Aibu to think this is daft

Snapchat filters! Since when has it become the norm to have fuckin ears and a black nose and alien eyes , scrolling through social media and so many have pictures of themselves up with a cutesy Snapchat filter, like this is normal now. No longer a one off oh look at this cute filter picture, actual serious pictures of themselves looking like a rabbit. Pisses me off. Grumpy rant over.

I agree, the long dog tongue ones make me feel a bit sick. I read somewhere that people are having surgery to look more like their filtered photos. (Can't remember where sorry)

It's funny - once. 7,758 later not so much I say

Oh dear God, don't get me started. My niece had a baby last week and posted a lovely natural picture of her and the wee one, 2 hrs later is full make up, massive eyes etc, doesn't look like her face shape etc. All her friends commenting saying gawjuss babe, wouldn't know you'd just had a baby. What they didnt see was her DM holding, feeding and changing the baby in the 2 hrs it took her to look like that. Her make up bag was probably the heaviest bag that went to hospital. I've hidden her on FB, as it was making me unreasonably annoyed, just had a look and every pic since has been staged.

It's fine for kids who are having a laugh but when it's grown adults it seems pretty daft.

A friend of mine does this and mostly they look ridiculous. Also, they aren't very good at it so ears etc. tend to look a bit out of line anyway.

They also use a filtered picture but without the cat/dog/rabbit/gecko/crocodile additions for their dating profile and they don't look like themselves on it. I can understand erasing spots etc. on OLD pictures but looking completely different doesn't seem right to me. They are still young (20s) and still look that young so don't even need to try looking younger in their pictures.

God, it is deeply stupid.

My late 50s aunt and uncle popped a photo on facebook recently here they each looked about 14 years old as their skin was sooooo smooth and featureless. I had a giggle as they are not kidding anyone.

They look ridiculous.

One thing that I always think is that these are the photos that family will look at in years to come. We have many photos of our grandparents, looking as they did, yet future generations will have these to look back on.

I know a girl who lost her baby when they were 3 months old and the majority of photos she has have got filters on. I just don’t get it. I’m not really up on how snapchat works and if you can remove the filters but don’t understand why you’d want a photo with all fire round your head anyway.

People probably keep the original photos and the filtered versions.

Albums as we know them will be obsolete anyway.

Oh god sparkle. That’s tragic.

Vampire, that’s fucked up

I hate it when people do it to babies/small children, they don't need smoother skin ffs! Don't make them think filters are how they 'should' look

Limensoda i found that, I looked years younger.
