo harmful because it leaves overweight people shamed by society as disgusting, lazy and unhealthy. People develop eating disorders and many other mental illnesses because our culture teaches that if extremely unhealthy practices lead to a certain appearance, they become healthy even though they are worse than just being overweight.
this deserves so many more likes!!! a really important message, and so eloquently worded. thankyou ❤️
I really love how you think before you speak and speak with intention, it's a really admirable quality, and I love your videos for that. Keep doing what you do :)
I stumbled upon some of your older videos earlier this week and I've been obsessed with you. Literally, I agree with everything you said and you deserve so much more subs. Also, some of your videos have been pretty eye-opening and I've learned a lot. Thank you.
New level of hipocracy: Being "body positivity ambassador" while modifying your photos. What is the point?!
@A.A. 2750 Thank you so much! English is not my native language and it is good for me to know how to write it in future. 😊
I literally got Facetune 2 ad on this video. I totally agree with you, these "ideal" bodies are clouding our minds in way we see our bodies.
You have a James Charles vibe, I’m not sure if it’s just because you talk fast or if it’s the way you explain things. But either way, love your videos!
It's because he's gay, moves his hands alot and talks fast. They also both have a slight lisp. It's literally a common type of gay man 😂
Nikita Dolan I’m pretty sure he is bisexual but maybe he is just more feminine
@@izzyreigel6297 I would think gay, but nothing wrong with either.
I'd say it's the way they speak that makes them kind of similar.
@@nikitauidubhlainn7181 he siad hes bisexual
YOU DESERVE SO MANY MORE SUBSCRIBERS!! You are literally the most underrated UA-cam channel ever.
why is this just now being recommended to me!!! i love this video and i never see anyone talking about how problematic it can really be ty!!
This is the first video I see of you. And you deserve a lot more views on this video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Honestly it just makes me work harder at the gym and Be more consistent with clean eating so I kind of don’t care because I don’t need face tune since I am actively doing something about it
Good message and great edits! Cheers man!
“Comparison is the thief of joy” and all that. It took me forever to love myself and stop comparing. It’s a daily fight sometimes, but it does get better (as you know). Keep it up!
I've had many thoughts on this subject, and you basically touched all of them. Kudos!
This video came down from heaven. I recently deleted my Instagram ( also Facebook) because I was finding too much “perfection” that was starting to affect the concept of beauty I have. Instagram is getting unbearable with so much superficiality. That was my solution. I want to live a real life and I feel so much better without that app. It seriously can destroy your self love.
