As requested, a thread for general snarking that may not need its own post.

    I have just spent more time than I will disclose here analyzing the differences between my front camera face and back camera face.

    Is there someone I can sue for damages??

    Results: I still have jowls and my face is not thinner, pointier or sharper in any way. Front camera widens the middle of your face and makes the eyes slightly wider from temple to temple. I do not have a larger forehead, more eyelid space, a fuller mouth, or larger eyes.

    If I actually spent this kind of time looking at my body in the same way, I’d probably be insane and unwell also. Social media is so unhealthy. I’m glad my kids are going into psychology….the generations ahead them will need them!

      I know it’s probably not true but I wondered if that person who commented on FacialSwelling’s latest post pointing out Sarah’s filtering was from her party lol. The front and back camera doesn’t change the orientation or size of one’s facial features.

        I understand what that person was saying. I used to dabble in amateur photography stuff. Different lenses will change the size of your face in various ways. What it won’t do is add/remove fat, change the general shape of your face (it may widen/lengthen your face but it will still remain its general shape), nor will it create/remove a sudden double chin at the same angle.

        I’ve seen Alex Light post a reel of her face with different lenses like the link that person shared on yesterday’s post. The fact of the matter is, both those people in their videos clearly remained looking like themselves. TBP transforms into someone almost completely unrecognisable. This is not the trick of a camera lens. This is fraud.

        I wondered too. But it felt like just a lemmer who wandered in. It’s not the first time Ive read or heard that though. 🙄
