apparently this is a hot take but this means...nothing? influencers can say this all they want, but theyre still the ones doing it. maybe instead of saying "hey dont let my full-glam, highly edited, professionally lit photo fool you", we just..dont do that? and dont do exactly what youre saying is damaging and dangerous?? influencers get praised for calling out the fake social media "culture" when they're the ones creating it. they're not going to stop posting edited/professional/unachievable photos, despite knowing the dangers of what they're doing. that's almost worse than not acknowledging it at all, imo :\
exactly!! yes! the line about how she wishes this were common sense and not something she had to explain left a bad taste in my mouth for the rest of the post. they dont see how abnormal it is to post photos that look nothing like themselves. young kids dont know that. and honestly, i dont think that's something we should know. i dont think it's healthy or right the way people have normalized lying about their looks and lives. this isnt something we as humans should have to adapt to and have to learn how to understand. it just shouldnt happen in the first place.

totally! i appreciate that she's being honest and showing the 'hidden' parts of social media. but the thing is, she's being honest /now/. she'll just go right back to posting the fake stuff and act like she didn't just call influencers out. influencers shouldn't preach being honest and real if they're going to go right back to the lies. it's just so hypocritical.
