Some people (myself included) are also just pretty in person - not on camera. I’ve had friends lovingly tell me I am the least photogenic person ever, but that my beauty shines in person. I think a lot of people are like that, and not enough people appreciate ‘real life’ beauty enough. And that’s a damn shame
Yeah this is a real thing. There are certain features that look good on camera and videos. This is why gorgeous celebrities get plastic surgery and people wonder why because they are already so goodlooking. Their livelihood depends on their appearance through camera lenses , that’s why they undergo procedures to obtain more photogenic features. They do what they have to do to secure the bag, but I hope us normal people can realize that not being photogenic doesn’t mean we aren’t pretty. Im also someone who gets told that I look a lot better in person
This!! I met my boyfriend’s friends and they were like “omg you’re so pretty! So much prettier than my photos!” And now I never want another photo to be taken of myself again lmao
This society has unrealistic beauty standards that’s the problem they’re trying to imitate Lucifer’s beauty which is the perfect beauty which obviously will be the perfect beauty because there’s no such thing.
@@elif_g24 this society wants a perfect beauty which is bull there no such thing as a perfect beauty. We are just different that’s the beauty of it. Not this shallow crap.
@@v.xien. STOPP UR SO REAL FOR THATT- I think I'm funny but when I got a new haircut and started doing makeup and taking care of myself more I did notice that I get treated a bit better, for example when I was in the store someone helped me, A STRANGER, which never happened before😭 Istg, I hate this harsh reality, the "it's gonna get better" or "Personality is what matters" Like pls stfu personality ain't what actually matters in 2024😭😭
Why do these "tiktok pretty" and "insta pretty" women all look the same like they are copy pasted version of eachother? It freaks me out its like we live in a simulation lmao
at first for me i struggled because i wasnt completely “tiktok pretty” but i realized i had other good features and tiktok doesnt get to dictate my worth. dont let it dictate yours either!!
I lit rarely see them in person, and I realize it's because fliters don't exist irl (yet), but strangely I noticed some male IG are also less lean/muscular in person too, made me realized they post during pump and light flexing
Tik tok pretty is just literally lip fillers, brow lifts, cheek fillers, make up and then a filter on top of that, and great lighting. Take all that off…and they’re normal looking people. I think I’ll just content myself with my own standard of beauty… healthy skin that doesn’t need make up and no filters so I can see my features for what they are.
@@reagan4467I use social media, but I just don’t use certain ones. I don’t use TikTok, I don’t use twitter or facebook, I use Instagram but my entire feed is of just art, fashion designers, and cute animals, and I use RUclips to just watch my favorite gamers. You can use social media, but try and stay away from all this toxicity.
It's so funny because I work with almost all women. We all look very different from eachother - different ages, races, nationalities, heights, weights, eye color, nose sizes, etc (you get the picture). We're all very attractive and no there's absolutely nothing wrong with knowing you are. Are we supermodels? Well, no, but who the hell cares? We're all different. We're all also smart and kind and that makes us all that much more interesting in general. We embrace our glorious genetics and sashay that shit for all we're worth. Know your value and stop comparing yourself to others. There's always going to be someone more beautiful or thinner or taller or with better hair or WHATEVER! Confidence is hot andvery attractiveto others - friends, lovers, partners, everyone. Flaunt what your mama gave ya and be proud!
Even “supermodels” get tired of all the glam, neat clothing and neat makeups that are covering their true selves too. These “models&influencers” at the end of the day, would always rather be on their pjs and less things to put on and lay in bed but they have to do it for income and some just keep longing for validations and fame.. Tiktok pretty whatever kind of new nonsense there are now shouldn’t even have to exist.. all women are beautiful in their own unique ways but what is more important are the things unseen-is your heart as beautiful as what you want your face to be?
I left tiktok a looong time ago because I found absolutely ZERO value in it. Not only does short form content by nature offer little opportunity to create value, but the culture of tiktok in all niches that I experienced, were vapid at best, and toxic at worse. The filtered version of beauty that exceeds reality for even the billion view creators - is a depressing situation that even for the successful few, will lead to nothing but anxiety and self depreciation because the truth is we all AGE and even those young girls seeing success now are going to be in the fight of their lives to stay relevant as they age.
to me tiktok pretty means they are forever only pretty in behind camera with specific lighting and filters. theyi don't dare to to be social irl . People always say oh that's you? I don't know it's embarrassing when people think a tiktok pretty girl looks better on tiktok not irl.
Then they get mad when people take candid pictures and barely recognize them. The dishonesty is more embarrassing...who wants to keep up a lie? Too much effort.
I can’t lie I want tik tok to get banned and I know a lot of people will come after me for that but tik tok is the literal reason why society’s depression and anxiety rate is higher TikTok is making society horrible for the environment and people don’t even notice it’s so sad.
What's really sad is that people are worried because tiktok creates unrealistic beauty standards but no one bats an eye when it's been said that the app is spying on it's users, harvesting data and endangers national security (in the US).
i think that most people would agree with you on that because ppl waste nearly 2 days if the week bc they’re always on their phones scrolling on tiktok
I primarily inherited my dad's looks. My mom was always so beautiful and I remember wishing I looked more like her until I got a little older. I eventually realized how lucky I really am because we have some incredibly beautiful women on my paternal side and I look like them! My cousin remains one of the most gorgeous women I've ever seen in person. My dad's oldest sister is actually in her 80s (he has 5 sisters and is the only boy and the youngest!) She looks like a gorgeous 60 year old. Seriously, people are flabbergasted when they find out her age. I'm happy with what I have now and it's very freeing. Confidence is attractive and truly you don't have to be a model for that to be effective
There are so few people who relate to the pain of having a model-beautiful mom and not looking like her. I hate that I want surgery to look like my own mother.
Its literally fillers, filters, botox, and snapchat filters and the AUTOMATIC FUCKING BEAUTY FILTER!!! They literally do it without you knowing it! Its the same as relying on Snapchat filters that distort your natural GOD GIVEN BEAUTIFUL features.
This is actually quite scary i didn't know that the filters were this extreme now. I saw another video on RUclips that got thousands of views made by a male that said women that called out this stuff were “just jealous ” and he used that video with almost 1 billion views as the example saying that other girls and women were jealous of her because they were saying “she's just sitting in front of the camera doing nothing. ” i gave that video a thumbs down.
Meanwhile I was introduced to that lady when a thumbnail of a dude calling it out came out on my feed. Males in the comments were calling it out that doing nothing = views. 🤷🏻♀️ That said, many people are still duped by AI and filters just like you were. With some people, even if you tell them it's not real and/or procedures, they'll dismiss you. I've seen females comment that so and so is jealous when they call out filters or procedures. After all, if they admit it's fake, that would mean they were fools to believe it and many can't and won't accept that. Lastly, the largest demographic on TikTok is young people.... including kids. I have relatives that are elementary teachers and little kids are on there. It's insane. Also, the tik tok demographic is largely female. I remember when I was a substitute teacher for a bit (I quit,) I learned that girls were interested in watching these pretty do nothing girls while the boys were more into games or videos about gaming. People, women in particular, like to call out males for this and the standards of beauty, however I think it's time to see things as they are....and it's females doing this to themselves. I remember hearing recently that Kylie Jenner is mad about the beauty standards [that she and her sisters promoted] lol it's ridiculous Now I've seen that young males are getting interested in their looks way too much and watching "mewing" videos and all that junk saying that they should start caring in the way women do. It's madness!!
No, they don't. Look at the 3 girls at 1:58 they look different the thing they have in common is that they're pretty. Yes, they have full lips but that literally doesn't mean they look like each other, I'd agree if you were talking about the Kardashians. Go to a therapist or smth and stop projecting
@@VidaMaePiquero lol. I’m sorry I can’t take anything you said at all seriously. I’m clearly not looking as closely as you. I’m not getting upset over something so inconsequential. It was actually a joke not an insult. I think you’re the one who might be in need of therapy. 😂😂😂😂😂
@@Jusstaaahumman If you need to insult them to make a joke then you do need therapy. How is "alien" not an insult? You said they all look the same and now you're saying you weren't looking closely. Those girls don't look alike at all
@@VidaMaePiquero you very conveniently missed the word “beautiful”. No one ever said they aren’t attractive. That’s something you landed on all on your own. At surface level they all look alike to me. It’s subjective, everyone sees something different. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You can agree to disagree without feeling personally offended. Your reaction says a lot. It’s weird you’re so invested in ppl you’ll never even know on a personal level. Im done with this conversation, you’re entitled to your own opinion and so am I.
@@Jusstaaahumman So the girls at 1:58 all look the same? They don't, not even on surface level. Also, I'm not invested on any of them, I don't even know half on the women in the vid. It just sounds like you're coping and trying to make yourself feel better by claiming they all "look the same." You said "Am I crazy or do they all look the same?" Well, you are since some of def most definitely aren't. How does Sabrina Carpenter look similar/alike to the girl in the clips beside her? Just doesn't make any sense for me
I downloaded Instagram as a naive teen and my confidence and self-esteem crumbled, those days I could look at myself in the mirror without crying, why was my nose so big? Why don't I have clear skin? Why are your lips a bit thin? Why are my eyes like this? Everything. These questions destroyed my confidence and now im trying to heal. I dont wanna change my face but I just wanna be healthy. I'm at a healthy weight and eat healthy live a pretty good life thankfully, and even if I may not be considered pretty by beauty standards I'm starting to believe that it's alright, that being healthy is attractive, and it's better to attract people for those who you are not what you look like. Anyone reading this, remember STAY STRONG, YOU ARE LOVED AND MATTER. ❤ DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS, COMPARISON IS THE THIEF OF JOY, improve yourself and stay safe 🎀
Exactly! The people that consume contents like that low-key don’t know that it’s ruining their mental health. Seeing people that are way more attractive than you are, physically fit and more successful too. It definitely puts pressure on a lot of people, especially teens. The “I got first my house at age 18”, “I got all A’s in school”, “I became a millionaire at 21”, “I got 6 cars before my 20th birthday”. All these now add up to why so many people have anxiety and are depressed. They’re constantly comparing themselves to what they see online. I quickly realised I was getting sucked into that kind of life, and I had to go off social media (except RUclips of course). I’ve been off social media for a year now, and I’ve never been happier.
Yeah the same ones bragging about how ✨exceptional✨they are especially at a very young age, are the same ones that eventually post less and less content after 2-3 years, stop posting completely for like 6m to 1 yr, and then come back with a "where I've been" video talking about the burnout that they brought on themselves, blame social media/ the algorithm for trying to maintain their channel engagement, and then talk about how ✨freeing✨ living life and getting off the internet is. Then they either change their content completely, make a brand new channel, post once every blue moon, or just never come back on sm.
3:26 ( please don’t attack me. This is my personal opinion), but she is so right. No hate but we have girls like the kalogeras sisters, Leah Hilton, esil and others I can’t think of, got famous because of their looks. like for example Leah Hilton got 873 million views and 52.4 million likes for just lip syncing to a song like what Leilani said " shes just standing there" and for the kalogeras sisters how they got famous because i remember a video of them popping on my fyp of someone saying how pretty they were and started getting famous🤷🏾♀️ and for esil she got famous because girls boyfriends kept comparing her to their girls so she got famous because shes pretty. Like what Leilani said, tiktok is just all about being pretty now. I'm just saying my opinion, tho no hate towards them
Honestly I don’t care anymore. Like I can’t dedicate any more energy to beauty standards anymore. It’s all about my life goals. I don’t even have tiktok, my instagram is dedicated to nature/ecology and im planning to get my bachelors in Australia (im currently getting a diploma in conservation biology), im getting ripped so im less likely to injure myself out in the field when I do ecological assessments. I don’t need to be pretty to do that (thank god)
Around a year ago a girl who goes to my school got "tiktok-famous" to the point if I linked her account here some people would definitely recognize her. Her TikTok page is mostly her posting all her vacations, parties, grwm, and ofc those lip syncing stuff. Her makeup is always fully done, her hair is perfect, and she looks so stunning. I actually met her in real life and we became friends but I didn't realize it was her when I first met her - she doesn't wear makeup and she told me how she uses filters and puts a lot of effort. She does this because brands get girls who are pretty to model for them and basically pretty girls get more sponsorships. But in real life she puts no effort in her appearance. in real life she's actually not "society pretty" and she's actually such a normal person, but online she actual looks so unreal. anyways the point is that these tiktok pretty girls are at their best with a lot of effort with their appearance and with a hell lot of filters. they aren't like that in real life. so you really can't compare yourself.
@HealthWealth-sy2jq na OP has a good point but I've seen a handful of ppl who are genuinely that pretty irl too. live in a really crowded city, so ig it's not uncommon to spot them occasionally here
This!!! I didn't even recognize a girl from her profile picture (we met online) and when we meet in real life was a completely different person, her face was 100% different even her skin color, now I don't even trust the photos.
So glad I'm too old for these stuffs. I follow your channel to stay tune to what's happening in the internet and understand my younger cousins. (Btw thank you for that !!m But damn...this is hellish.
I love your content! Thank you for making a video about this and pointing out how insane it is. I've noticed that the women that rise to fame on tiktok are not only exceptionally pretty, but they also fit into a very narrow range of certain facial features. It's very rare to see a tiktok famous woman without big, plump lips, a small nose, big eyes, high cheekbones, a narrow face, and a defined jawline. It leads to most female tiktok celebrities looking so similar, almost to the point of confusing one for another. And other creators, even if they are privileged in their looks-- if they don't have the big lips, high cheekbones, "sculpted" look to their face and body, they will not get as far. I think most people would agree that exceptional beauty can look different and does not always look like IG models. Don't get me wrong, they are very beautiful, but it's sad that a certain "type" of beauty that's unattainable for most of the population is the only way a woman can get far using her looks. There isn't much uniqueness anymore in a lot of online spaces and in the IG modeling space. I wish more people would notice and celebrate different types of beauty, whether that look like different facial features, a different race, or a different body structure.
You do know that a lot of pretty girls in social media also look as gorgeous in real life, right? Yes, there are some that only look gorgeous with the filters and photoshop on but that doesn't mean that all of them do. I'm just sayin' you shouldn't generalize🤷
the timing of this video is insaneee - I've been feeling messed up from looking at a tiktok page of my schoolmate's girlfriend who's tiktok famous and insanely pretty, and this made me feel sm better! it's crazy how just seeing a compilation of people looking their "best" without seeing their normal selves can mess up a person if they consume too much. I love your videos because they're so real and they keep me real haha keep it up!!!
honestly one of the worst things to ever happen to social media was the “tiktok pretty, bunny pretty, fox pretty…” etc. we lose more of our identities and the traits that make us special every day to try and fit into a mold. it’s sad because as humans we are so diverse and there is beauty in everything about us
I remember one person that said that french women (where I come from) were more androgynous, and it always stuck to me. Gaelle garcia diaz is such a beautiful woman, she looks so mature but not tiktok pretty. And that's what I always saw in french women, a "strong" jaw but not an American standard of beauty. There's some women I see that are beautiful, but they don't have the "tiktok" features. I guess we're more on the "90s" face standard?
It's possible that the filters are optimized for caucasian features. When facial recognition first came out on the iPhone it didn't work well on Chinese faces. If this is true, developers might be working on filters that work differently depending on your ethnic background. There could be some more representation later on.
I really enjoyed your commentary video. I will definitely subscribe to you! What I also would like to mention is that most of the white girls getting famous are girls who have black/brown girls features like full lips, big eyes etc. (which does not mean that white girls cannot have that feautures!) are being considered as very much pretty and tiktok fitting while black girls with similar features do not get the same recognition. Both are beatiful but its always the white girl being celebrated for that features and never the brown/black poc girl.
one of the worst parts (in my opinion) is how these people using filters and altering their appearance are telling us that we're beautiful just the way we are, but society doesn't give a shit about you unless your pretty, rich, or dead,.
Subscribed!!! Great video. I have a degree in Media Studies and wrote my thesis about how algorithms influence society. I graduated in 2020 and thought it was already bad back then but we've taken it even further now.
Naah cuz my mom technically has all those features that are popular now.. big plump lips , big eyes (trust me they are huge 😭) tiny nose and an some what oval face.. And guess what she is insecure about her looks he particularly hates her lips becuz obviously back then small lips were in trend.. AND I ALWAYS WISHED (STILL DO) TO LOOK LIKE HER.. but its so tragic how such a beauty is insecure too (bte my friends have constantly reminded her she is gorgeous )
Ive seen a Leah yt video & she openly speaks about her getting lip filler done. Idk abt a nose job but point is a lot of these girls get these surgeries & that is what we compare ourselves to. social media is fake & we should not subject ourselves to these standards or copy & paste features. we are all beautiful & different in our own ways so love yourselves & put your phone down & go out & appreciate beauty in real life & not behind a screen ❤
Idk why, but for some reason, I start to think that the people in real life that look more ‘normal’ are more beautiful to me now. I think it’s because of all the TikTok girls that look the same. It makes me want to look for something unique again, something that grabs my attention again. I’m starting to appreciate natures beauty more. I think that soon, other people will start to see their individual beauty more.
I have seen so many pretty girls on tiktok which made me feel insecure about myself and think that i needed to change myself to be pretty like them, i also hated my skin colour because most of those girls were usually white but comparison is the destroyer of fun. I've learned that there is nothing wrong with me and everyone is beautiful just the way they are.
i'm so happy for growing up with tumblr girls and hipsters 🙂. Just ugly filters, nutella, weird stickers and mostly emo-colored-hair with some cringey moustache🤣🤣 Some people don't talk enough of how the youngests are losing individualism for not being able to experience cringey phases, and truly wonder what they like. With the sephora kids you relaized they are just trying to be perfect. weird behaviour, not their fault tho.
I agree! I feel like it was more fun back then and now it’s like you really have to try looking a certain way, seems like a boring way to live your life
I feel like everyone who uses TikTok needs to see this video bec this is just so true. Sometimes my friends send me funny TikTok vids and I watch them, because I don’t use TikTok rly, just Yt shorts and when I finish the video suggested vids will pop up and almost all of them are just girls lip syncing and looking pretty. Like I know there are so many good sides of social media, but this part really makes it harmful to young women and ppl who feel the need to look a certain way.
TikTok just seems like a wild social studies experiment that was created to see what a company could get the younger generation to buy into. If they can get you to follow a beauty trend, what else can the influence you to do?
This is so wild Jesus, glad I don’t use TikTok that much anymore. I hate the fact that “if you’re not pretty, you don’t deserve attention” kind of attitude both from social media and society, it’s so f**** up :/
I only have RUclips, no other social media platforms and remember my friend showing me insta,TikTok, FB, etc. and I thought to myself “… why does everyone look SO perfect but I don’t see this in real life?” Little did I know about filters and photoshop because I’ve stayed of social media for about 10 years now and I was blown away. It did impact me, can’t imagine for the people who are on there scrolling everyday. I guess not living online and then getting a glimpse of it was confusing bc it was like 2 different worlds… honestly kind of scary. But that may just be me living under a rock lol. ( I was with a group of friends who said “post it for the gram” and I naively asked “what does your grandma have to do with this?”) I will say the positive thing is that I guess no one looks like that in real life only online?
Hey girl, OMG another video posted from you! But yes, I agree with everything that you are talking about in this video because I never knew exactly what TikTok pretty was or Fox pretty or bunny pretty or dear pretty or animal pretty like they’re just a whole bunch of pretties that I never even knew existed, and we all keep making these terminologies and these analogies the word pretty just have been used in such a weird term to the point where it kind of also feels like a little fetish… like if you’re not these ideal pretties your call 90s pretty or 70s pretty like a lot of light pretties from back then it’s really weird because I really just feel like it’s just fashion sense and just generation of people changing but we keep normalizing things that don’t make sense.
All women are pretty. Let’s stop making these ultra specific labels to convince women that they are not enough. Women are pretty, that’s it. Not bunny pretty, not fox pretty, just fucking pretty. Leave us the f alone
I am most definitely not TikTok pretty. My non-photogenic face and awkward aura won’t allow it, but I have been told I am very pretty and I get free shit from guys or just people in general all the time (I always decline the free handout, but a lot of the times they just give it to me anyways).
Same. I prefer it that way. Being pretty irl has more value. Ppl are almost shocked and you kind of get to Guage ppls real intentions and personality based on how they treated you online vs irl.
It’s difficult because people online look completely different in person. But we obviously don’t see that. We actually expect people to look flawless and airbrushed in real life. It’s cancerous.
In Leah's case, yeah she went super viral recently, but she also didn't just pop out of nowhere. I've been following her on youtube for about two years, and she has a storytime on how she started getting more followers after and ig account of baddies or something like that posted her picture a few years back. I'm not saying that it's not pretty privilege (it sure is, cause most of her content is about makeup and hauls), but she was already pretty popular on other social media platforms. Tiktok only skyrocketed that
I guess I'm just too dumb to get influenced by ridiculous beauty standards 😂 like my brain literally can't fathom a human being looking like that so to me seeing those influencers is like seeing a cartoon character. Are Disney princesses pretty? Yes. Have I ever wanted to look like them (as in their faces, not the costumes).....no, not really. But that's just anecdotal and I'm sure people who have been picked on because of their appearance get impacted heavily by this stuff, knowing that having the "right face" could have saved them so much pain :/
It must feel so amazing to get so much attention on social media just based off of your looks alone. I always find myself comparing myself to those girls and thats why I had to delete Tiktok..whats the point in keeping an app that makes me feel like shit and question my worth as a human being 😅
I think the original tiktokkers meant this the other way around...being pretty in real life is hard...being pretty on a camera you set up is easy...anybody can do it...not everybody can be pretty just walking by...that's rare, and not viral on tiktok...
Love your commentary! You were on point! This needs to be talked about more! We have the younger generation growing up with social media and that is unfortunately going to harm their confidence 😢
I just know I don't stand a chance against these girls on TikTok. But I am so pretty in person 😂❤ Also, I really don't want to sound mean or whatever but these girls are not always the prettiest in real life.
also like she said, most of these tiktok pretty girls pages are them standing there or lip syncing, which doesn’t show us anything about their personality. they could be super boring people who are obsessed with their looks at all times. remember that even the girls who go viral are insecure, there’s more to life than looks. whoever is reading this i love you so much, and know that beauty comes from within. Jesus loves you❤️
I knew who Leah Halton was before that video blew up she’s actually a makeup RUclipsr & was becoming successful before it happened she had just reached 1 million followers or did this year. So that’s where some of it comes from.❤️
I'm Gen z and seeing this makes me feel like out of touch with my generation. luckily my friends don't care I don't have tiktok, but I feel like I am so lucky bc I'm in college right now and if tiktok would've been big when I was in highschool (my highschool was in the most rural of rural areas so tiktok arrived there like years later than anywhere else in the world regarding popularity, tiktok was just secondary Instagram there) I'm afraid I would've been sucked into that dystopia. feel like I really dodged a bullet there
heyy love your videos, u remind me that social media aint all real, anyway you are genuinely pretty too! i hope all us girls can love ourselves more.. but the internet doesnt help
1:52 the girl in the middle is Alica Schmidt. She is a German athlete and goes to the Olympics this summer 😅 she doesn’t get the views only because of her looks but also because she is an athlete. 🙈
Back in my day there were such things such as; tumblr pretty, thinspo, thigh gap. "Clean eating", "model work out. There wer so many models who owned a youtube channel
It's not just the "uglies" that have pores, every single person on this earth has pores. So your fav tiktoker who claims to never use filters but always has smooth skin is unfortunately lying. Even makeup can't hide your pores, your skin will always have texture no matter how much foundation you put on.
Go outside, a lot of procedures look bad irl with natural lighting. Deprogram ur self on the beauty standards. When u see a group of influencers u rlly notice how odd their faces are. Uncanny. A lion doesn’t compare it’s beauty to a cheetah. Enhance ur own beauty, don’t try to fit someone else’s mold.
8:20 I don't think that's the reason, tbh when I started the video I was like "shes so pretty, her face is so symmetrical and she has good harmony". I feel like the only way to become tiktok pretty is by dressing the same way, and doing make up like those girls, having long silky smooth hair and overall to not look basic. For example, Tyla is black and very gorgeous, she can easily take the spotlight if she were next to a white tiktok pretty girl
I am blessed because I do not have time for tiktok, or other social media. And I do not have a need. I have a real life. With real people. Honestly, if I do not get sick and have to stay at home for months, I do not watch youtube neither... Why we care about other people's life? We have our own. Honestly, if I do not get sick and have to stay at home for months, I do not watch youtube neither... Everybody should have live a real life-than tiktok would not be important anymore
I have a hard time taking many of these tiktok models seriously, because they all at some level look like AI or a video game character. For example, Sarah Crumbleleg. She looks significantly different and more normal in a youtube interview compared to on tiktok (still cute tho). ruclips.net/video/4AAE7mUx_84/видео.html
Fun fact abot tiktoks algorithm as I was researching this topic: its written as a command in the code to only push to your reel vids of what the algorithm recognises as attractive...they scan your features AND EVEN BACKGROUND...thats why you are exposed to JUST THAT. Thats literally the companies motive..to make you subconsciouly want and need to consume only this content...
I can’t believe it’s not more well known just *how much* these filters can change the way someone looks. They even have filters of different celebs, so a girl can be making a video and use a “Angelina Jolie” filter and all the sudden her entire face shape, brows, nose, etc will become distorted to look more like Jolie . They can be used for pictures and video, so you’ll never know what’s real until you see them irl or a candid shot. It’s all so fake and young girls are looking up to this and thinking they have to measure up. At this point most of what we’re seeing is just AI w a woman behind the mask. It’s smoke and mirrors guys …
Im an aesthetician by trade, and seeing so much of the nonsense in the beauty space is so disheartening that I left it. It went from taking care of yourself and feeling good to inflating your ego more than a hot air balloon. It's clownery plain and simple now. You can't pay your bills but can prioritize eyelash extensions only to find yourself with that 1 last lash hanging on for dear life trying to keep the illusion alive because now you cant keep up with the maintenance? The pressure put on women to literally be this object is gross yet people keep perpetuating it. It feels like we're in a circus, and if you've been fortunate enough to not subscribe to the regressive behaviors that are running rampant, you really see the show for what it is. I mean, you have the same people using filters stating catfishing is so wrong.....really? Whatchu doing in that app just now???? With all the advancements we have collectively, you'd think we would fare better, but it seems like we're moving closer and closer to idiocracy. Terrifying. Societal acne is what we've got, folks, and just like acne, it's often going to get worse before it gets better. Seeing channels like yours leaves me with hope in the human race. Thank you for your conten, and I am looking forward to your next video! 😁
Some people (myself included) are also just pretty in person - not on camera. I’ve had friends lovingly tell me I am the least photogenic person ever, but that my beauty shines in person. I think a lot of people are like that, and not enough people appreciate ‘real life’ beauty enough. And that’s a damn shame
@@msushi98 🥰🪷
Yeah this is a real thing. There are certain features that look good on camera and videos. This is why gorgeous celebrities get plastic surgery and people wonder why because they are already so goodlooking. Their livelihood depends on their appearance through camera lenses , that’s why they undergo procedures to obtain more photogenic features. They do what they have to do to secure the bag, but I hope us normal people can realize that not being photogenic doesn’t mean we aren’t pretty. Im also someone who gets told that I look a lot better in person
So true omg
This!! I met my boyfriend’s friends and they were like “omg you’re so pretty! So much prettier than my photos!” And now I never want another photo to be taken of myself again lmao
Me my face looks fat and chubby in pics
tikok pretty, normal pretty, bunny pretty, fox pretty, deer pretty. ma'am, i am not pretty.
This society has unrealistic beauty standards that’s the problem they’re trying to imitate Lucifer’s beauty which is the perfect beauty which obviously will be the perfect beauty because there’s no such thing.
you're definitely personality pretty
@@pravitrprabhiwhich does nothing for us bro
@@elif_g24 this society wants a perfect beauty which is bull there no such thing as a perfect beauty. We are just different that’s the beauty of it. Not this shallow crap.
@@v.xien. STOPP UR SO REAL FOR THATT-
I think I'm funny but when I got a new haircut and started doing makeup and taking care of myself more I did notice that I get treated a bit better, for example when I was in the store someone helped me, A STRANGER, which never happened before😭
Istg, I hate this harsh reality, the "it's gonna get better" or "Personality is what matters" Like pls stfu personality ain't what actually matters in 2024😭😭
Why do these "tiktok pretty" and "insta pretty" women all look the same like they are copy pasted version of eachother? It freaks me out its like we live in a simulation lmao
faxx
Exactly, I don’t even personally find them pretty, just perfect.
they look like trans women
Because they ARE the same. Same filters anyway.
Kylie Jenner impact. I often think its that, look at the lips and jaw shape...
at first for me i struggled because i wasnt completely “tiktok pretty” but i realized i had other good features and tiktok doesnt get to dictate my worth. dont let it dictate yours either!!
periodtttttttt
im a coke addict too not the drug kind tho
Tik Tok or Instagram "pretty" is just filters and Photoshop.
Bingo
Filters on the body too
Exactly! It doesn't exist!
And surgery
I lit rarely see them in person, and I realize it's because fliters don't exist irl (yet), but strangely I noticed some male IG are also less lean/muscular in person too, made me realized they post during pump and light flexing
Tik tok pretty is just literally lip fillers, brow lifts, cheek fillers, make up and then a filter on top of that, and great lighting. Take all that off…and they’re normal looking people. I think I’ll just content myself with my own standard of beauty… healthy skin that doesn’t need make up and no filters so I can see my features for what they are.
I feel like over time with social media I’ve gotten more insecure there’s just all these high standards can’t catch a break
Delete the social media apps, it's the most freeing feeling.
@@reagan4467I use social media, but I just don’t use certain ones. I don’t use TikTok, I don’t use twitter or facebook, I use Instagram but my entire feed is of just art, fashion designers, and cute animals, and I use RUclips to just watch my favorite gamers. You can use social media, but try and stay away from all this toxicity.
@@reagan4467for real, i deleted mines 3 days ago and i feel so much better already 😁
It's so funny because I work with almost all women. We all look very different from eachother - different ages, races, nationalities, heights, weights, eye color, nose sizes, etc (you get the picture). We're all very attractive and no there's absolutely nothing wrong with knowing you are. Are we supermodels? Well, no, but who the hell cares? We're all different. We're all also smart and kind and that makes us all that much more interesting in general. We embrace our glorious genetics and sashay that shit for all we're worth. Know your value and stop comparing yourself to others. There's always going to be someone more beautiful or thinner or taller or with better hair or WHATEVER! Confidence is hot andvery attractiveto others - friends, lovers, partners, everyone. Flaunt what your mama gave ya and be proud!
Even “supermodels” get tired of all the glam, neat clothing and neat makeups that are covering their true selves too.
These “models&influencers” at the end of the day, would always rather be on their pjs and less things to put on and lay in bed but they have to do it for income and some just keep longing for validations and fame..
Tiktok pretty whatever kind of new nonsense there are now shouldn’t even have to exist.. all women are beautiful in their own unique ways but what is more important are the things unseen-is your heart as beautiful as what you want your face to be?
@@la4828 i just saw your comment and i instantly put it into my common book because of how beautiful the last sentence is
I left tiktok a looong time ago because I found absolutely ZERO value in it. Not only does short form content by nature offer little opportunity to create value, but the culture of tiktok in all niches that I experienced, were vapid at best, and toxic at worse. The filtered version of beauty that exceeds reality for even the billion view creators - is a depressing situation that even for the successful few, will lead to nothing but anxiety and self depreciation because the truth is we all AGE and even those young girls seeing success now are going to be in the fight of their lives to stay relevant as they age.
to me tiktok pretty means they are forever only pretty in behind camera with specific lighting and filters. theyi don't dare to to be social irl . People always say oh that's you? I don't know it's embarrassing when people think a tiktok pretty girl looks better on tiktok not irl.
Then they get mad when people take candid pictures and barely recognize them. The dishonesty is more embarrassing...who wants to keep up a lie? Too much effort.
@@SpaQueenRocks oh they get mad? That's funny
I can’t lie I want tik tok to get banned and I know a lot of people will come after me for that but tik tok is the literal reason why society’s depression and anxiety rate is higher TikTok is making society horrible for the environment and people don’t even notice it’s so sad.
What's really sad is that people are worried because tiktok creates unrealistic beauty standards but no one bats an eye when it's been said that the app is spying on it's users, harvesting data and endangers national security (in the US).
i think that most people would agree with you on that because ppl waste nearly 2 days if the week bc they’re always on their phones scrolling on tiktok
tik tok is actually banned in India
@@ello6591 I know but it needs to be banned everyyywhere especially America
Right, they keep saying it's gonna get banned but it doesn't, it better get banned soon 😤
I primarily inherited my dad's looks. My mom was always so beautiful and I remember wishing I looked more like her until I got a little older. I eventually realized how lucky I really am because we have some incredibly beautiful women on my paternal side and I look like them! My cousin remains one of the most gorgeous women I've ever seen in person. My dad's oldest sister is actually in her 80s (he has 5 sisters and is the only boy and the youngest!) She looks like a gorgeous 60 year old. Seriously, people are flabbergasted when they find out her age. I'm happy with what I have now and it's very freeing. Confidence is attractive and truly you don't have to be a model for that to be effective
There are so few people who relate to the pain of having a model-beautiful mom and not looking like her. I hate that I want surgery to look like my own mother.
Its literally fillers, filters, botox, and snapchat filters and the AUTOMATIC FUCKING BEAUTY FILTER!!! They literally do it without you knowing it! Its the same as relying on Snapchat filters that distort your natural GOD GIVEN BEAUTIFUL features.
This is actually quite scary i didn't know that the filters were this extreme now. I saw another video on RUclips that got thousands of views made by a male that said women that called out this stuff were “just jealous ” and he used that video with almost 1 billion views as the example saying that other girls and women were jealous of her because they were saying “she's just sitting in front of the camera doing nothing. ” i gave that video a thumbs down.
Meanwhile I was introduced to that lady when a thumbnail of a dude calling it out came out on my feed. Males in the comments were calling it out that doing nothing = views. 🤷🏻♀️
That said, many people are still duped by AI and filters just like you were. With some people, even if you tell them it's not real and/or procedures, they'll dismiss you. I've seen females comment that so and so is jealous when they call out filters or procedures. After all, if they admit it's fake, that would mean they were fools to believe it and many can't and won't accept that.
Lastly, the largest demographic on TikTok is young people.... including kids. I have relatives that are elementary teachers and little kids are on there. It's insane.
Also, the tik tok demographic is largely female. I remember when I was a substitute teacher for a bit (I quit,) I learned that girls were interested in watching these pretty do nothing girls while the boys were more into games or videos about gaming.
People, women in particular, like to call out males for this and the standards of beauty, however I think it's time to see things as they are....and it's females doing this to themselves.
I remember hearing recently that Kylie Jenner is mad about the beauty standards [that she and her sisters promoted] lol it's ridiculous
Now I've seen that young males are getting interested in their looks way too much and watching "mewing" videos and all that junk saying that they should start caring in the way women do. It's madness!!
No girl just simply KNOW that YOU ARE saving a lotta innocent girls' lives, including mine! Sending you blessings from my heart! ❤
Am I crazy or do they all look the same?!?!!! Beautiful aliens lol.
No, they don't. Look at the 3 girls at 1:58 they look different the thing they have in common is that they're pretty. Yes, they have full lips but that literally doesn't mean they look like each other, I'd agree if you were talking about the Kardashians. Go to a therapist or smth and stop projecting
@@VidaMaePiquero lol. I’m sorry I can’t take anything you said at all seriously. I’m clearly not looking as closely as you. I’m not getting upset over something so inconsequential. It was actually a joke not an insult. I think you’re the one who might be in need of therapy. 😂😂😂😂😂
@@Jusstaaahumman If you need to insult them to make a joke then you do need therapy. How is "alien" not an insult? You said they all look the same and now you're saying you weren't looking closely. Those girls don't look alike at all
@@VidaMaePiquero you very conveniently missed the word “beautiful”. No one ever said they aren’t attractive. That’s something you landed on all on your own. At surface level they all look alike to me. It’s subjective, everyone sees something different. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You can agree to disagree without feeling personally offended. Your reaction says a lot. It’s weird you’re so invested in ppl you’ll never even know on a personal level. Im done with this conversation, you’re entitled to your own opinion and so am I.
@@Jusstaaahumman So the girls at 1:58 all look the same? They don't, not even on surface level. Also, I'm not invested on any of them, I don't even know half on the women in the vid. It just sounds like you're coping and trying to make yourself feel better by claiming they all "look the same." You said "Am I crazy or do they all look the same?" Well, you are since some of def most definitely aren't. How does Sabrina Carpenter look similar/alike to the girl in the clips beside her? Just doesn't make any sense for me
your outfit is giving 2014 vibes in the best way possible 😍
@@eleborate that's what I was going for😇
I downloaded Instagram as a naive teen and my confidence and self-esteem crumbled, those days I could look at myself in the mirror without crying, why was my nose so big? Why don't I have clear skin? Why are your lips a bit thin? Why are my eyes like this? Everything. These questions destroyed my confidence and now im trying to heal. I dont wanna change my face but I just wanna be healthy. I'm at a healthy weight and eat healthy live a pretty good life thankfully, and even if I may not be considered pretty by beauty standards I'm starting to believe that it's alright, that being healthy is attractive, and it's better to attract people for those who you are not what you look like. Anyone reading this, remember STAY STRONG, YOU ARE LOVED AND MATTER. ❤ DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS, COMPARISON IS THE THIEF OF JOY, improve yourself and stay safe 🎀
Exactly! The people that consume contents like that low-key don’t know that it’s ruining their mental health. Seeing people that are way more attractive than you are, physically fit and more successful too. It definitely puts pressure on a lot of people, especially teens.
The “I got first my house at age 18”, “I got all A’s in school”, “I became a millionaire at 21”, “I got 6 cars before my 20th birthday”.
All these now add up to why so many people have anxiety and are depressed. They’re constantly comparing themselves to what they see online. I quickly realised I was getting sucked into that kind of life, and I had to go off social media (except RUclips of course). I’ve been off social media for a year now, and I’ve never been happier.
Yeah the same ones bragging about how ✨exceptional✨they are especially at a very young age, are the same ones that eventually post less and less content after 2-3 years, stop posting completely for like 6m to 1 yr, and then come back with a "where I've been" video talking about the burnout that they brought on themselves, blame social media/ the algorithm for trying to maintain their channel engagement, and then talk about how ✨freeing✨ living life and getting off the internet is.
Then they either change their content completely, make a brand new channel, post once every blue moon, or just never come back on sm.
That's part of why many people don't show their face online, not wanting to participate in the game..
!
3:26 ( please don’t attack me. This is my personal opinion), but she is so right. No hate but we have girls like the kalogeras sisters, Leah Hilton, esil and others I can’t think of, got famous because of their looks. like for example Leah Hilton got 873 million views and 52.4 million likes for just lip syncing to a song like what Leilani said " shes just standing there" and for the kalogeras sisters how they got famous because i remember a video of them popping on my fyp of someone saying how pretty they were and started getting famous🤷🏾♀️ and for esil she got famous because girls boyfriends kept comparing her to their girls so she got famous because shes pretty. Like what Leilani said, tiktok is just all about being pretty now. I'm just saying my opinion, tho no hate towards them
I agree 100%
Honestly I don’t care anymore. Like I can’t dedicate any more energy to beauty standards anymore. It’s all about my life goals. I don’t even have tiktok, my instagram is dedicated to nature/ecology and im planning to get my bachelors in Australia (im currently getting a diploma in conservation biology), im getting ripped so im less likely to injure myself out in the field when I do ecological assessments. I don’t need to be pretty to do that (thank god)
Around a year ago a girl who goes to my school got "tiktok-famous" to the point if I linked her account here some people would definitely recognize her. Her TikTok page is mostly her posting all her vacations, parties, grwm, and ofc those lip syncing stuff. Her makeup is always fully done, her hair is perfect, and she looks so stunning. I actually met her in real life and we became friends but I didn't realize it was her when I first met her - she doesn't wear makeup and she told me how she uses filters and puts a lot of effort. She does this because brands get girls who are pretty to model for them and basically pretty girls get more sponsorships. But in real life she puts no effort in her appearance. in real life she's actually not "society pretty" and she's actually such a normal person, but online she actual looks so unreal. anyways the point is that these tiktok pretty girls are at their best with a lot of effort with their appearance and with a hell lot of filters. they aren't like that in real life. so you really can't compare yourself.
This is so true. It’s all fake.
@HealthWealth-sy2jq na OP has a good point but I've seen a handful of ppl who are genuinely that pretty irl too. live in a really crowded city, so ig it's not uncommon to spot them occasionally here
This!!! I didn't even recognize a girl from her profile picture (we met online) and when we meet in real life was a completely different person, her face was 100% different even her skin color, now I don't even trust the photos.
It's honestly a bit dystopian seeing people blow up from just being pretty, but it makes sense lol
Goes to show what kind of superficial society we are
OMG! People are more attracted to good-looking people?!?! I didn't know that😱
@@VidaMaePiquero yeah…… that’s why I said “it makes sense”, I’m stating the obvious.💀
Eventually men and women will abandon all this fake fantasy. It's too impossible.
Hopefully
😭
Notice, a lot of them have the same type of face. Same structure. Same makeup.
They look different. R u blind
So glad I'm too old for these stuffs. I follow your channel to stay tune to what's happening in the internet and understand my younger cousins. (Btw thank you for that !!m But damn...this is hellish.
🤣 glad you enjoyed
I actually really like Leah Halton she does rlly good makeup tutorials and i used to watch her before she got famous🎀
same shes really sweet!
I love your content! Thank you for making a video about this and pointing out how insane it is. I've noticed that the women that rise to fame on tiktok are not only exceptionally pretty, but they also fit into a very narrow range of certain facial features. It's very rare to see a tiktok famous woman without big, plump lips, a small nose, big eyes, high cheekbones, a narrow face, and a defined jawline. It leads to most female tiktok celebrities looking so similar, almost to the point of confusing one for another. And other creators, even if they are privileged in their looks-- if they don't have the big lips, high cheekbones, "sculpted" look to their face and body, they will not get as far. I think most people would agree that exceptional beauty can look different and does not always look like IG models. Don't get me wrong, they are very beautiful, but it's sad that a certain "type" of beauty that's unattainable for most of the population is the only way a woman can get far using her looks. There isn't much uniqueness anymore in a lot of online spaces and in the IG modeling space. I wish more people would notice and celebrate different types of beauty, whether that look like different facial features, a different race, or a different body structure.
1000000000000%....... agreed ❤
Online pretty means filters. People always say that it's pretty people that's pushed in the algorithm. No, it's filters!!!
You do know that a lot of pretty girls in social media also look as gorgeous in real life, right? Yes, there are some that only look gorgeous with the filters and photoshop on but that doesn't mean that all of them do. I'm just sayin' you shouldn't generalize🤷
My friend is in several Modeling agencies. Yet she doesn’t look like these women on camera but irl I think she is gorgeous
the timing of this video is insaneee - I've been feeling messed up from looking at a tiktok page of my schoolmate's girlfriend who's tiktok famous and insanely pretty, and this made me feel sm better! it's crazy how just seeing a compilation of people looking their "best" without seeing their normal selves can mess up a person if they consume too much. I love your videos because they're so real and they keep me real haha keep it up!!!
Beauty standards today are so pdf filic 🤢
honestly one of the worst things to ever happen to social media was the “tiktok pretty, bunny pretty, fox pretty…” etc. we lose more of our identities and the traits that make us special every day to try and fit into a mold. it’s sad because as humans we are so diverse and there is beauty in everything about us
I am glad that there is people like you posting stuff like this. Though I am older than you, it helps alot, even actually more so.
I miss when TikTok was a dancing app
The “dancing” was always just an excuse to show off your looks.
@anavasquez5231 wait omg really? I never knew that
Not really but a yeah some do@@anavasquez5231
Its still is just ignore this side of TikTok and just have fun on the app
I remember one person that said that french women (where I come from) were more androgynous, and it always stuck to me.
Gaelle garcia diaz is such a beautiful woman, she looks so mature but not tiktok pretty. And that's what I always saw in french women, a "strong" jaw but not an American standard of beauty.
There's some women I see that are beautiful, but they don't have the "tiktok" features. I guess we're more on the "90s" face standard?
It's possible that the filters are optimized for caucasian features. When facial recognition first came out on the iPhone it didn't work well on Chinese faces. If this is true, developers might be working on filters that work differently depending on your ethnic background. There could be some more representation later on.
Interesting topic. A lot of courage to talk about it. Good video.
I really enjoyed your commentary video. I will definitely subscribe to you! What I also would like to mention is that most of the white girls getting famous are girls who have black/brown girls features like full lips, big eyes etc. (which does not mean that white girls cannot have that feautures!) are being considered as very much pretty and tiktok fitting while black girls with similar features do not get the same recognition. Both are beatiful but its always the white girl being celebrated for that features and never the brown/black poc girl.
one of the worst parts (in my opinion) is how these people using filters and altering their appearance are telling us that we're beautiful just the way we are, but society doesn't give a shit about you unless your pretty, rich, or dead,.
Subscribed!!! Great video. I have a degree in Media Studies and wrote my thesis about how algorithms influence society. I graduated in 2020 and thought it was already bad back then but we've taken it even further now.
I hate all the contouring. It’s actually quite ugly to me. I’m actually relieved when i look in the mirror because i don’t contour so i look normal.
Naah cuz my mom technically has all those features that are popular now.. big plump lips , big eyes (trust me they are huge 😭) tiny nose and an some what oval face.. And guess what she is insecure about her looks he particularly hates her lips becuz obviously back then small lips were in trend.. AND I ALWAYS WISHED (STILL DO) TO LOOK LIKE HER.. but its so tragic how such a beauty is insecure too (bte my friends have constantly reminded her she is gorgeous )
Ive seen a Leah yt video & she openly speaks about her getting lip filler done. Idk abt a nose job but point is a lot of these girls get these surgeries & that is what we compare ourselves to. social media is fake & we should not subject ourselves to these standards or copy & paste features. we are all beautiful & different in our own ways so love yourselves & put your phone down & go out & appreciate beauty in real life & not behind a screen ❤
Idk why, but for some reason, I start to think that the people in real life that look more ‘normal’ are more beautiful to me now. I think it’s because of all the TikTok girls that look the same. It makes me want to look for something unique again, something that grabs my attention again. I’m starting to appreciate natures beauty more. I think that soon, other people will start to see their individual beauty more.
I have seen so many pretty girls on tiktok which made me feel insecure about myself and think that i needed to change myself to be pretty like them, i also hated my skin colour because most of those girls were usually white but comparison is the destroyer of fun. I've learned that there is nothing wrong with me and everyone is beautiful just the way they are.
I respect you shedding light on the truth and helping others wake up from these false illusions. ❤
i'm so happy for growing up with tumblr girls and hipsters 🙂. Just ugly filters, nutella, weird stickers and mostly emo-colored-hair with some cringey moustache🤣🤣
Some people don't talk enough of how the youngests are losing individualism for not being able to experience cringey phases, and truly wonder what they like. With the sephora kids you relaized they are just trying to be perfect. weird behaviour, not their fault tho.
I agree! I feel like it was more fun back then and now it’s like you really have to try looking a certain way, seems like a boring way to live your life
I feel like everyone who uses TikTok needs to see this video bec this is just so true. Sometimes my friends send me funny TikTok vids and I watch them, because I don’t use TikTok rly, just Yt shorts and when I finish the video suggested vids will pop up and almost all of them are just girls lip syncing and looking pretty. Like I know there are so many good sides of social media, but this part really makes it harmful to young women and ppl who feel the need to look a certain way.
Tiktok turned into a vanity fair. Glad I deleted this app.
Imaginé a camera without filters... Take away our filters... Changes the game jaja ;)):))) stay well all!!
TikTok just seems like a wild social studies experiment that was created to see what a company could get the younger generation to buy into. If they can get you to follow a beauty trend, what else can the influence you to do?
This is so wild Jesus, glad I don’t use TikTok that much anymore. I hate the fact that “if you’re not pretty, you don’t deserve attention” kind of attitude both from social media and society, it’s so f**** up :/
tiktok pretty? More like filter pretty.
The Botox’d the F out faces to where they don’t have facial expressions is insane to me or the ones with the shiny forehead 😢 like girl plz
I only have RUclips, no other social media platforms and remember my friend showing me insta,TikTok, FB, etc. and I thought to myself “… why does everyone look SO perfect but I don’t see this in real life?” Little did I know about filters and photoshop because I’ve stayed of social media for about 10 years now and I was blown away. It did impact me, can’t imagine for the people who are on there scrolling everyday. I guess not living online and then getting a glimpse of it was confusing bc it was like 2 different worlds… honestly kind of scary. But that may just be me living under a rock lol. ( I was with a group of friends who said “post it for the gram” and I naively asked “what does your grandma have to do with this?”)
I will say the positive thing is that I guess no one looks like that in real life only online?
Hey girl, OMG another video posted from you! But yes, I agree with everything that you are talking about in this video because I never knew exactly what TikTok pretty was or Fox pretty or bunny pretty or dear pretty or animal pretty like they’re just a whole bunch of pretties that I never even knew existed, and we all keep making these terminologies and these analogies the word pretty just have been used in such a weird term to the point where it kind of also feels like a little fetish… like if you’re not these ideal pretties your call 90s pretty or 70s pretty like a lot of light pretties from back then it’s really weird because I really just feel like it’s just fashion sense and just generation of people changing but we keep normalizing things that don’t make sense.
Love your videos! I swear every time I hear the ring in your intro I check my phone! LMAO
8:50 It's not "people gravitate to certain aesthetics", it's algorithms that preferably show certain aesthetics to people
All women are pretty. Let’s stop making these ultra specific labels to convince women that they are not enough. Women are pretty, that’s it. Not bunny pretty, not fox pretty, just fucking pretty. Leave us the f alone
I am most definitely not TikTok pretty. My non-photogenic face and awkward aura won’t allow it, but I have been told I am very pretty and I get free shit from guys or just people in general all the time (I always decline the free handout, but a lot of the times they just give it to me anyways).
Same. I prefer it that way. Being pretty irl has more value. Ppl are almost shocked and you kind of get to Guage ppls real intentions and personality based on how they treated you online vs irl.
I gave up a long time ago. It's waaaaay too much effort. I'll just stay in the low mid range where it's comfortable.
It’s difficult because people online look completely different in person. But we obviously don’t see that. We actually expect people to look flawless and airbrushed in real life. It’s cancerous.
In Leah's case, yeah she went super viral recently, but she also didn't just pop out of nowhere. I've been following her on youtube for about two years, and she has a storytime on how she started getting more followers after and ig account of baddies or something like that posted her picture a few years back.
I'm not saying that it's not pretty privilege (it sure is, cause most of her content is about makeup and hauls), but she was already pretty popular on other social media platforms. Tiktok only skyrocketed that
I guess I'm just too dumb to get influenced by ridiculous beauty standards 😂 like my brain literally can't fathom a human being looking like that so to me seeing those influencers is like seeing a cartoon character. Are Disney princesses pretty? Yes. Have I ever wanted to look like them (as in their faces, not the costumes).....no, not really. But that's just anecdotal and I'm sure people who have been picked on because of their appearance get impacted heavily by this stuff, knowing that having the "right face" could have saved them so much pain :/
The amonut of insecurity I've seen in therror western societies is crazy
In real life they never look like that 🤣
It must feel so amazing to get so much attention on social media just based off of your looks alone. I always find myself comparing myself to those girls and thats why I had to delete Tiktok..whats the point in keeping an app that makes me feel like shit and question my worth as a human being 😅
I think the original tiktokkers meant this the other way around...being pretty in real life is hard...being pretty on a camera you set up is easy...anybody can do it...not everybody can be pretty just walking by...that's rare, and not viral on tiktok...
Gawd everyone is gonna be such narcs in 5/10/20 years time, I’m running away to a farm
Love your commentary! You were on point! This needs to be talked about more! We have the younger generation growing up with social media and that is unfortunately going to harm their confidence 😢
loved the video, also you have the most beautiful teeth ever and I mean it !!!!
Vanity vanity vanity! Another distraction from getting closer to GOD!
I just know I don't stand a chance against these girls on TikTok. But I am so pretty in person 😂❤
Also, I really don't want to sound mean or whatever but these girls are not always the prettiest in real life.
also like she said, most of these tiktok pretty girls pages are them standing there or lip syncing, which doesn’t show us anything about their personality. they could be super boring people who are obsessed with their looks at all times. remember that even the girls who go viral are insecure, there’s more to life than looks. whoever is reading this i love you so much, and know that beauty comes from within. Jesus loves you❤️
I knew who Leah Halton was before that video blew up she’s actually a makeup RUclipsr & was becoming successful before it happened she had just reached 1 million followers or did this year. So that’s where some of it comes from.❤️
I'm Gen z and seeing this makes me feel like out of touch with my generation. luckily my friends don't care I don't have tiktok, but I feel like I am so lucky bc I'm in college right now and if tiktok would've been big when I was in highschool (my highschool was in the most rural of rural areas so tiktok arrived there like years later than anywhere else in the world regarding popularity, tiktok was just secondary Instagram there) I'm afraid I would've been sucked into that dystopia. feel like I really dodged a bullet there
You just discovered the female hierarchy . Congrats!
The jackie eina clip in the beginning... Ive never rolled my eyes so hard.
heyy love your videos, u remind me that social media aint all real, anyway you are genuinely pretty too! i hope all us girls can love ourselves more.. but the internet doesnt help
Love your content ✨️ I always get really excited when I see you in my notifications ❤️
1:52 the girl in the middle is Alica Schmidt. She is a German athlete and goes to the Olympics this summer 😅 she doesn’t get the views only because of her looks but also because she is an athlete. 🙈
I have no idea why you haven’t blown up yet! The quality of these videos and your perspective on things is simply incredible.
I wonder what the tiktok-pretty girls are doing when they are 30, 40, or when replaced by younger and prettier tiktokers in just a couple of years..
Back in my day there were such things such as; tumblr pretty, thinspo, thigh gap. "Clean eating", "model work out. There wer so many models who owned a youtube channel
My favorite mantra is: "I am completely independent of the positive and negative opinions of others." Love your background and you're gorgeous 😍
It's not just the "uglies" that have pores, every single person on this earth has pores. So your fav tiktoker who claims to never use filters but always has smooth skin is unfortunately lying. Even makeup can't hide your pores, your skin will always have texture no matter how much foundation you put on.
Go outside, a lot of procedures look bad irl with natural lighting. Deprogram ur self on the beauty standards. When u see a group of influencers u rlly notice how odd their faces are. Uncanny. A lion doesn’t compare it’s beauty to a cheetah. Enhance ur own beauty, don’t try to fit someone else’s mold.
8:20 I don't think that's the reason, tbh when I started the video I was like "shes so pretty, her face is so symmetrical and she has good harmony". I feel like the only way to become tiktok pretty is by dressing the same way, and doing make up like those girls, having long silky smooth hair and overall to not look basic. For example, Tyla is black and very gorgeous, she can easily take the spotlight if she were next to a white tiktok pretty girl
What a sad society.! Glad i dont use tiktok
I am blessed because I do not have time for tiktok, or other social media. And I do not have a need. I have a real life. With real people. Honestly, if I do not get sick and have to stay at home for months, I do not watch youtube neither... Why we care about other people's life? We have our own. Honestly, if I do not get sick and have to stay at home for months, I do not watch youtube neither... Everybody should have live a real life-than tiktok would not be important anymore
I have a hard time taking many of these tiktok models seriously, because they all at some level look like AI or a video game character. For example, Sarah Crumbleleg. She looks significantly different and more normal in a youtube interview compared to on tiktok (still cute tho). ruclips.net/video/4AAE7mUx_84/видео.html
Yea, that’s why Madison beer doesn’t get taken seriously, the only thing most people care about is her looks.
Fun fact abot tiktoks algorithm as I was researching this topic: its written as a command in the code to only push to your reel vids of what the algorithm recognises as attractive...they scan your features AND EVEN BACKGROUND...thats why you are exposed to JUST THAT. Thats literally the companies motive..to make you subconsciouly want and need to consume only this content...
I can’t believe it’s not more well known just *how much* these filters can change the way someone looks. They even have filters of different celebs, so a girl can be making a video and use a “Angelina Jolie” filter and all the sudden her entire face shape, brows, nose, etc will become distorted to look more like Jolie . They can be used for pictures and video, so you’ll never know what’s real until you see them irl or a candid shot. It’s all so fake and young girls are looking up to this and thinking they have to measure up. At this point most of what we’re seeing is just AI w a woman behind the mask. It’s smoke and mirrors guys …
Not once in my whole life have i met someone in real life that actually looks like the pretty girls on tiktok
Amazing analysis ❤
If you did your hair and makeup a certain way and use a bright light, you could be TikTok pretty too.
Im an aesthetician by trade, and seeing so much of the nonsense in the beauty space is so disheartening that I left it. It went from taking care of yourself and feeling good to inflating your ego more than a hot air balloon. It's clownery plain and simple now. You can't pay your bills but can prioritize eyelash extensions only to find yourself with that 1 last lash hanging on for dear life trying to keep the illusion alive because now you cant keep up with the maintenance? The pressure put on women to literally be this object is gross yet people keep perpetuating it. It feels like we're in a circus, and if you've been fortunate enough to not subscribe to the regressive behaviors that are running rampant, you really see the show for what it is. I mean, you have the same people using filters stating catfishing is so wrong.....really? Whatchu doing in that app just now???? With all the advancements we have collectively, you'd think we would fare better, but it seems like we're moving closer and closer to idiocracy. Terrifying. Societal acne is what we've got, folks, and just like acne, it's often going to get worse before it gets better. Seeing channels like yours leaves me with hope in the human race. Thank you for your conten, and I am looking forward to your next video! 😁
Your thumbnail looks EXACTLY like another RUclipsrs style
it’s very common
