Why isn’t “airbrushed skin for all” written in the constitution? For years, photoshop was a professional’s game, gatekept, if you will, from the masses. But then Facetune came about and forever changed the course of history, democratizing photoshop to the dysmorphic masses. The promise of a user-friendly photoshop experience, where anybody could fabricate their appearance, was more seductive than anything because, by the year 2017, Facetune was the most popular paid app around. But as people begin to hide behind their social media avatars, and as our avatars become less realistic by the day, we can’t help but wonder whether Facetune has damaged our self-perception forever. In this finale episode, Hannah and Maia discuss the impact of Facetune - from the advent of “no face,” to Celebface turning “facetune-spotting” into a sport, to plastic surgeons using it as a conditioning tool. Has our vain, over-stimulated visual culture raised the ceiling so high that we now aspire to look like aliens? Tangents include: Lena Dunham’s new show, and Mary M. Cosby’s photoshop skills. Support us on Patreon and get juicy bonus content:⁠https://www.patreon.com/rehashpodcast⁠Intro and outro song by our talented friend Ian Mills:⁠https://linktr.ee/ianmillsmusicOur Sponsors:* Check out Mood and use my code REHASH for a great deal: https://mood.com* Check out Quince: https://quince.com/REHASHAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
