  • Gigi, girl - STOP EDITING YOUR INSTAGRAM PICTURES! I like Gigi Hadid, she seems really lovely and down to earth. So I was a bit disappointed when I saw her Instagram, and what appears to be a crazy amount of photo editing going on. Facetune or photoshop - whatever it is, the pictures that Gigi has been posting are not an accurate representation of what she (or any other human!) looks like in reality. WHY Gigi? Surely you know better than this! Yes, we all have the right to edit our pictures technically speaking, but is it ethical? Especially when your career is based around your looks? And you're a role model to millions of people worldwide? I personally think that editing your pictures to this extent is quite damaging to the self esteem of (not just yourself) but women everywhere. It is perpetuating unrealistic beauty standards, that no one can live up to in real life, or online - except wit the use of editing tools.

    I think the problem is our entire society has been brainwashed to think that physical appearance is very important and that we all are highly flawed compared to others. Look at images of models in the 70’s and 80’s. Their faces look completely different than people look now. There were techniques even then to blur flaws and tweak photographs. But everyone didn’t look like a doll. I think with progress of technology we’ve all become too used to seeing the unreal version of public persons that we now literally all compare ourselves to something that does not exist in real life. It happens subconsciously because of what we’re seeing in media.

    • @jojoindigo

      Totally agree. But I think it’s mostly on digital media. Like we don’t expect people to look like that irl.
      edited pictures get more likes and engagement on social media. That’s just how it is. we love seeing the perfect version of things in this altered reality on our tiny screens.
      Obviously when you look like a completely different person, that’s taking it too far.

      Exactly. When I was growing up I always kept hearing "Everyone has flaws and if you got the money to fix it do you girl." But I NEVER saw anything about myself as flaws. Yes I make mistakes but the way I look and how I am is not a flaw. I love the way I look at every stage of my life. Idc what people say I will always promote and encourage love yourself as you physically are and take good care of yourself. I told an older woman I'm her 70s she was beautiful at a wedding celebration the other day. And she was shocked I said it. It was so sad because she really was.

She is competing with women and girls a decade younger than her, and I'm sure she is going to be insecure.

      She probably also doesn't have full control over her social media so rather than say don't edit her team will say edit some more.

I didn't even realized when I got brain washed.
    Watching this video I found myself thinking Gigi looked older in the non edited pictures and I hated it because now it seems that at some point I adopted the "any trace of texture or shadow on your face = unattractive" and that is not truth and it sucks. I will fight this as much as I can and hope the new generations will do too.

      What most ppl do NOT get is how the evil globalists who run the world (the "powers that be" that really shouldn't be!) are in charge of all the AI systems that create filters like this and they are the ones who orchestrate, manipulate and market these products. Then, they stage the trends by using celebs as 'useful idiots'/ shills, etc., to endorse them and then obligate the public masses to fall for these dehumanizing hipster trends through the celeb usage & endorsements. It's a shame that models this young and gorgeous play along w/ this trendy BS.
      I think the video creator (Stephanie L) has good points about how Gigi is surprising her b/c of how she is one of those rare models that comes across more down to earth, etc...so why would she do this?, etc...but I think what she was trying to say that she didn't quite articulate is how Gigi is falling for hipster culture and how this, in and of itself, is the actual problem that needs to be further examined b/c this issue is NOT just a beauty standard issue - it's a political, religious, cultural issue all across the board that covers many subjects that affect our lives.
      And ppl we consider cool, approachable and humble SHOULD DEF. NOT be hipsters - hence our shock in Gigi falling for this nonsense. It's good to be 'hip' but not a 'hipster'. There is a diff in these two things and most ppl are binary thinkers who can't understand how to reconcile duality concepts like this and they fall for false dichotomies w/out nuance so the blind leads the blind. Hipsters are 'tragically hip' and fall into this hyper fad/unrealistic trend of being super super perfect and that kind of perfectionism is not only SUPER UNHEALTHY but it is a twisted way of normalizing this trend into a celebration of the fake human and this fakery is so so dehumanizing to the point of making future generations fall for much worse.
      Humans are def. being encouraged to be less real, and are being REPLACED by machines and robots and this is a huge step in that slippery slope that is being shaped and molded right now before our very eyes - as this technocracy is 'hidden in plain sight'. However, most ppl are deeply naive and deeply insecure w/ huge egos and don't care and like Stephanie said, 'they praise her filtered pics' instead of calling out the fakery. These are the enabling hipsters who want to be super hip as well as they are what I will call 'hipster adjacent' b/c they want what Gigi has - fake or not. Let's also be clear - this is not the same thing as cosmetically enhancing yourself w/ make-up or surgery/ procedures which is not a bad thing if done right for right reasons. These are tech filters - very diff animal!
      The blind fans are even worse than the celebs. This is called ENABLING folks. Stop fawning after and buying into this crap and STOP enabling narcissistic globalists who wish to turn us into robots who later on, will not have enough humanity to say no to all this evil and will just fall to their knees and worship this beastly system of fraudulence and deception to this degree. In the next 20-40 yrs, we won't recognize ourselves very much at all if this bullshit keeps trending!
      Come on people - STOP. BEING. HIPSTERS.....................!

    Gigi is gorgeous. Cherubic is such a perfect word that you used to describe her features. I have a similar cheek structure & sometimes it bothers me as I’m getting a bit older. She seems beautiful inside & out. Industry standards seem so harsh & sometimes fickle - she is 💯 an absolute icon. ✨

    obviously pictures from the carpet will look different as compared to those taken in the perfect studio lighting.. those pictures are meant to accentuate the makeup, hair and outfit. all I see is that the colours are more enhanced and the skin texture is a little blurred/airbrushed.. i met her before the 2023 Met Gala and I can confidently confirm that the instagram pictures aren't overly facetuned or sculpted, she genuinely looks flawless in real life.

      Plus, just having the right lighting & angle can do WONDERS to wash out or accentuate various features or flaws. I know I can take a picture in 2 totally different light sources or change the distance by a few inches & look like 2 completely different ppl without any filters or makeup. One reason why I loathe taking selfies myself.

    I believe celebreties have a tired look because of their hectic life. I do understand that women on general have this pressure to look always insta perfect, but that is on the society not the women. We need to normalise that those "imperfections" are normal not by putting them down or calling them out but with kind words. And u are doing a descent job at that.

    This was a much needed and much appreciated video. I am hardly ever on social media, the main things I watch are CZcams and sometimes scrolling through E! news app. But it is super helpful for me to watch these videos of yours because I would not have known/guessed that most of the pics I see on social media are photoshopped or edited because I hardly ever use social media. I never use any filters or anything with the pics that I take. Partially cause I don’t know how and I never post any pics anyways. All the pics I take are for my own enjoyment and all the people I want to share them with are people that I am close enough with to text regularly. So photoshop and editing things are all new to me. It really is a helpful reminder to see your vids and know that I shouldn’t be comparing myself to pictures of people I see online or on social media because a lot of it is heavily edited (even if I am not able to recognize it a lot of the times). I love how you normalize natural beauty and point out that they look great before and after their editing but the editing is not necessary and we are all beautiful human beings and all of the things they edit out are normal human features that everyone has. Thank you for the reminder ❤️🙂

At least now I know it’s not me not taking care of myself but even Gigi hadid has some skin wrinkling and nasolabial folds, which makes me more okay with it for some reason 😅 but I’ve always been someone to be hard on myself.

    Isnt it kinda delusional to be assuming reasons why someone would want to post pictures in which they look the most flattering to them? It might not have anything to do with her feeling insecure about getting old or having textures. Of course it can be really empowering to see skin textures celebrated more, especially when someone with a big platform does it, but that doesnt mean everyone is obligated to that. It feels so chronically online to expect these influencers to constantly only post something relatable in order to not make other people who are insecure even more insecure 😐

When I was in my 20’s just the right angle and good lighting made you look gorgeous. Now I try to avoid taking pics of myself cuz I don’t like the filtered look but don’t like it unfiltered either lol, so I just don’t post pics of myself. I get mad at my husband when I see the worst angled photos he gets of me. If I deal with that, I can’t imagine what it was like growing up in the model industry and groomed to be beautiful and to see less than flattering pics. I am not sure I would want to post it either, especially if you have an image to uphold with brands and designers. At least she’s not as bad as the Kardashians.

    It is a good mission to discuss the harms of filters and photoshop, however, your camera also has a filter. It can clearly be seen that your videos are also blurring your skin and improving your appearance. Many cameras do this automatically, however, considering that this kind of content forms the basis of your channel it would be an stronger gesture for you to go out of your way to use no filters. Otherwise, your criticism is not really backed by action on your part. Action that you so desperately call on others to take. The reality is that your point is moot if you use a filter as well.

      @@stephanielange Do you use BeautyBox? There are many editing programs as well that blur the skin and help with lighting. If you zoom in on your videos there is clearly blurring and filtering. This is the case when the video is at its highest definition. Lighting can help with this, and, in that case lighting is basically acting as a filter to hide (blow out) any acne or lines etc. Your videos are not showing your true appearance either. So you are profiting off of exposing people for doing exactly what you are doing. If you want to do this in the true sentiment of what you claim (honest beauty standards) make the videos as you truly are. Don't hide yourself with lighting, filters or make-up.

That is not altering your image with editing software. And no, I dont use any filter on my CZcams videos, you may zoom in again lol. My chest would be a lot smoother if I was.

    Honestly, just as a comment about the superficiality of outward beauty in any case, I’m a baby faced 28-year-old and for my entire adolescence and early adulthood, I was insecure about how much younger I looked compared to my age. Now at 28, even though I still could pass for quite a bit younger, the fact that I do look slightly older and I AM older now with more certainty of myself means I carry myself with more confidence. I love the role of woman rather than “young girl” like the beauty industry pressures women to resemble. I have more of a spring to my step. I have a relaxation about navigating my way through the world since I trust myself and my instincts more. This confidence (though wavering at times since we’re all human) is what makes people just seem more attractive regardless of how they look according to conventional standards.

    I’ve mostly posted photos of myself with a little tweak, brighten etc because I’ve always been a bit insecure about my image. There has never been a thing anybody could say that would make me feel completely comfortable or pretty because I don’t feel that way about myself. Unfortunately, Gigi seems like she was raised by a narc, reminds me of my upbringing in that way. A lot of the ladies I meet that have had a narcissist in their lives, seem to hyper focus on imperfections. Probably because they were pointed out to us, all too often growing up. When the person you admire so much, is so critical of you, it hurts worse than a million awful comments.
