A new Tiktok filter shows that we haven’t learned anything from the body positivity

The last toxic trend of the “Chubby Filter”created with artificial intelligence and available on Capcut for Tiktok, earns weight within a second, and It is the demonstration that we have not yet learned anything from the positive body movement, but not only that the myth of thinness continues to exist.

The filter became popular after a star of Only Fans, @Demi_jane1 appeared in a video in floral dress, while gaining eye on from sight. Accompanied by the caption “if this does not force me to go to the gym I don’t know what it will do”, it has come, to date, to about 13 million views.

Unfortunately This ridiculous and sick filter endorsed a fatty attitude And the idea that only a lean and fit person is to be considered healthy. This is not the case, and this type of approach hurts the mental health of many people.

A 2024 study conducted by Charles Stunt University in Australiaon women aged 18 and 28, he discovered that the vision of pro-anorexia content on the Tik Tok platform “had immediate negative consequences on the body image, even when women were exposed to such videos for less than ten minutes”.

Although Tiktok for his guidelines “It does not allow you to show or promote dangerous eating disorders and behaviors for weight loss, or to facilitate trade or marketing of products for weight loss or the increase in muscle mass”, leaves ample space for gray areas as demonstrated by the existence of this trend of the “chubby filter”, which if it grows is because it does not seem to violate any of the current Tiktook policies regarding content on eating disorders.

This is why such a filter, which has nothing goliardic, is to be considered dangerous, to be condemned and banned.
