Do you like filters?

As I'm sure most of you know by now, especially if you don't live under a rock, social media "influencers" use filters.

I'll use an old example of Sunny Andrews. She does this all the time, but she uploads images of her photoshoots to her IG page that have subtle morphs, especially around her face, waist and legs. It becomes obvious when you compare to the original (often found on the photographer's page).

Example 2

Now, when I say "filter" I am actually referring to any type of manipulation, but I'm simplifying it to fit the title better. So I could provide other examples of AI, photoshop, video filtering, etc. if needed, but I feel like most of you understand what I mean at this point.

I know it's only pixels to me either way, but I don't like it.

Pin ups and such have been airbrushed and altered from the start. I've seen cave paintings with suspicious proportions and don't get me started on the ancient Egyptians. I think this habit of deception is built into our OS... but I still don't like it.

HATE IT!!! Call me crazy, but I actually like imperfection.

I am not sure it looks better from a distance but if you zoom in it all looks too smooth like a drawing or piece of plastic. and this woman is so perfect it's not an improvement for her. maybe some others with minor imperfections can benefit from this

We're gonna have sex soon, aren't we.

I gather that the purpose of this poll in some way relates to what the mods will allow in the gallery moving forward?

For the GWM galleries, I don't want to see enhancements/"morphs", ai "filters", etc. I expect a certain degree of "airbrushing" by professional photographers but no more than that.

I can't stand the cutesie ai animal filters that make eyes huge, add dog noses, or cat ears and whiskers. I also can't stand the Asian head-shrinking trend.

As for enhancements/"morphs", that's it's own art form and has its place as long as people aren't being deceived into thinking it's real. I myself have been a creator of enhancements for most of my life. The users here seem to generally disapprove of "morphs" from what I've seen.

I've voted "Don't like it" in context of the GWM galleries.

I hate all the morphing filter effects, as if drugs and surgery can't supply enough improvements. It starts to become non-reality. Some people like it but it should be in it's own section so people know what they are seeing. Sunny looks awesome in the regular pictures, no morphing needed at all.

I absolutely hate the "growth" morphing shit. A lot of these women work damn hard to actually get big, for real, so I don't get the people who love the fake pics.
