Fakes & Filters 💜

Why do some people use fake, glamourised pics from the internet?

If you’re going to post your pic here, at least make sure it is YOU

Otherwise just don’t post it, because fakery always comes out in the end 😉😊

BTW - JUST LOVING THE DOWNVOTES, PROVES THIS POST IS HITTING HOME 😁

Why does it matter? Not trying to be controversial but some people want the internet to be an escape. If they are funny and engaging let them have their ears and tails and stars shooting out of their ears🤷‍♀️

@FoolishLuna It matters very much, as it’s deception

You have missed the point of this post - read it again

I personally don’t find it funny, nor is it innocent - it’s insidious
SW-User
It can be a escape but liying is liying, this world is fake enough, I rather something real even if it's not perfect than something made up.. @FoolishLuna

@SW-User Precisely babe - many people have been cheated & deceived on the backs of internet fraud

Because that’s what it actually is - fraud

@BalmyNites this is the internet … what is real about any of it? Yes I read your post , if people want to be delusion who cares. Are you planning to meet them or break bread with them??? Maybe it makes them happy. Just my opinion

@SW-User how is a Snapchat filter deceptive 🤷‍♀️
BalmyNites · F
@FoolishLuna I would wager that the majority of people do care, actually

Are you endorsing lies & dishonesty then?
FoolishLuna · 56-60, F
@BalmyNites I am saying this is the internet it is what it is.
SW-User
@FoolishLuna she's talking about real fakes, not just about funny filters
BalmyNites · F
@FoolishLuna So you believe it’s ok/acceptable to lie, because “this is the internet it is what it is”

You should be aware that, according to the law, the internet is classified as a public arena & thereby subject to the same rules as on the street 😊
BalmyNites · F
@SW-User She knows 😊
FoolishLuna · 56-60, F
@SW-User well if someone is kind and they want to keep their anonymity I don’t care. When it comes to this site you get what you get here. 🤷‍♀️

@FoolishLuna Kind & fake - there’s an oxymoron if ever there was! 🤣🤣🤣
SW-User
@FoolishLuna like I say some don't care if they're lied to or not, like yourself and I was telling that to balmy , see internet as game.
Well many of us dislike that kind of thing because we rather something authentic and we're like that.

@SW-User Great comment, you get it entirely 😘
SW-User
@BalmyNites why the need to be fake if they're kind, simply don't use pics and be themselves, use an avi or something. Why the need to steal pics 😕 @FoolishLuna
BalmyNites · F
@SW-User Exactly - if you wish to remain anonymous, simples - just don’t post pics, full stop

Another thing entirely to post up fake pics pretending to be something you are not 😊
SW-User
@BalmyNites yes and worse here, where personality is more evident. With their posts.. Their thoughts.. Etc. It's just the need to be liked deceiving

@SW-User The real nitty-gritty of it right there - THE NEED TO BE LIKED OVERRIDES THE TRUE OBLIGATION OF HONESTY 🤗🤗

@FoolishLuna Not at all, it’s my true & honest opinion 😊

‘Giggles and distraction” don’t come into the equation where morals & telling lies are concerned, I’m afraid - as agreed by the other 29 people who have liked this post

One good piece of advice is, never assume 😉

Good luck to you, too!
FoolishLuna · 56-60, F
@BalmyNites yes careful with assume ….😉
