I know this is a long shot.
But hear me out.
Have social platforms altered the perception of ourselves in at least in a small amount? When should the line be drawn when it comes to filtering your appearance? What is said to you when you see people upload pictures which are filter laden? Do you make an assumption about their self esteem when the filtering is consistent?
The most alarming instance of filtering that I've ever seen was the Danity Kane #nofilter promo, which was intended to encourage others to let their true self come through the lens of a camera. But their promotional #nofilter picture was ironically coated in a filter.
They gladly uploaded pictures of their fans who "dared" to face the world filter-free, but refused to do it themselves.
What message does that send?
