If Emily Ratajkowski’s tits are getting Photoshopped there’s literally no hope for the rest of us

Her tits are national treasures, leave them be

Look, if someone offered to photoshop my tits, I'd Venmo them all the money in my bank account, forward them the 77 most recent (nearly identical) selfies in my camera roll, and ask if they could throw in a complementary FaceTune as well. After, I'd set it as my Twitter avatar and never change it again. But that would be a choice.

It's not like it's more acceptable to photoshop certain people than others, but when we're photoshopping Emily Ratajkowski's lips and tits, I can't help but wonder what the heck it all means for the rest of us plebs.

Photoshopping is a widely controversial practice to begin with, and particularly so when a subject hasn't been warned before hand, and then suddenly sees a pair of breasts that hardly resemble their own on the cover of a magazine they've probably forgotten they shot for.

Before

After the Madame Figaro cover dropped, Ratajkowski took to Instagram to express dissatisfaction, saying she was "extremely disappointed" with the magazine for altering her without her knowledge, adding that she hopes the fashion industry will learn to stop trying to stifle the things that make us "unique."

We don't need to drudge up the tired "unrealistic expectations" conversation because the years of excessive photoshopping and body altering has engrained it into us, but photoshopping people who are already so conventionally attractive to begin with is almost laughable.

Most of us would sell our left tit to look like any of them in the first place.

Think of the many, not the few.
