2018/01/17 Iittlegirlbunny I used this when i suffered from extreme anxiety and body dismorphia. I, a 15 year old girl, was obsessed with altering myself to look like gigi hadid. Seeing pictures of her made me feel angry at myself, and it didn’t help that she is constantly celebrated and known solely for he way she looks on the outside. After a year of intense therapy after a suicide attempt, i am still working to accept the way i am naturally, and love myself with and without filters and makeup. I recently used this app to put a makeup filter on a friend for fun, and saw the new “gigi” filter, which alters your face to have similar contours to the model’s. You may not think much of having this as a feature, but this app is advertised specifically towards impressionable teenage girls, and though you may not see the harm this causes, know that you are negatively affecting someone, whether subconsciously or knowingly. You are using insecurity and self doubt to earn money for yourselves. This may not change a thing, and I’m sure this app was not intended to inflict harm, but there is a difference between enhancing someone’s natural beauty with a little color, and creating features that allow one to make their face look skinnier, lighter, or make their eyes look bigger and nose look smaller. Not only is this racist by influencing Western European beauty standards on all faces as the definition for beauty, but directly increases thoughts of self-loathing on your users by subconsciously teaching them that their natural face is not worthy. Think about the impact you want to make on the world, and whether you are hurting or helping your users.
