Even the abundance of cat pics and wholesome posts isn’t enough to hide the fact that the internet isn’t just about making people smile. When you enter the realm of beauty on social media, you have to prepare not just for artistic and aesthetic photos but also for what lies beneath the surface—society’s barely constrained desire to look ‘perfect’ at all times and how damaging unrealistic beauty standards can be.

Case in point—the popular ‘Goddess Women’ Instagram account with 319k followers whose founder photoshops already beautiful-looking celebrities to make them fit social media influencer beauty standards. Have a scroll through some of their latest photoshops and let us know what you think, dear Readers, because the internet’s divided into two camps about this content.

The content they put out raises some very interesting questions about beauty standards, how much is too much, and to what extent trying to replicate these digitally-altered photos can be damaging. After all, research has shown that unrealistic beauty standards can have powerful negative consequences. You’ll find part 1 of Bored Panda's article series about the ‘Goddess Women’ IG page right here.

    She doesn't even look like Emilia Clarke in the edited photo, so what's the point? All the edited photos look like the same woman in different styles. Enough of it!

    This is what leads to so many young women feeling like they are not good enough. Take a beautiful person and remove every single thing that gives her any individuality, anything that is considered a flaw.

    I’ve always thought what makes her uniquely pretty are the slight bags under her eyes. They give her a vulnerability that’s attractive. You erase that, you erase the personality from her face.
