    This actually makes me kinda sad. She’s already perfectly proportioned, I really wonder what the filters are doing to beautiful girls’ mental state.

      Yeah, she just posted this comparison herself for awareness, she doesn’t seem to feel the need to use filters herself for her content thankfully.

      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

        It feels like we’re on the verge of shapers and mechs being real things. (Read “Schismatrix” by Bruce Sterling for the reference.)

          Weirdly enough, even though I’m a huge scifi nerd the only Sterling I’ve read is The Difference Engine and that was a collab with Gibson. I’ll have to give Schismatrix a go!

      That should just be the thumbnail, the video itself looks fine to me

              That seems to be an app specific issue. Both the vid and the embedded picture look fine with Eternity.

              Edit: Just noticed that the comment should contain the full mp4 and not just a preview picture. The vid in the comment is not loading for me either, but creates a preview picture.

                The mp4 videos don’t seem to work well across all apps, I uploaded it on the off chance it worked better for the other user.
