Horrifying YouTube add – Sweet Selfie: Photo Editor&Cam Review

I downloaded this app so I could leave a review in hopes the developers or advertising team would see this. I came from a YouTube add where the features of the add were displayed by “fixing” girls with curvy bodies and giving them a Disney princess waist line that made it look like they had no organs. Trying to convey that these women’s bodies were unacceptable and needed editing that extreme is so incredibly toxic. I’m sure this app is good considering the other reviews, but this is not how we should be promoting things like this. Editing apps are great for fixing bad lighting, editing out a pimple or some stray hairs, but we should not be using them to change ourselves into some extremely unrealistic standard of beauty that young girls think they need to achieve in reality when it’s all editing and no one really looks like that. I realize I’m getting far too heated over this, but the impacts of this are real, and the corporate photoshop that celebrities endure on magazine covers that we are all so eager to criticize is no different than this. We should come at things like this with the same enthusiasm. Please consider changing the way you advertise as to not contribute to the idea that being a size 00 with an hourglass figure is the only way to be. I’m sure your intentions were pure enough but change needs to occur.
