To think you're not a dog?

[9amtrain]

Is it just me or does anyone else get irritated by every other person on social media having that dog ear filter or similar in their profile photo, Instagram post etc...

I found it faintly amusing when Snapchat filters were a novelty a few years ago but I thought the novelty would have worn off a bit by now.

It's not even necessarily my friends, it's whenever you read the comments of a public page post, and I'm especially noticing it now that I'm joined to Facebook selling pages, they all have it. No idea why.

(And I realise I could delete social media as is often suggested on here but it's not that enraging )

Agree. It makes them look like childish simpletons.

Agree. Think it looks stupid on grown adults.

YANBU. Snapchat filters are flattering but not realistic. I always wonder what people think when they meet someone IRL from a dating site who's had a snapchat filter on their profile pic!

One of the young guys at work is on Tinder and it's gobsmacking how many of the girls only have a rang of snapchat filtered selfies on there. Every single picture they have is filtered.

He even changed his age range to see if it was just late teens/early twenties but there were loads of them in the 30's/40's too. So cringey.

Yeah that's another problem. On Tinder etc if all their pics have filters that change their features how are we meant to know what they look like?!

I don't have a single person with that so it's obviously just the company you keep OP

I can’t get enraged by it but I do find it cringey and weird.

I only have one friend on Facebook that does this. She’s in her 30s. Every single picture she posts of herself has a snapchat filter. I honestly wouldn’t recognise her walking down the street without dog ears or huge alien eyes.

@DianaPrincessOfThemyscira I said it's not necessarily even my friends so no it's not

Short of screenshotting people's profiles I can't show you. I wish I could!

I think this subject has been flogged enough at this point. Let people enjoy things for god's sake. People, adult or otherwise, aren't harming anyone with Snapchat filters.

@NotACleverName it's the first I've seen of it being discussed and something doesn't need to be harmful for me to be allowed to talk about it.

And it makes online dating a nightmare when all their photos have it!!

It's no biggie but it's a bit bizarre when women in their 40s and 50s put these filters on to make them look more like a teen cartoon. It's then a bit weird seeing what they actually look like!

One of Facebook friends posts loads f pictures of her child with the caption “soooo beautiful” #naturalbeauty all well and good but.... every single time she’s used some kind of filter on the pic of the child. Either the creepy flower/butterfly ones or the dog one. So the child is not a #naturalbeauty in the picture anyway and the mum isn’t the type to be #ironic either....
