Beauty influencer allegedly loses 140,000 followers after filter glitch reveals true face
New York Post ^ | 2-19-26 | Ben Cost

In the footage, the content creator can be seen primping for the camera, when all of a sudden her beauty filter comes off, revealing a mature face with a warm complexion. The virtual varnish is restored a few seconds later, revealing a small, pale countenance with perfectly symmetrical features.

By then, the damage had allegedly been done. Social media reports claim that she lost 140,000 followers after the inadvertent peek behind the online curtain.

I’m reminded of the elf-king from Lord of the Rings, and his beauty spell after being attacked by a dragon’s fire. My grandpa said on a first date with a girl, take her to the beach to go swimming, so you can see what you’re working with. Today, you have to get past the filters.

“she lost 140,000 followers”

I think this is what’s commonly referred to as a “1st world problem”

yep- they always say your country has made it when the leading cause of death is cancer or heart disease. As opposed to African nations, where people die primarily in their 30’s from dysentery, where you basically sh&$ yourself to death

There are youtubers/influencers who never show their faces, and some that only show their hands, but they wear long gloves. You can tell a lot about a person from their hands—- age, sex. race, general health etc.

The Song of Solomon- a book from the Bible is thousands of years old, and in it, a girl basically says: “… don’t look down on me because of my dark skin- I’ve been working outside.”

“I am very dark, but lovely,
O daughters of Jerusalem,
like the tents of Kedar,
like the curtains of Solomon.
Do not gaze at me because I am dark,
because the sun has looked upon me.”- Song of Solomon 1:5-6

Oddly enough, the unfiltered face is not bad looking at all.

The filtered model has dead eyes, like a dolls eyes.

Yet the “work” face she apparently decided upon, to display to the public, seems “animé”, a Japanese trope or ideal.

So when she went for a new face, she seems also to have swapped out her Filipino or Malaysian ethnicity.

An interesting situation. A multifaceted modern technological messed-up situation.

I think some people would freak out if they saw their online favorite women without the Baby Doll filter.

Here is one example. She was one of the first "influencers".

The filter makes her look like a cartoon character. I’m surprised people believed it to begin with.
