I find it really disturbing when people use filters on their photos or videos online. No one looks like that in real life, and the synthetic face really activates my aspie hackles.
It's one thing to take a photo at an attractive angle. I guess a little filtering would be okay, to you know take out a blemish or something. But I don't know what it is about those new, heavily filtered "instagram style" pics, but I just hate something about the false, too-symmetrical, fuzzy appearance. Even though the pics are asthetically beautiful, there's something about them that literally turns my stomach, as if I saw something grotesque.
Does anyone else feel uncomfortable when looking at heavily filtered photos online? It's usually women that post them of themselves.
