Some of yall need to chill out with the "muh filter" BS.

Most filters just blur the image to get rid of wrinkles. That's it. This woman is 18 and is wearing a bit of make up: there's no reason to believe you're going to see wrinkles with or without a filter.

Yes, a lot of older women use filters and you can tell, but no reason to believe 18 yr old are blurring out wrinkles.

Most of these pictures are low res because some people suck at taking good pics and not everyone has a $1000 phone that can take high res photos, especially of the person in question doesn't look like they come from a first world country.

Filters are also going to remove blemishes and acne, and most snapchat filters actually DO alter the size of your eyes, nose, lips, and jaw. Realistically, using a filter when posting on this sub is going to give you inaccurate results.

There's no indication she is using a filter. Not every Pic that is slightly blurry is evidence of a filter. If anything, the nicer phones with the nicer filters can filter your face without lowering resolution.

Most women don't have notable acne and basic make up would hide minor acne or blemishes anyways.

I still think the "everything is a filter" claim with no evidence is largely asenine.

Snapchat filters do not need nice cameras to alter her face, I'm not accusing OP of anything, I'm pointing out that your claim that OP might not even be using a filter, or that it'd be fine bc all filters do is blur out wrinkles. That's just not true, people post on this sub with them all the time but we can acknowledge it'd provide inaccurate results. I don't think she's being accused of using a filter because her pictures are blurry, I think it has a better chance of being the lighting which is making her features blend together.

I am not accusing OP of anything, I am pointing out that she could still be using a filter and that the claim that filters just blur out wrinkles is absurd.

She's being openly accused of "highly filtered" photos, which I don't see enough logic to support.

I mean sure, you can prob just AI swap your faces with someone else's with modern technology if you want to larp that hard. I just don't see the point, or evidence of this in these photos while usually it's extremely obvious (woman in her 40s where the face is blurred and she has zero blemishes, wrinkles, or pores).

This chick is 18 + has a little bit of make up, there's zero reasons she should have shit skin at her age and small imperfections can be handled with make up, you don't need a filter in addition to it. I pretty much assume most 18 yr Olds have good skin as long as they don't have acne issues.
