You don't have to get digital plastic surgery in order to be a person online, but there are a lot of companies that strongly suggest that you do. And many of these products have a really particular idea about how we're supposed to look: super white, hyper feminine and creepily youthful.

People want to look nice, I don't see what the big deal is. It's not force don anyone, they seek to download those apps.
Also to address the White thing. That's not some White guy in an office somewhere trying to spread some subliminal white supremacy message through beauty apps. These sorts of apps are huge in Asian markets. Being lighter skinned is something Asian women seek, and not because of a western beauty standard, it has a long tradition in Asian countries. It symbolises that they didn't have to work out in the sun. That they are lighter skinned because they are wealthy and can afford to work inside and not on a farm.
Please do research.

I don't use any of these photo editing apps really, so maybe I can't talk too much, but people seem to like things like the dog filter because it covers their nose. It's always smaller nose, slimmer face, bigger eyes. And doing them sometimes for fun seems fine, but I don't get how people can do it daily. Maybe I'm just conceited, or just have good self esteem, but if anything I rather look in a mirror and do skincare so I can make faces with a shiny face.

Fools need to stop thinking that corporations are out to help you. They only want your information to sell, or your money for those few businesses that still make money the old fashioned way. Stop all that sharing of yourself, bragging, and look to visit actual humans directly.

I just read that people who take lots of selfies have low self-esteem. Who knows whether it's narcissism or not?
Just wait till someone performs a worse global atrocity than a nuclear attack: total internet blackout.

I'm sure that everyone can conclude that Australian Aborigines are objectively more deserving of being the global standard of beauty.
