MONTH. THE MONTH WHERE WE RAISE CONSCIOUSNESS ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. AND THE MONTH WHERE WE THANK OUR THERAPISTS FOR GIVING US A FAKE NAME WHEN THEY MAKE FUFN US TO THEIR FRIENDS. UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO THE PANDEMIC A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE DOING WORSE THAN EVER BECAUSE IT TURNS OUT THAT THE TECHNOLOGY KEEPING US CONNECTED IS ALSO MAKING US FEEL LIKE SHIT. >> WITH THE DRESS OF THE PANDEMIC, BODY IMAGE ISSUES HAVE BEEN ON THE RISE. >> 43% OF WOMEN, 26 PERCENT OF MEN SAID COVID-19 NEGATIVELY AFFECTED HOW ATTRACTIVE THEY FELT. >> THE COUNTLESS HOURS SPENT ON SPHWHROOM OR VIDEO CALLS IS CAUSING MORE AND MORE AMERICANS TO BE INSECURE ABOUT THEIR APPEARANCE. >> VIDEO CONFERENCING PRESENTS A CONSTANT UNEDITED UNFILTERED LOOK AT OURSELVES THAT CAN BE UNSETTLING. AND THOSE FRONT FACING CAMERAS WE ARE ALL USING AREN'T DOING US ANY FAVORS. >> THINGS LIKE THE NOSE COULD APPEAR LARGER AND WIDER AND THE EYES COULD APPEAR SMALLER.
NOT ONLY IS A PERSON CONFRONTING THEIR OWN REFLECTION WITH MUCH GREATER INTENSITY AND FREQUENT SEE THAN EVER BEFORE, BUT THEY WERE STARRING AT A DISTORTED REFLECTION. >> THIS IS ALL PART OF AN ALARMING NEW TREND COINED ZOOM DYSMORPHIA. >> Trevor: YES, ZOOM DYSMORPHIA. WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT IT IS NOT JUST EVERYONE ELSE WHO LOOKS TERRIBLE ON ZOOM, AND THAT IS REALLY NOT SCHOOL. YOU KNOW, ZOOM SHOULDN'T MAKE YOU FEEL BAD ABOUT YOUR LOOKS, IT SHOULD MAKE YOU FEEL BAD ABOUT YOUR DIRTY ASS LIVING ROOM. BUT IN IS A NEW PHENOMENON WE'RE DEALING WITH. HUMANS DIDN'T EVOLVE TO SEE THEIR OWN FACES ALL THE TIME THAT IS NOT NORMAL. EXCEPT FOR SWINES, I GUESS. THEY DON'T COUNT, THEY'RE FREAKS. LIKE ANOTHER ONE OF YOU. WHAT? >> LIKE THINK ABOUT IT, FOR MOST OF HUMAN HISTORY, IF YOU WANTED TO KNOW WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE YOU HAVE TO GET YOUR FRIEND TO SMASH UP SOME BLEW BERRY AND RUB IT ON A CAVE WELL YOU LOOK LIKE THIS, DAMN, DO I REALLY HOLD A SPARY LIKE THAT? THE GOOD NEWS IS IT ST LIKELY WE WILL ALL BE USING ZOOM A LOT LESS IN THE NEAR FUTURE BUT UNFORTUNATELY THERE ANOTHER TECHNOLOGY THAT ALSO MAKES US FEEL BAD ABOUT OURSELVES AND IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT'S GOING AWAY ANY TIME SOON.
I'M TALKING ABOUT PHOTO FILTERS, THEY HELP MAN KIND REALIZE ITS DREAM OF PUKING RAINBOWS BUT SOME OF THE MOST POPULAR FILTERS JUST HELP YOU LOOK MORE ATTRACTIVE, WHICH MAY SOUND HARMLESS BUT IT COULD BE ANYTHING BUT. >> CUTTING EDGE APPS AND SOCIAL MEDIA FILTERS ARE ALLOWING ORDINARY PEOPLE TO ENHANCE THEIR ONLINE PHOTOS TO IMPOSSIBLE PERFECTION. IN SOME CASES, IT IS SPARKING A CONCERNING PHENOMENON. >> WITH APPS LIKE FACE TUNE YOU HAVE THE POWER TO COMPLETELY TRANSFORM YOURSELF, BIGGER EYES, SKINNIER NOSE AND JAWLINE, SMALLER BUTT OR FLATTER BELLY, WHITER TEETH, SMOOTH ERSKINE, YOU CAN DO IT RIGHT ON YOUR PHONE.
>> WHEN I TAKE A SELFIE I ALWAYS USE FILTERS. I WISH I COULD LOOK LICK MY FILTERED SELF IN REAL LIFE. >> THIS OBSESSION WITH PERSONAL APPEARANCE THAT SELFIE CULTURE ENCOURAGES MAY HAVE DARKER IMPLICATIONS FOR MENTAL HEALTH. >> A STUDY IN THE JOURNALING OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION SAYS FILTER PICTURES CAN TAKE A TOLL ON SELF-ESTEEM, BODY IMAGE AND EVEN LEAD TO BODY DISMORE FIGURE. >> I FEEL LIKE WE ARE LOSING TOUCH WITH REALITY, WE ARE GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE WE ARE EXPECTING PEOPLE TO LOOK AS UNHUMAN AS POSSIBLE.
>> YEAH. PHOTO EDITING– SET UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS FOR BEAUTY. THE SAME WAY– SETS UP UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS OF HOW EASY IT IS TO SLICE FLOATING FRUIT. AND ONCE YOU HAVE THE AVERSION OF YOURSELF IN YOUR HEAD YOU BECOME DISSATISFIED WITH WHAT YOU REALLY LOOK LIKE. IN ESSENCE WE'RE BASICALLY CATFISHING OURSELVES. BUT IF THE EDITING APPS CAN TURN ADULT NOOTION QUIVERING BLOBS OF INSECURITY, JUST IMAGINE WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO KIDS. >> PSYCHOLOGISTS WARN THESE PHOTO FILTERS CAN BE PARTICULARLY TROUBLING FOR TEENS AND YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE STILL DEVELOPING THEIR SENSE OF SELF. >> 80% OF GIRLS IN ONE SURVEY SAY THEY COMPARE THE WAY THEY LOOK TO OTHER PEOPLE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. >> I FOLLOW PEOPLE LIKE DENNEDDAL JENNER AND KILEY JENNER, THEY HAVE THIS TIME MEASURE BODY IMAGE THAT EVERYONE IS EXPECTING FROM THIS GENERATION. >> YOUNG GIRLS ON SOCIAL MEDIA HAVE A NEGATIVE BODY PERCEPTION WITH ONE IN SEVEN GIRLS REPORTING BEING UNHAPPY WITH THE WAY THEY LOOK AT THE END OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
AND THAT NUMBER ALMOST DOUBLING TO NEARLY ONE IN THREE BY AGE 14 BNS 80% OF YOUNG GIRLS ARE USING PHOTO RETOUCHING APPS TO CHANGE THE WAY THEY LOOK BEFORE POSTING PICTURES. >> AND THOSE WITH HIGH SCORES FOR MANIPULATING THEIR PHOTOS WERE ASSOCIATED WITH HIGH SCORES POR BODY RELATED AND EATING CONCERNS. >> HAVE ANY OF YOU QUESTIONED YOUR BODY BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU FEEL ON SOCIAL MEDIA. >> YEAH. >> THIS IS A VICIOUS CYCLE FOR TEENAGERS, SOCIAL MEDIA MAKES THEM UNHAPPY WITH HOW THEY LOOK, SO THEY USE FILTERS WHICH PER SPET YAITS THE UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS FOR THEMSELVES AND OTHERS PLUS THEY ARE TEENAGERS, THEY ARE DOING ALL OF THIS WHILE DRIVING WHICH PUTS EVERYONE AT RISK.
ALL THIS INSECURITY IS HARMFUL TO TEENAGERS, I KNOW IT IS HARD TO TUNE ALL OF THIS OUT BUT TEAMS SHOULDN'T BE OBSESSING OVER THIS STUFF. LUKE I HONESTLY WISH I COULD SIT ALL TEENAGERS DOWN AND SAY HEY, DON'T WORRY ABOUT HOW YOU LOOK. THE PLAN IS GOING TO DIE OUT BEFORE YOU ARE 40, IT DOESN'T MATTER. >> IT IS BAD ENOUGH WHEN PEOPLE WISH THEY HAD THE PERFECT INSTAGRAM LOOK IN REAL LIFE. WHAT IS WORSE, IS WHEN THEY ACTUALLY TRY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. >> THE MORE PEOPLE LOOK AT DOCTORED UP IMAGES, THE MORE LIKELY THEY ARE TO ACTUALLY START SEEKING OUT COSMETIC PROCEDURES AT YOUNGER AGES. THESE COSMETIC PROCEDURES ARE BECOMING SO POPULAR WITH TEENS, PLASTIC SURGEONS COINED A NEW SYNDROME, SNAPCHAT DISPOR FEEA. >> AND THE NUMBER OF KIDS GETTING A– MAY A SOUND YOU MORE THAN 230,000 TEENS HAVING COSMETIC PROARKS KIDS AS YOUNG AS 13. >> DOCTORS SEEING AN INFLUX OF PEOPLE OF ALL AGES TO LOOK MORE LIKE THEIR FILTER. >> 62% OF PLASTIC SURGEONS REPORTED THEIR PATIENTS WANTED TO GUNNED THE KNIFE BECAUSE OF DITS SATISFACTION WITH THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA PROFILE. 57% SAID THEIR PATIENTS WANTED TO LOOK BETTER IN SELFIES.
>> ABSOLUTELY. THEY ARE BECOMING MORE AND MORE COMMON, WHEN PEOPLE SHOW ME IMAGES ON THEIR INSTAGRAM OR EVEN SOMETHING THEY POSTED ON FACEBOOK AND GO THIS IS REALLY HOW I WANT TO LOOK. >> LAST WEEK I HAD A PATIENT AND ASKED ME FOR MORE OF AN ANIME EYE AND COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY IT IS NOT POSSIBLE. >> Trevor: THIS IS REALLY DISTURBING. 13 YEAR OLDS, IN PARTICULAR, SHOULD NOT BE GETTING PLASTIC SURGERY. WHEN YOU ARE 13 YOUR PHYSICAL APPEARANCE IS ALREADY NATURALLY CHANGING. OUR FACES ARE DOING LONG-TERM PASS TUCK SURGERY, THIS IS WHAT I LOOKED LIKE WHEN I WAS 136789 YOU GOT TO LET THAT SHIT PLAY OUT.
HONESTLY, I DON'T BLAME THE TEENAGERS. I BLAME THE PARENTS AND THE PLASTIC SURGEONS. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO LET THEM DO THIS TO THEMSELVES. THEY CAN'T EVEN BUY CIGARETTES BUT YOU WILL LET THEM BUY A NEW FACE. CLEARLY THIS IS GETTING OUT OF HAND. WHICH IS WHY THERE IS NOW A MOVEMENT NOT JUST AGAINST FILTERS BUT ALL THE WAYS THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DISTURB– DISTORTING REALITY ON SOCIAL MEDIA. >> MANY INFLUENCERS HAVE STARTED SPEAKING UP ON THIS ISSUE ADMITTING THAT THEY HAVE PRESENTED ALTERED IMAGES IN THE PAST AND ARE OPENING UP THE CONVERSATION.
>> SOME ARE EVEN POSTING RAW, TOTALLY UNEDITED PHOTOS AND BREAKING DOWN HOW PEOPLE ON YOUR INSTAGRAM FEED MAY BE MANIPULATING THEIR ANGLES AND LIGHTING TO GET THAT QUOTE UNQUOTE PERFECT LIGHTING. >> THERE ARE MANY CELEBRITIES EXPOSING THE DANGERS. THEY ARE POSTING IMAGES OF THEMSELVES UNEDITED, UNFILTERED, ONLINE. AND THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE TO YOUNG GIRLS. >> POP STAR LIZZO MADE A BIG FLASH SPLASH WHEN SHE POSTED A SELFIE IN THE NUDE AND UNRETOUCHED. >> THERE IS NO SHAME ANY MORE. AND I JUST KIND OF POST MYSELF, JUST TAKE ME AS I AM. ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE TO LOVE ME. >> LUKE EVANS HAS PROPOSED TO DIGITALLY ALTERED BODY BILL REQUIRING ADVERTISE ESCHS TO POLICE DAY A LOGO WHENEVER A PERSON'S FACE OR BODY HAS BEEN DIGITALLY ENHANCED. >> Trevor: FIRST OF ALL, I LOVE THE IDEA OF PUTTING DISCLAIMERS ON PHOTOS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN DIGITALLY ALTERED. I LOVE IT. I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD STOP THERE.
WE NEED TO DO THIS ON EVERYTHING THAT SEESMS DIGITALLY, LIKE FOOD ADS, THOSE ARE THE WORST, EVERY FAST FOOD BURGER LOOKS GREAT BUT WHEN I ORDER IT IT LOOKS LIKE IT FELL ASLEEP IN A HOT TUB. BUT I'M GLAD WE ARE LEARNING THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT CELEBRITIES LOOK LIKE. PERSONALLY I'M WAITING FOR SPONGEBOB TO JOIN THIS MOVEMENT. NO WAY THAT GUY IS THAT SQUARE NATURALLY, YOU SEEN THAT, IT IS NOT– WHAT YOU DO YOU MEAN IS HE NOT REAL, HOW WOULD WE SEE THE SHOW. I'M NOT NAIVE ENOUGH TO THINK THAT SOCIETY WILL STOP CREATING UNREALISTIC BEAUTY STATUSES ANY TIME SOON BUT I HOPE WE CAN BETTER EDUCATE OUR KIDS AND OURSELVE THAT OUR OWN NATURAL BODIES ARE BEAUTIFUL, EXCEPT FOR THAT OLD PEOPLE SKIN WE HAVE FOR OUR ELBOWS, THAT SHIT IS GROSS, I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE, IT IS LUKE A MID ARM BALLSACK, BUT EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL, BECAUSE THIS MOVEMENT COULD TAKE AWHILE, WE HERE AT THE DAILY SHOW DECIDED TO COME UP WITH A FILTER OF OUR OWN THAT MIGHT HELP.
>> OUR SOCIAL MEDIA FILTERS GIVING YOU BODY IMAGE ISSUES? ARE YOU DE PRESSED YOU DON'T LOOK AS GOOD AS YOUR FILTER? THEN GOOD NEWS. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT LIVING UP TO YOUR FILTER AGAIN. WITH RUDI PHI T IS A WRAPPED NEW FILTER THAT TURNS YOUR FACE INTO RUDY TBEULIANEE, YOU WILL NEVER BE UNHAPPY ABOUT HOW YOU LOOK IN REAL LIFE.
