The ‘soft skin’ filters just make everyone look like Ken/Barbie dolls, like in an uncanny way. They’re far too smooth.
That's why I prefer the old Japanese/Chinese/British/French porcelain dolls.
I like the ones who make you look different in a more natural way... Like... Less blemishes or slightly changed eyes nose lips.
Smooth skin is just stupid
They definitely make you look more aerodynamic
See, and I just don't get this. The crazy thing is that half, if not over half, of the people using these crazy filters to try and look unnaturally "attractive" actually look worse for it. The girl at 11:16 is a SUPER good example. The super altered one is extremely meh, but in the non-filtered picture, she's like, cute as fuck. I don't know if it's just me, and I have an EXTREMELY HEIGHTENED sense for and aversion to uncanny valley triggers, but give me normal real girl over altered super model any day.
Pretty funny when they pop in and out though, looks like something out of Mass Effect.
I can’t believe clicks filter has been on for so many years and he finally showed us his real face!
OMG :O
but this filter he is using the whole time makes him look really good ❤
#YASQUEENSLAY lol
Of course! You can't talk that much about body positivity without revealing your natural looks. That would be hypocrisy and Clicky ain't a hypocrite!
uHm, AcshutakLLLYYY!
tHaT'S HIS FACE LATER

I find that funny that all those filters give off the effect that vampires are described to have in romance novels
When you think about it, they're often described as "being eerily beautiful", as in "so beautiful it edges on uncanny valley". Some even are told to "feel instinctively repulsive despite their intense beauty".
Yup.
Vampires are instagram/TikTok influencers XD
Beautiful description
@@lucaredroserose1966 eerily beautiful, perhaps?
Not too mention they feed off of your attention. They're energy vampires.
Good to hear that vampires now have an easier time blending in with society.
Energy vampires
The black leggings edit is actually a reverse-filter of sorts: She is first filtered to look *fatter*, when she puts on the black leggings she returns to regular size. At 19:11 the background is curved around her (the bookcase on her right, the wall to her left) and snaps back to normal at 19:12.
Good catch!
No it's actually 2 filters, first one to make her look fat, then snap to next one to make her look thin.
10:16
Another thing to remember is that a statue of Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, was depicted with belly rolls. If a statue of the literal goddess of beauty can have belly rolls, you can as well.
Thats one of the things that made me love my body.
Apperently in those times people thought women with a fuller body type was the ideal body.
Which is why alot of goddesses had that sort of body.
So my boyfriend often say to me that i look like a godess. It helped me alot.
@@justanautisticnerd8969 correct me if I’m wrong, the reason for that is fuller body = hearty diet fit for a god/dess
@@_pachycephalosaurus_ The aesthetic had more to do with the fact that she was well fed, which meant that she was wealthy. Before industrialized agriculture, food production was a huge issue, and poorer women, naturally, didn't have that surplus of food to bulk up on. These days, it's the opposite, because wealthy women have time to work out and keep their figure slim, where poorer women can only afford the cheaper processed foods, and don't have time to work out. It's fascinating the way the ideal bodytype isn't just linked to the fashion of the age, but to actual living conditions.
@@BlackEpyon yeah that’s what I meant!
@@_pachycephalosaurus_ yeah, they were like "look, that's someone who goes to fancy banquets every night"
Also, here you have one more person who looks like Venus 😂
my eyeballs! MY EYEBALLS!!!
You want some bleach? I'll pay
Pass the eye bleach please
Give the bleach please!!!
My first reaction to that intro also XD
Wow there Sat- I mean... Click
My friend was a model for Armani, and one day he saw a poster of him outside a store, so we took a photo of him under it. You can tell it's the same person, but also you can see how much they airbrushed and edited the shit out of the final product. Even he couldn't live up to the standard of beauty that he was modelling for!
This video is a good reminder that I need to start practicing drawing elderly characters and continue practicing drawing non-skinny characters. The joy I feel when I see characters like myself is pretty amazing and I want to share that with others because I can.
Unrealistic body standards piss me off so much.
I’m very underweight, I weigh less than 110lbs and it sucks. My goal is to at least gain enough weight to donate blood. My ribs and spine are very visible beneath my skin.
_I do not have a flat stomach._
My belly bulges out. My internal organs don’t just magically take up less room because I don’t have much fat.
If my malnourished ass doesn’t have a flat stomach, you’re not going to get one either.
As someone who's been borderline underweight in the past (90 pounds then, more like 110 now, but I'm short lmao) I feel ya. A flat abdomen (so long as you're not actually overweight) is mostly about muscle tone in the torso. Underweight people often lack muscle and so the belly bulges out.
I have a neuromuscular disease and when I'm off my meds (like right now, as I have an appointment tomorrow and need to have all my symptoms visible for evaluation), I pretty much look pregnant because my abdomenal muscles can't contract enough. When I'm on my meds, I can at least flex for a flat abdomen, but when relaxed it still bulges out because I don't really exercise lol, it's a lot like poor posture
People put WAY too much about appearance on body fat percentage tbh. Exercise is important too. And at the end of the day, you don't need a perfectly 100% flat cartoon belly. How you position your body will change it even if you're extremely fit. Just focus on health, if you're healthy then you'll look good too (after all human ideals for "attractiveness" in other humans are born from evaluating fitness in mates, allies, etc, so health is exactly what an eye for beauty is looking for on an instinctive level)
I really hope whatever you are going through will be better in the future, hang in there
I'm a recovering anorexic and my goal is also to get to 120 and do ate blood. I'm weight restored (99lbs) but my main motivator is to donate blood. Keep going! You got this ❤
@@luckyduckyisopod you got this as well! I believe in you !
As someone with the same goal, I wish you well in you're journey! ❤ I've been overcoming an ED the last 2 years and went from 80lb to finally 100 earlier this year (2023), i have about 10lb to go to be able to donate and 20lb until my overall goal. You got this!
Hey Click, as a trans girl, this video actually helped my dysphoria a bit. It’s not gone, but it’s a little easier to accept certain aspects of myself seeing the lengths others go through to hide and change them. Thank you.
I'm sure that you will become a beautiful woman^^
Homegirl, I'm cis and the majority of women have had some insecurities about their feminity, but I have seldom looked at another girl and tried to judge if she was "feminine or pretty enough". I'm sure you're gorgeous and the transphobes can suck it
Sis, what people consider "looking feminine" changes like every 5 years or so at this point lmao, just go with the kind of look/aesthetic that makes you feel the most comfortable and what you yourself find pretty and I'll guarantee you even if it's not conventionally feminine or attractive or some other bullshit you WILL look amazing, if any transphobes spew bullshit just go full on karen mode on them for bonus "femininity" points 💅✨
same, also trans here and dealing with drama irl because of it.
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH
As a woman in her 40's, the way you embraced women aging gracefully in this video makes me feel better. I have friends younger than me using botox, and it sometimes makes me feel bad that they are so against looking older. Like they must think I'm hideous. But one time I was really sick and had to take steroids, which made my face puffy. My friends said they didn't really notice the difference, but when I looked in the mirror, I felt like there was someone else in it. I feel like botox and other cosmetic surgeries would make me feel the same way and give me a real identity crisis.
Something I realized only quite recently is that accurate pictures of people are actually more of an exception historically speaking than filters are. For most of human history the only depictions of humans were the subjective interpretations of artist making paintings or statues etc. So the weird thing nowadays actually isn't that we are able to change how people look in pictures because we've been doing that forever, it's actually that we now have an expectation for pictures to be accurate to real life
All the face filters seem to homogenize all the features as well. Every time they show their face sans filter, I realize I was missing all the little details that made their faces unique.
Well otherwise they would look like a different person everytime they are filtered.
@@tatiana4050Huh you make a very good point. I wonder if you can use those unique features as random noise to make filters unique for each person?
Imagine if there was a *sans* filter. It just makes you look like Sans.
@@teamawesome5153 I want that now
Women (especially celebrities) always get praised for looking younger than our age; we get shamed when we look like our age. So it's no wonder some of us are obsessed with looking like 20s forever.
i'm 22 and i've been stressed about aging since i was 16!! because of all this social pressure around women aging
I DO look younger than my age. Doesn't mean I look like a model though. (Or good).
Or if you're 40 and still look in your 20'its ok. But if you're in your 60's and still look 20 because you've had some work done, you start getting shamed for it. Like Madonna and Cher. It's outright hypocrisy. Either your supposed to "look your age" or you're not. There is no in-between. Or maybe everyone should mind their own business and do what makes them happy. I think that's a better option.
Yeah you get shamed by other women mostly I bet. Men do not care.
@@TheHimmus No lol. Have you seen the amount of men online that literally believe "for every new d*ck that enters her she ages 8 years" or the huge amount of men on dating platforms that won't date a 30-year-old because "she's past her prime" even though they are themselves balding 40-year-olds.
28:57
is kind've creepy because it looks like the face of a 14 year old girl mapped onto an adult woman's body
To be honest, I wouldn't actually mind people using filters to make themselves look unrealistic as long as they are open about it and at least post a few more realistic photos every now and then.
My issue with this isn't the filters themselves its people using them then lying and trying to make it out that they look like this naturally; lying to people and enforcing the idea that this type of ideal body shape is easy to get and should be the normal for people and creating body dysmorphia
I think the issue is, it's not that "most instagram models don't look like instagram models". It's that *no* instagram models look like instagram models
Well, no, generalizing a group of people is typically incorrect. There is always at least one.😊
@@strangevol5264 no
@@strangevol5264 the one had irl surgery instead
Instagram models are mythological beings, most born of malice. They exist to trick & lure away the unwitting.
Or that could just be old school fairies, idk
Do they eat children like fairies used to?
@@strangevol5264
No, this isn't about generalization. This is about the fact that the stereotypical "Instagram model" face/body shape is not humanly possible to maintain.
When the filter makes The Click look less handsome than he actually is. . .
He's already at max handsome so
Agreed
Well, you can't make perfect, well.. more perfect..
It's like the Gandhi glitch in Civilization. His handsome meter is already so high that it resets to the lowest amount possible, and he starts nuking everyone.
It look cursed 🤣🤣
19:13 You can see the background warping as she moves, they didn’t even try to hide it.
Tbh, I find acne and scars beautiful. Idk someone put it really well online saying 'signs that a body is lived in'. Idk same reason I think chipped nail polish or messy hair are cool.
Click with no filters is so unbelivably unhinged. I fear no man, but I do actually fear this.
I fear no man except this one
He had filters?
@@SodapopTheOtter The joke at the beginning of the video
@@MooseShower haha I was trying to add onto the joke but idk if I should’ve lol
i think we need more filters that make us look like disheveled goblins. i think that would improve society.
Yes please
Hahaha YESSS
REAL
yes please i wanna be a goblin
I dont need a filter to become a goblin i look that way naturally and i love it
Scared that if I mention that Click pronounces "lighting" as "lightning" that he'll stop doing it, but need to mention how much I love it every time Clicky pronounces "lighting" as "lightning".
I'm glad I caught onto this stuff really young & stay away from unnecessary filters. When i use filters, i always avoid ones that alter the shape of my face. You can tell that some of these people are practically addicted to "beautifying" themselves. They must be so insecure in their appearance. I feel terrible for those people
So THAT's what Click looks like with no filters, now we know the real Click o3o

36:52 Let’s face it, filters won’t work on cats. They are already unrealistically perfect anime dogs.
Huge, colourful eyes, tiny noses, sleek hair… cats are the future. They took over the Internet long ago & AI is only learning from them
Not only the internet throughout history too 😀
@@Shaytan.666 The ancient Egyptians knew it all lol
Fun fact: anime girls aren’t meant to look human. They’re meant to look like cats, hence cuteness.
@@phamdung3884 is that actually true? If so that’s pretty cool
😂
Nothing is better at making you feel good about yourself than an uncanny valley filter
25:56 my favourite thing about this is she's not covering up what filters would aim to do, she loves her wrinkles cause they're natural and beautiful 🤩
AI filter Click is not real, he can’t hurt you.
AI filter Click:
My mind went to this meme format immediately
The older woman who "edited" the picture with a pen is so funny bc thats literally how old-timey photoshop worked.
People would just paint over black and white photos to shrink their waists, etc. We've literally been editing our images for as long as we've had images to edit
even in paintings. There is an example I find interesting, queen mary the second of portugal.
Some portraits in her late years make her look beautifull other make her look terrible.
Was it Bernadette Banner or Abby Cox who did the in-depth video on Victorian photoshop?
@@Duck-wc9deyeah I thought of that when Click talked about the eyes looking too bright. That is oil painting 101
@@Seal0626 I think it actually was Karolina Zebrowska, or at least I do remembet she has a video touching on the topic.

Don't eat while watching Click
That sound at 23:44 made me spit the noodle soup all over my laptop
2:17 That daily mail writer would lose their shit If they saw my skin and the things people say about it especially since it's not acne
This ai-generated filter era is a nightmare for people with autonomophobia (fear of things that look human but aren't). Luckily, most of the pics in the video were too ridiculous for me to even recognize them as human-like, but some of them did make me gag and my skin feel like it wanted to crawl off my body.
Sometimes, I really *really* hate this timeline
Oh man, that sounds AWFUL 😔
Interesting. Does it only affect human lookalikes? Or does it ever showup in let’s say an uncanny CGI animal?
@@bea7823 for me, it's mainly people but full body costumes (like mascots & furries) also trigger it but to a lesser extent. I can look at pictures/videos of people in costumes but can't be in the same room as them. Puppets, wax figures, animatronics, and clowns all trigger it too, to varying degrees. Fake people are the ones I have the most extreme reaction to

Yeah it’s something along the lines of the uncanny valley phenomenon I suppose
If I was an influencer, I'd be super down to work with that restaurant that does the "for every influencer meal, we give one meal of equal value to charity" it sounds like a really good idea!
Hell yeah, that restaurant sounds like the kind of place I'd actually wanna support and if I were in such a position, I'd say why not make that two because I'd be fine paying double for someone else. Too bad though that pretty much only self interested people become successful or influencers because they actually have the drive to be the center of attention that gets them popular, neanwhile I prefer obscurity because I view fame as a living nightmare as an asocial individual ^^'
@@discordiacreates6669 ughh, ikr! Being popular is a nightmare for me as well. Adding to the fact that the people from my country are known to be very toxic on the internet.
Yeah nah, i'd rather be a nobody
@@foxinabox5103 yeah that's understandable, people from my neck of the woods aren't too open minded either so I'd hate to garner anymore attention tbh, already too easy to get attention when people think I'm 5 or 10 years younger then I actually am ^^'
Yeah! I would pay for any restaurant with such a deal.
hell even if i was the most exploitative asshole who did all this for the begging, if i already flew to greece, i would definetly cough up enough cash to pay for that meal and milk that tiny bit of charity to no end. Like i dont get why they dont, either they are actually so hard in this begging lifestyle that they could not afford it and they basically live of handouts or they are so lazy and disintrested that anything that isnt literally free doesnt even reach their mind
So, it wasn't for an instagram shoot. She's a model and she did an IG reel / tiktok video of behind the scenes to show her followers that even as a professional model, on the set of a professional photoshoot for a new product at a big company, that she's still not perfect and nothing we see is real so we shouldn't compare ourselves. It was actually really wholesome.
19:36 pretty sure it was a pillow to start with. Compressible. Also, did you see the moving waving “straight” lines lol
I had a Fotoshooting a few years ago to illustrate women in science. I work as a polar researcher and had just spend 6 months in a tent with my sleddogs on the sea ice collecting samples. The shoot was me, my lead dog and my tent just having a good time and posing a little.
The photographer decided to Photoshop makeup on me! Excuse me what? I don't even wear makeup to conferences or fancy dinners, but sure love, at 80°N and further my top priority would he a full face of makeup including false lashes 🤦🏼♀️
The irony, it was to show that women can be more than just a pretty face 😂
im not sure but im gonna suspect that makeup at that sort of temperatures might be very unpleasent after a while? i mean imagine it just freezes on you or something. To me this sounds a bit like that picture for, i think it was women in stem, that had a woman touching a soldering iron at the very tip, people making these types of comercials just have no idea about what "women in x field" are actually like so they either hire actors to play what they think it should look like or they touch up real professionals like you because their intention is selling this, not accuracy. Advertising is just weird in general.
@@StabbyTheSkaven Very true. Sad, but true. Nah, Makeup by itself wouldn't be to much of the issue in terms of comfort, but given I can't really wash when I'm out in the field for long periods of time, taking it off would be a struggle. Not to mention, my dogs don't care if I look like a runway model or straight out of a horror movie, and neither do the krill under the ice...
Also, it attracts the Abominable Snowman
I am mad at "Fotoshooting".
I will now eat my roommate's pineapples.

As a millennial, I’m SO happy social media was in its infancy when I was growing up
Me too. I think I'd be way more effed up had I grown up with this shite when I was more impressionable.
Gen X, and constantly thankful that my stupidity was not digitally immortalized before my 20s.
Me too.
@@VictoriaEMeredithGen X too and there are so many reasons why I'm happy that I grew up when we did.
Honestly there's good and bad sides to it. Coming from someone at the younger end of millennials I appreciate the ease at staying in touch with people I care about. I also love how much bigger my world became with social media as I got to meet people from around the world in different walks of life. And then there's downsides like this where your literal self-image is warps based off somebody that does not exist.
8:00 the filter thing, in France, has something to do with advertising.
Like u advertise a beaty product, and the proof is the filter u put over ur face...yeah xD
Every time I go on social media I remind myself of a guy I had a Photoshop course with a year ago. Whenever we were starting an assigment based on making people look marketable he would always start it off by saying "Ok, you see that beautiful person? Let's them uglier". It honestly made me feel better about editing it lol
So I think we all can do this: Edit a photo of yourself slightly worse. Not very noticeable. And when you meet someone in person they'll be like: "oh you look way better than in your photos"
Genius! … but I usually look slightly worse in photos, so maybe I wouldn't even need to bother! lol
I look slightly better irl than in my photos anyway 😂 I just make sure not to use filters or heavy makeup. Keep the expectations low and then even something a little better can pleasantly surprise people.
you could write a really good horror story about an influencer who started without any editing but each time they edit something on their photos, the opposite thing happen to them, so they use more and more filters. I think that could be one of the more impactful horror works of this day and age if it got popular.
Very interesting... Sorta like a reverse Dorian Gray...
@@Newfiecat didn't realise that, but yeah
@@Newfiecat I was thinking the exact same thing when I read the comment xD
Love this idea, it'd make a great horror story or movie
I'm hooked. Please write it. Also looking forward to the film adaptation.
23:54 hey man, beauty is pain.
Which is why I prefer the traditional beauty of not being in pain all the gosh darn time.
That last one makes me want to see some art that runs in the opposite direction. I want to see music videos with models wearing the most outrageous fast fashion outfits possible, with the filters dialed up just enough to start looking weird, singing about pushing unhealthy standards to get people to worship them, buy their albums, and buy their clothes and beauty products, because "realistic standards don't sell unnecessary junk and we're here to milk you for every last bloody dime."
As a trans guy, being hairier than all of these guys at 6:04 is my one accomplishment in life. Still can't grow a damn moustache for some reason though.👨🏻
If you do find a foolproof way to grow a moustache, patent the method.
If there were a way to grow just a moustache- a full one, not a shadow of peach fuzz- I think people of all genders would be throwing money at you
Happy pride month 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 wishing you a fabulous moustache!
Good luck, bro.
I'd give you my stash if I could.
I'm glad trans men get hair with hrt, wish us trans girls had cheaper options of removing hair, though. 😅
Facial hair growth pattern is genetic and a fair percentage of men simple never get enough hair in the right spot for that. The various facial hair cuts aren't just fasion. For many men they are what happens if they don't shave at all. I know a fair number of guys with only a soul patch or only mutton chops or only a wispy stash. As such, they all shave because they don't like the hair pattern they have. So don't worry about it. Besides, full beard is linked to baldness so count your blessings 😅
Um are like hair transplants a thing? I have absolutely no idea if they do it for humans, but I know there are procedures for animals who have had surgeries and all.
I saw an "explanation" for the cave carving of the woman. Apparently it could be that the woman stood in front of a light source (i.e. fire) and someone else traced the shadow via carving.
I'm impressed by her endurance if that's the case, it's hard to stand in one position for a really long time, especially in an unstable bent over position like that. Maybe they used limestone or some other pigment to trace the outline and carved it later so she wouldn't have to still quite so long? It'd still probably take a while just to do that, so still an impressive feat on her end...
Because ancient humans could only trace 😂
They did hand turkeys too...
@@darcieclements4880 how'd they fit those animals in those caves?
@@darcieclements4880 no they were definetly capable of other stuff as well but that type of image very much looks like a shadow trace. no one is disputing that they also painted pretty great works of art, i have seen some pretty impressive ones in person but that one could definetly be a traced shadow.
I don't really use any sort of social media or keep up with this sort of thing at all and this was absolutely shocking to see. I had no idea it had gotten this bad.
As a assistant Photographer, lighting is almost EVERYTHING. My mom knows this to try and make herself look younger. Its so sad people can't just feel good in their own skin. And honestly? If I ever posted selfies on social media I'd probably do the same thing.
The thing that got me as a kid is a lot of these filters tend to change your skin color. Many of them either make you look unnaturally pale, or artificially tan. Growing up mixed, I always felt in the middle of "beautiful color", I was either too pale or too brown.
Yeah, same thing with how freckles suddenly became trendy. Now, us, with real freckles, get told our freckles look wrong because we don't have them just in the specific area they deem "pretty" ...
@@arui6143 that's something my mom talked about a lot. When I was younger I didn't have her freckles, and she was glad it's "one less thing to pick on", but as I got older I developed freckles on my face, and people think they're fake 🙄
They will ALWAYS find something to bully you for, no matter how gorgeous you are
I don't know what you look like, but trust me: you are perfect just the way you are!
I'm mixed as well. I definitely have always felt just outside of fitting in with either side of the family - too pale for one side and too dark for the other. My mother's side has a lot of mixed race cousins though so even though I was paler than most of them, they never made it a thing. My dad's side, however, always had something to say about how brown my skin is. I don't really have a good relationship with that side as an adult. They definitely spent too much of my youth telling me how I should act and look to be beautiful. I'm much happier being myself.
@@arui6143 They doing what now? Ugh people are so stupid.
One thing I've come to realize as someone who teaches art is that there is a particular loss of visual understanding among my students that makes it significantly more difficult for them to recognize when their filter and photo edits look particularly bad (lighting, missed details, the absence of the laws of physics, etc.), and I'm not sure whether I should be amused by this or terrified.
damn, that is terrifying. does that mean they spend more time looking at their phone than real life or what? I guess its sorta like how when TV was black and white people dreamt more in black and white. People must pay more attention to details of a photograph than a typical day's visuals.
This is fascinating. And a bit sad.
Terrified, I'd go with terrified.
Time to bust out the Nikolaïdes and do contour drawing. Should help fill in a perception of form.
Not so sure about negative-space drawing exercise for this, though. My first try at drawing not where the object is but where it is _not_ gave me a headache...
@@w.reidripley1968 haha, I teach both of those in my drawing classes! The negative space is difficult to grasp, but I've had a lot of success with it.
My comment is mostly concerning the trend I see with the students coming through my building, and I think a lot of it has to do with how short attention spans have gotten due to the nature of entertainment and technology shifting. They can't slow down and process, and my country's inability to see the importance of art means they also have less formal training to help combat that. My comment wasn't referring to the work they do in my class, though - just the various times students have shown me photos they want to use as references, and the very obvious ways those photos have been filtered.
17:57 It's bad enough the photo was edited without her consent, but honestly? The before pic looks BETTER! It's not even a good edit...
I'm so glad that I grew up when I did. I'm in my 50s and I have my own personal filter. Others see a flabby belly; I see the amazing children I grew. Others see my bum and waist; I see every gorgeous meal I've had with friends or family. Others see the wrinkles by my eyes; I see every joke I've laughed at.
My eyes will never recover from that intro 😂
I felt physical pain from that
@@mfbayern4243 i felt EVERYTHING
I want a different type of filter over my eyes after that
I feel like it will haunt me tonight.
The creepy thing is, these filters have been around for way longer than people think. Ever watched an old movie from the 40's-50's and saw a hair so shiny? A pair of eyes so piercingly blue? Yup, that was added in post production, especially on thee main love interest to make them look more "dreamy", breakfast at tiffany's is a good place to start.
Ragnar Lothbrok's eyes in the first seasons of Vikings lmao
Photo editing even goes back to black and white photos. They used to specificaly stand in front of blank backgrounds so the waists etc. could be edited by drawing on those photos. If you ever see an impossible waistline in old photos it's most likely edited
@@kieransky although I was talking about video filters (since people think they're more recent and advanced) I totally agree with you, and I used to blame myself for not having that shape because they didn't have photoshop back then, a human could look like that lol. Bailey Sarian made a great video about it.
@@maryamshaaban74 old time video editing was basically photo editing on a bigger scale. They would hand edit each ind still and frame. From everything like editing a person to be skinnier to painting on part of the back/foreground.
For magazines, posters and other still images, two words: air brush. As in a literal air brush after which the Photoshop tool is named. Pictures of celebrities and models have been "touched up" to the point of being fraudulent for decades. "The camera never lies" is, in itself, one of the *oldest* lies. I don't think it took long after the invention of photography for people to think "there's got to be some way to make this as dishonestly flattering as the average well-paid portrait painter..."
One thing that a friend pointed out to me while we were getting ready to go out, was that the little 'bump' below my belly button that I thought ruined the way a dress sat on me... Was straight up my womb, and that no matter what I did it would always be there because it's meant to be.
Our bodies are weird and unique, because that's just the way bodies are.
Even if it takes a while to accept it, its okay.
11:58 isnt that the girl who reviewed mascara and lied about it being good by using false eyelashes?
Also, correct me if im wrong, but wasnt she also called out by a waitress for being a bitch irl and then she, after apologizing and then taking the apology down, started saying the waitress was lying?
I don’t know about the waitress part, but the mascara part is correct
you know, in all this time watching The Click and seeing all the ways that he has tried to traumatize us, that intro finally did it for me. You reached your goal, Mister Click, as I'll definitely have nightmares about that.
The lady who said she wouldn't augment her body because she wanted her kids to love theirs hit close to home for me. I don't have kids of my own, but I have 4 nieces and a nephew and I know at least one of my nieces has been teased about her nose. It's the same shape as mine, and I was told as a kid that my nose stuck up too far and looked like a pig nose, so I always hated it until I saw it on her 🥺
I feel the same way as well about plastic surgery, the more people do those thing the more however stander of what is pretty became smaller and it’s sad. Also fit it’s you picture on your youtube chanel, I think that your nose is adorable. All tiny and cute with juste a little lift to make it unique. But you also since already confident about it so maby this will juste feel like a compliment out of not where but take it. Also if you are one of those people that think I saying this out of petty or something. I’m not
i agree that your nose is beautiful! also you have a great singing voice
@@piesayshello5509 aw thank you so much!
@@RUClassicallyTrained thank you!
I haven't always like parts of me, I usually don't let it get to me. But my goodness everything I don't like on myself i find absolutely beautiful on my little girl and its helping me love myself more because I see nothing but perfection when I look at her and I know she has so many of my traits. Its so eye opening to realize that the things you dislike on yourself you'll love on someone you care about
The post at 6:29 is so interesting. Particularly as I can see body shapes here that look similar to my body and the bodies of some of my friends. A different one of us would've been considered the most beautiful each decade. And that surely suggests we are all equally beautiful
37:19 FINALLY, IT IS MY TIME TO SHINE! Anyways, text says:
"Premier today on Frizbi's CZcams channel at 19 o'clock (7pm)"
for anyone wondering
The oli London filter in the intro aside, I love how Click is giving us a media literacy refresher course. 💖
Oh that brunette beauty influencer is hilarious! She DOES show herself without makeup as she reviews products, and is very candid about showing her weight.
There's a blonde lady who's also funny, and tests products on their ability to subtract her "chins" into one. (My only critique is that she's very pink but uses yellow undertone foundation/concealers.)
@@maggpiprime954 who is the brunnete?
@@Styruse Idk her name, I just see her as I doom scroll my insomnia lol
That opening is absolutely horrifying and I love it. I don't really plan on using filters because I honestly don't really have much to hide.
33:28- That scares me. She looks like she was possessed by a demon or something.
The intro with the filter genuinely jumpscared me. Nightmare fuel! 🙈
13:24 Unironically, this guy looks WAY better without the filters. With them, he looks uncanny, evil even. But without them, he’s a normal, approachable man.
that picture where he’s smoldering into the camera and he looks oiled and his eyes are damn near glowing? he’s about to suck out my soul. he is the definition of scaring the maidens
Clicky is gorgeous, but so humble. He always tries to relate to us average people and hype us up. It's so sweet. ❤
My brain had to do a triple take when I saw Click with that filter 💀
Those filters are delusional alternative reality.. creepy.
im not sure if he changed his voice use voice changer or what. but even if its voice changer thats pretty impressive acting honestly 😂
@@jeanneann3545 😂
Mandela catalog is coming true
2:22 Yes, she absolutely is beautiful. What a fucking queen. I thought she was gorgeous. Natural skin is so much better than makeup.
Click never disappoints with his intros.
Disappoints? No. Disturbs? Yes. 😄
@fragglegoth4318 Disappoints AND disturbs.
@@Sherbert-qt5yx Never!
"you're not expected to look like 20 forever" I wish that was true
That would be bad news if we manage to figure out how to stop aging. Sure, you're near immortal, but you just keep aging, and after a while, it's not so fun any more.
Once I played with some apps for modifying the face (I was bored in the toilet😅) It was fun and games until I turned them off and saw my tired face again😢 The horror is, even in this half an hour I forgot how I actually looked! I thought I did not change my face that much. The disgust after seeing my actual face persuaded me to delete this shit and never do it again!
11:30 it also completely changed the shape of her nose, it made it smaller and rounder
The background replacement thing is pretty useful for avoiding accidentally showing sensitive info during work meetings.
Or hiding the fact that you're on the beach instead of doing work in the office. Those commercials were pretty funny during the height of the pandemic.
CLICK PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU NEVER USE THAT FILTER EVER AGAIN 😭🙏
I would pay to see OT with any filter that gives him fake eyes over his sunnies! I can’t even imagine the aesthetic carnage of AI trying to figure that out 😂😂😂
I don't know whether that would be more or less cursed than on cliccy
For the shape wear ad it's actually a filter that makes her look bigger and then it's removed once she puts them on. You can see the background/items being curved.
0:16 - Uncanny Valley?
More like Uncanny Abyss!
Stuck in The Abyss~
Uncanny Valley can be explained by the existence of Neanderthals.
Nothing can explain uncanny abyss
19:30 the tights are so strong they are also compressing the light from the walls and doors around it
19:07 a moment of silence for the bookshelf which had to go through the bulge effect in premiere pro
Thank you, Click, for this video. The amount of media that idolizes these unrealistic beauty standards is so abundant that I start to believe that they are actually real. I can easily doubt anyone who says that they are fake.
It is so comforting to hear someone speak against this with genuine intent.
24:22 Notice how Hugh Jackman is also photoshopped to look more muscular, HE DOESN'T NEED IT DAMMIT
He's pretty grainy looking though, as it looks like the, contrast settings, were turned up to the max
The black nylon things are called shapers. They do compress a little but nowhere near as much as what the adds try to say they do. It's more like a similar effect to what you get when you suck in your stomach. Plus they help to smooth over cellulose and help to hide bra and underwear lines. They are great to wear under skin-tight outfits for these reasons, but no they wont make you look like you lost 20-50lbs (9.072-22.67kg).
Exactly! It's all about illusion. Of course you'll look skinnier when everything is smoothed out and the waist is snatched in 😆
"Event Horizon" shaper tights...
At 1:29 - pic on left - a professional picture of Jennifer Lopez with amazing light. Pic on right - Jennifer Looez in DIRECT SUNLIGHT!!! Photos taken in direct sunlight age everyone!
Always remember that a lot of the earliest photographic portraits were edited too. The Victorians were all about painting smaller waists on their photos. As long as we've had a way of making accurate images of ourselves, our answers to that has been, "But how can I make this less accurate?"
click is kinda cute. he doesn't need a filter, the filter needs him.
He looks way better without the filter from the begining
Click is more than kinda cute lol
Exactly. We need a beauty filter that makes everyone look like Clicky Mcthicky here
@@haliebeeh735He's fine.
The first time I took a selfie with my new phone I thought "What? Is this thing out of focus or something?" Took me a bit to figure out it was auto set with a freaking filter. I was trying to see how my make up turned out but it blurred out my eyeliner. I'm like I know I'm ugly but I worked hard for that wing! Don't take that away from me 🥺.
The point about your kids getting your features and seeing you surgically change them was huge for me! I had so many things I wanted to change, but having a daughter who looks just like me makes me glad I didn’t do anything bc I would never want her to feel like there’s something wrong with her. It’s funny bc somehow I’m hard on myself but i see her as the most perfect human being
19:52 The first picture already looks like a model, tf you edit that???? 😊
I have to say as well the inherent racism in these filters are also just as damaging and sad to see. Its awful that beauty equals lighter skin still... (see vid at 30:02) and honestly its a gateway into seeing how society still pushes for lighter skin as a standard of beauty just the same as age, weight, face shape, etc.
Yes! And it completely changes features and tends to make people look Caucasian. Very weird and awful. 😬
@@Newfiecat Yeah, I'm outraged that that one gal made her client's nose significantly smaller and posted that as advertising without running that by her client first. Not cool, man.
Scott McCloud's books on the art of comics -- I can't recall which one -- contain a set of pics that are various beautiful women, none of whom look alike, making the point that unusual features are not a barrier to beauty and that we should celebrate diversity instead of making the beauty standard be so boring and samey.
I noticed this when I was in Ecuador. All the adverts had lighter skinned models, which is such a shame since the Ecuadorian people are stunning.
Non whites are edited to be lighter, whites are edited to be tanner
Honestly a big reason why I don’t use filters myself. I’m white passing Latina, but I’m proud of being Latina so I avoid things that white me out like the plague lol
00:07
Thank you. That will haunt me for the rest of my life.
therapist: "drag queen click cant hurt you, he's not real"
drag queen click:
5:39 click just be casually saying men are hot
Did you think this was a straight channel bro
@@osheridan no
the fact that with nearly all of these examples I actually found the real human face more attractive than the filtered face. A lot of times I had an almost instinctual dislike for all of the fake photos and could instantly see they were edited.
Maybe I just find actual humanity and human flaws attractive. Being okay with your flaws and being genuine about your looks is a wonderful thing.
100% agree! It sucks how filters take all the personality out of a face and just turns people into weird carbon copy dolls 🙁
@@NewfiecatExactly this. Real faces and bodies have so much more character.
Not long ago I got some updates on Pinterest and it talked about how it will no longer provide filters that will completely sculpt/rearrange your face. They were also going to crack down on some tumblr-ish trends promoting eating disorders and insecurity about one's features. I hope they went through with it because reading through the page actually felt quite nice. It's the kind of thing that gives me hope for social media beauty trends and the way they influence the younger generation
Most of the adds I've seen with filter (like the ones with the nylon pants) were on Pinterest. Tehy keep popping up despite of me blocking them or reporting them
19:02 the bookshelf is curved.
What I do when I feel shit about how I look is this: I look in a mirror, but I imagine it’s a window, not a mirror, and the person in the “window” is a stranger I’ve never seen. I then think about the person’s appearance as I would think of an actual stranger. You don’t see the things you don’t like about yourself, and neither does anyone else. It also helps to remember that no one else sees you as close as you do, nor from the same perspective. I doubt anyone will actually see this, but if it helps even one person, my goal has been complete.
filters can be great for fun, or to make a picture look better, but we HAVE to stop with these insane standards :(
I find it oddly endearing how Click always says "Lightning" when he means "Lighting."
But don't worry. Good lightning makes plenty of difference on a person's Instagram too.
I agree
Oh thank goodness someone else said it. I was trying to find a way to say it without being mean and you nailed it ❤
17:32 I feel so bad for the client to have her face fully photoshopped without consent, I now know why my uncle's wife takes pictures of the clients hairs only and not have there face in full view because there might be some people that would grab the image and to attempt to edit or photoshop their face without permisson nor consent, this would also put her hairstyling business out of commission
5:01 Holy shive, that's a lot of mangos
12:19 this message is absolutely beautiful. I can assure you how you, as a parent, view your body has a massive impact on your children. For instance, my mother was pretty unhappy with her body when I was younger, and I, a gullable child, picked on it as that my body is ugly and that I need to look skinny to be considered beautiful. Kids aren't blind and if they see you not taking care of yourself and trying to alter yourself just for some stupid trend, they will do it too.
Love your body and yourself, your body isn't there to be judged by eyes of others, it's used to carry you and get you to places, it's a temple that deserves care, just as much as your mind does. Love everyone and stay safe
I absolutely agree
my mom has a chubby body type, so I also have one. And at my middle school to high school period, I was always sad abt my chubby body, coz she was too. If I didn't learn abt the different ideal body types in different time period & the facts that we all have belly/thicker thighs my friend (who learned biology) and some internet posts, I would still be like that. (Tho I am still a bit conscious abt my body, but I like that I'm not THAT conscious abt it now. (*￣︶￣) )
We definitely need more body positivity posts, news, facts and stuff in the mainstream media, or we gonna die with unnecessary disappointments of ourselves.☹️
I MIGHT NOT HAVE THE IDEAL BODY TYPE, BUT I AM PERFECT THE WAY I AM.❤ STOP SAYING THERE'S TOO MUCH FAT ON ME, MOM
some of my examples:
in my city, a slim body is still considered as "an ideal body" in the mainstream media.
So you can imagine how great of a fuss the mainstream media made when a female singer star in my city, Joyce Cheng, who followed a strict diet and had a slim body, became more fat/chubby. I found that in Wikipedia, In mid 2014, Joyce posted a Facebook post declaring that she wouldn't force herself to lose weight ever. (I'm not that big of a fan, but this is such a nice message to me)
When my parents saw that Joyce became fat, they made fun of her body multiple times.
The second experience I had was when I was having lunch with my parents and my grandma (to be clear, she's mother of my mother, and she also has a chubby body). My dad found a video about an over-sized girl having her wedding photos taken in a pool. He immediately shared it with us, and they laughed at how fat her body is, like "she's like a roasted pig.", "I wouldn't marry her even if someone gave me money!". It was absolutely disgusting. (Don't get me wrong tho, I loved them but this behavior is too much.)
These stuck in my brain for so long that I wanted to info-dump here to clean my head. Besides, I believe these can be more examples for how the parents mindsets influence the kids'. Children would actually remember them and the remarks parents made, especially when the topics are about appearances (standards of beauty and ugly).
Thank you so much for coming to my TED talk (x)
My mom used to be in the military when she was younger and was obviously in shape, as she got older she complained about gaining weight and she'd diet, I caught up on that and felt self conscious about my weight growing up. When I got to my teenage years she'd start making jabs about my weight and my body in general, like my breasts not being bigger. She'd put her insecurities of her body on me and I refuse to do the same to my step daughter. Anyone says that she's 'getting bigger' (fatter) I just reflect and say 'yup! She's getting so tall now!'
@@JennieOkami good job on cutting off that mindset!🥺 I really hope the next generations could live happily without pressures of not having an ideal body type
Yeah i have an ed and i thought it was just because i was bullied a lot in the past but my therapist said it sounds like i picked up unhealthy eating habits from my mom 😃
