Funny, I would've thought they would've wanted the reverse.

I’m told that everyone is beautiful.
Therefore, I’m sure no one on TikTok would complain if their photos suddenly showed that they had gained 20 or 30 pounds. I mean: it would be offensive to be offended by that, right?

A filter to make them look thinner, or have bigger boobs?

They’d love that.

Sounds like an excellent weight loss tool.

This is what you’ll look like if you finish that pizza you fat pig you.

You’re all class.

Good thing they don’t have a chubby for making ridiculous comments look more ridiculous :)

These kind of Apps are the 21st Century version of going to the county fair and sticking your face through a wooden cut out scene showing clowns or celebrity figures. Goofball fun.

Oh my! You have teacher wrote all over you. You have that way of inspiring people but still that show of empathy shines through. All of the students would adore you. If you put out a tip jar, I'm sure it would overflow everyday because of your diplomacy, tact and have a way of clearly showing the pathway to success.

Have you thought of a career in teaching or mentoring others? With your gentle way, you can't miss.

I’m guessing the Auschwitz Filter isn’t going to get much traction, either.

I have heard that sometimes, sobering up can cause a similar change in perception.

True.

Removing those filters decenters fat enriched people, thus privileging fat poor people and reinforcing white patriarchal beauty standards, which essentially turns back the clock on any progress made toward body positivity.

she looks better bigger. but that’s just me. always liked the “bigger girls” because hugging skinny girls always felt like bone on bone. not to mention that in a worldwide food shortage you don’t want a skinny girl by your side. she won’t last long.

Fatties object because people can look fat without having to put all the work in.

There are filters that make you look skinnier. But apparently, that is not offensive. So why is this chubby filter somehow offensive? Love to hear the explanation for that one.

Did the filter include neon hair, tattoos and piercings option?

Fat, tatted and pierced, way too many of those roaming around.

There was a filter that eliminated swimsuits. That was banned fairly quickly.
