Please don't roast me here, but why is wanting to know what someone looks like without makeup such a bad thing? I've never even thought about it before, so please don't take this as advocating for it. It just doesn't immediately occur to me what the problem would be.

I get why it's gross to have an app to remove clothing, but makeup feels like a different category.

What about an app that changes or removes hair? Or one for sunglasses/jewelry?

Are they all gross in some way that I'm missing? Is it creepy to remove makeup from photos but not creepy to remove earrings?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (4 children)

It's kind of creepy to do anything to a photo without consent. I'm a dude with plugs, and it'd be a little off-putting if a stranger I didn't know digitally removed my ear rings to see what I'd look like.

This is how I present myself. You can see me without ear rings or makeup when I want you too.

I only date women that don't wear makeup everyday day.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I only date women who do exactly what they want to do and not what society says they should do. As it happens, they generally don't wear makeup every day.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

That's a fair assessment. I think I was just saying I didn't really consciously choose that. Just the women I'm attracted to don't wear makeup.

If I'm remembering right, wasn't this specifically developed to assist in helping to better identify victims of human trafficking?

Yep. Found it.

Boy that would seriously mess with the narrative of this comment section if that were the case

Edit: oh no

[–] [email protected] 25 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Of course the creator is going to tout the most morally upstanding use of his app. If it genuinely helps human trafficking victims, then that's another story, but from this quote it just seems like he has some vague hope about it.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 10 months ago

A tech startup with vague likely unrealistic hopes? What are the chances?

It's been used by people for nefarious purposes, regardless of its original intent. Both perspectives are valid.

edit: sexist horseshit is not a valid perspective.

It's not like we wear makeup as some devious plot to trick men and hide our real faces instead of you know, to look good for ourselves. Besides, I don't think I look that different without makeup, sometimes people just ask if I didn't sleep well last night if I don't.

Anyway, if people really cared that much to see their favorite actress (me) without makeup, would you be interested in getting a copy of "Barbie", now available on Blu-ray and select streaming services?

(and there's "The Wolf of Wall Street" for the naked part.)

I might be the minority group here, but I prefer my wife without makeup. After our second date I told her I'd rather see her face as it is, than it be hidden under a mask. Everyone has flaws, it's what makes us unique and there is beauty in that alone. She hasn't worn makeup since and were pushing 2 decades of marriage now.

Thanks, Margot Robbie. You are a pillor of Lemmy society!

The self promotion on obscure forums for a handful of up votes and assumption that you are people's favourite actress makes this account look more like someone pretending to be Margot Robbie, rather than it being genuine.

That's what she WANTS you to think

Man, who would've thought they look like they don't have make-up on when they dom't have make-up on.

[–] [email protected] 106 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This doesn't look like a woman without makeup, it looks like a woman with makeup with a filter over her face.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yep, looks like it was fooled by the fake contour on her right cheek.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Meanwhile: the beauty standards are too high! we need a campaign to show what "real" women look like.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

It's fucking terrible.

Comparison is the antithesis of happiness. People need to learn this early.
