0:00.0	Please stop using filters on social media for the love of God. Please stop.
0:10.2	I believe a pandemic in reality is the unrealistic fantasy of what we look like and how we
0:20.5	feel about ourselves because of filters on social media. I have never used a filter on
0:27.7	social media. I mean, maybe I need a word filter, but man, I was shocked. Two things. One,
0:36.0	on Instagram, when you post, you can literally, when you put your photo up, just go like that,
0:41.1	and all that looks better, and that looks even better, and that changes the shape of my face,
0:45.2	and that gets rid of all of my blemishes. How easy is to change how you look for a public persona
0:54.1	to please people who maybe don't even care about you. And number two, I was at an Alexander McQueen
1:00.8	fashion show two days ago, and the lady gave me her phone, and she said, can you just take a photo,
1:08.1	but it was in video format, and I could not believe what I saw. I'll talk to you about that in a
1:13.4	moment. I would like to start a campaign to stop filters on social media. You don't look like
1:21.6	your filters. So what's happening is you're showing the world a false, perfect version of you,
1:29.4	which I actually don't think looks better anyway. I don't think your face looks better in the shape
1:33.6	of a triangle. I have to be honest about that. So actually, a lot of people probably think you look
1:38.5	worse, not better. It looks nothing like you. And then when people meet you in real life, they're like,
1:44.9	who is that? So you create this unrealistic fantasy that you cannot live up to in real life.
1:50.8	So when you go to real life, real life is a letdown. Now, people are always saying, I hear this
1:55.7	all the time. I just want to be loved for who I am. Then you have to show who you really are on
2:01.7	social media. And if you put a false version of yourself out on social media, hey, world, this is
2:08.1	me, but it's actually a filter. It look like a pixie and a fairy and I'm unblemished. Hey,
2:13.0	world, this is what I really look like. And then you meet people in real life and you're flawed and
2:18.1	imperfect because we are all flawed and imperfect. Then you've created an unrealistic expectation.
