40 Times People Noticed Instagrammers Who Edited Their Pictures So Much, They Exposed Them Online (New Pics)
The rise of selfie culture has changed the ways we perceive beauty beyond recognition. It has blurred the lines of what’s real and fake, of what’s natural and purely fictional. When heavy photo editing and filters came to social media, at first, everyone was just messing around.
Now, kids as young as ten are airbrushing their selfies with ready-made augmented-reality face filters that often sharpen, shrink, and enhance their faces and bodies. But the result is often anything but pretty. And now, many social media influencers are being busted for using these filters to alter their identities and create fake personalities.
It’s no secret that some go as far as pushing this fakery to its very limits, and this is where the community r/InstagramReality steps in. "It's unbelievable how some people get away with it while others don't!" the subreddit writes on its page.
Let’s see some of the worst offenders below, and after you’re done scrolling, make sure to check our previous posts on Insta vs Reality here, here and here.

This Model Makes Herself Look Easily 25 Years Younger And It’s Crazy

Geez the filtered version makes her look like she could be her own daughter.
Happy_Pandalover 4 years ago (edited)
Apparently she is a webcam girl (CoconutKitty) that „protects“ herself by modifying her face so she doesn‘t get recognized in real life. There is a Rolling Stones + wired article about her. Not sure, it‘s a great idea to make yourself look like a minor. But thought you guys should know this. https://www.wired.co.uk/article/coconutkitty-instagram-digital-manipulation

She’s disgusting. She has an only fans page where she posts sexually explicit pictures featuring her filtered “young” face. Hopefully they’ll implement new guidelines where you can’t post photos that emulate pedophilia.

The photo on the right says at least 65 years old, the one on the left says 22 years old. The 65 year old is not bad looking, but certainly is not as plump, wrinkle free and smooth tone chested. Way too many tattoos for a woman regardless of age. Imagine having those seen at 85 years old, disgusting really.

Lets try for 40 years older. I bet the one on the right is at least 65 years old. She is not a bad looking 65 year old, but certainly not 20-25 years old on the left.

I get the social pressure that everyone but mostly women have to look younger. But there's a world of difference between editing your photos to look a wee bit younger, and making yourself look like an adolescent and then making explicit content online. That's horrendous and I hope they shut down her IG account.

Someone claimed this is IG user "coconutkitty143", and if that's true, then I think someone pulled a reverse switcheroo here. I think they took a legit photo (left, which is edited but looking at the user's IG, seems to be her real face) and may have put an older model's face on it, just to mess with us and/or the user.

Will Never Understand The Appeal Of Little Head Syndrome
Bored Panda reached out to Erin Alyssa Vogel, a social psychologist and senior research associate at the University of Southern California. Her researches involve adolescent e-cigarette use, social media and digital health, and tobacco use disparities in the LGBTQ+ community.
“Influencers are under a lot of pressure to make themselves and their lives look perfect. Most people who use social media try to portray themselves in a positive light, by posting about good things that happen to them and posting their favorite photos of themselves,” Erin explained.
However, for influencers, the pressure to look perfect is even more pronounced, she said. “Their appearance is part of their brand. Face tunes and filters can help them achieve the perfect look. I wouldn't say face tunes and filters are 'addictive,' per se.”
“But when people get used to seeing only filtered photos of themselves, they may start to really dislike their natural appearance, and continue to use filters,” she added.

Body Positivity So Strong It Caused A Tsunami
It’s no secret that the addictive face filters, heavy photo editing and other appearance enhancements that are so popular these days on social media often do more harm than good. “Filters help create and enforce unrealistic beauty standards,” Erin stated and added that “For many years, we've been exposed to airbrushed and highly edited photos of models and celebrities.”
“Now, with social media, we see filtered photos of our peers too. It's easy to forget that the other person's appearance is not actually flawless. We may compare our real appearance to other people's filtered appearances and feel worse about ourselves as a result. Also, if we only see filtered photos of ourselves, our natural appearance in photos may start to look strange and wrong to us.”

She Can Touch The Sky With Those Legs
We also spoke to Helen Egger MD, a child psychiatrist and co-founder and Chief Medical and Chief Scientific Officer of Little Otter. “We’ve always had the challenge of images being filtered and doctored to make unrealistic measures for what beauty looks like,” she said. But filters on social media take it to the next level, “because it's not just seeing an image of a celebrity who is unrealistic and measuring yourself against that person, it’s measuring your real self against a pretend image of yourself.”
According to Helen, “Edited images receive positive reinforcement from likes and comments, which serve as a dopamine hit. You like the feeling and want to do it again, which feeds on itself.” Meanwhile, “Face filters use algorithms to reinforce a certain standard of beauty that is very narrow. It doesn’t support individuality, it supports conformity with what’s the standard of beauty, which is worrisome.”
“In some cases, this can turn into body dysmorphic disorder, in which you are convinced some aspect of your body isn’t good enough. It becomes a fixation, an obsessive worry that often leads to anxiety, social isolation, eating disorders and seeking out cosmetic surgery,” the child psychiatrist concluded.

I don't really mind people who photoshop, but I do hate when they do it and are trying to sell you something. Like "Check out how great this make-up works," yeah, can't tell so you video/photo is useless and misleading. Or "I work out and give life style advice, buy all these supplements." No, it is just leading to false expectations. I mean, I get it though, you get more traffic when you photoshop so it is kind of like athletes dosing to win, if you don't do it then you will lose out to the competitors. Consumers mock this sort of thing and say they want it to stop, but when people started to flock to instagram instead of reading magazines, who got the followers and who didn't? We say we don't want photoshop but that is a lie. We want to be lied to, that if we just do x, y, and z we can achieve these unrealistic body standards and suddenly not have any pores anymore, line free faces, and tiny waists.

I don't like the flat stomach thing. It's not healthy to have that and posting pictures of you with it will probably make other girls develop unhealthy habits to get one. Women are supposed to have a stomach that kind of sticks out, even if your skinny. I didn't learn this until a little bit ago and I used to beat myself up about it (it doesn't help that I bloat over the day either), but now I'm fine with it. Everyone here was plenty beautiful without the Photoshop. I really wish this wasn't a thing at all...

The society always is attracted to youthful /thin /smooth skinned / perfect bodied people and this pressure has gotten the better of them. I'm glad you teach your children to be proud though :')

I just think it's really sad that these young people feel they have to alter their appearance to make themselves feel attractive in the online world . People are so judged on appearance now, yet what's quite ironic is that their original photo is much more attractive then their robotic makeover..

But why would the think that turning themselves into freaks would make them more attractive?

The last one with Kelly Osborne, is not fair. One is before she lost a lot of weight, and one is after.

The one near the end where her stomach looks like it has collapsed in on itself - those are the types of images that are used as "pro eating-disorder" propaganda...... It's terrifying and so, so sad.

I don't know whether these people really believe that others believe these are real and accurate, or if they all know that they're fake but don't care, they just all love these freaky looks.

Most of these are either hilarious or nauseating. People choosing to look freaky or alien.

Stop looking and commenting on these fakes and maybe they'll stop lying to the world.

I feel sorry for these people. The level of self loathing is staggering.

Poor people. And what they don't understand is that they are spreading body shame into the world by doing this.

Y'all need to let people be. Let them make themselves feel better with filters. We've all done it .

So pathetically sad. I feel sorry for all of them. Imagine being that ashamed of the way you really look.

I found one, how do I send it in. He was super trolling someone and his pictures are so bad 😂

All of you are beautiful, no need to photoshop. All of you just need to smile whole heartedly with your real face.

They should make a horror movie with the monsters looking like these photoshopped images. Just seeing the pictures make me feel creeped out.

The ones that you can definitely tell are photoshopped (like the big hips, thighs, backsides an tops) are just silly. Some of the ones that are just makeup though? If you learn how to contour your face right, you can totally transform the way you look. Watch drag queen makeup tutorials and you'll see what I mean.

Don't really understand the end game with this. Like bitch you exist. People can see you. Nobody is fooled.

All these people suck. Do they really think we are so effing stupid that we can't see it's not real? Are they themselves so stupid that they think it looks good? Imbeciles all of them, also the people liking these pics. This is why more and more people loathe instagrammers and influencers. Crap, it's bad, sad, and effing stupid.

in a good deal of these photos, the “photoshop” was a lighting change. and the “comparisons” took and instagram photo and then a purposefully unflattering/grainy photo. there were also couple moth gaps between photos. really??

As a trans person, I'd like to say this isn’t even remotely similar to transphobia & it's insulting to compare the two.
