Today, my dad finally added me on Facebook, When I looked through his photos, I quickly noticed he'd heavily photoshopped the photos I'm in to make me look prettier. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my parents. The first thing my dad did was comment that given how pretty she looked in our photos, and compared to how she looks in real life, she's amazing at using Photoshop. FML
Today, I sent my grandfather a picture of me because he hasn't seen me in years. I guess I should wear makeup next time, because he sent back a heavily photoshopped and cropped version and told me how beautiful I look. FML
Today, my dad went through all the trouble of sneaking onto my laptop and photoshopping a bong into my Facebook profile picture, apparently just so he could win a €20 bet with my mom, that hinged on her grounding me by December. FML
Today, I saw my mom's Facebook profile picture for the first time. It had all of my family members in it. I was cropped out. FML
Today, I was looking at my friend's dad's Facebook pictures because he recently posted a status update. I saw him at a bar with some ugly hooker that he was feeling up in almost every picture. After about 10 minutes of ridiculing and laughing at this ugly woman, I realize it's my mom in a wig. FML
Today, I found out that my dad recently created a Facebook account for himself. So I friended him. He refuses to accept my friend request. He did, however, accept my sister's. FML
Today, my dad found the ugliest picture my mom has ever taken. I show it to her laughing. She said it looks like me. I looked again and it kind of does. FML
Today, I was at a friend's house when his dad told me that he had Photoshopped his face onto a woman's body. I looked at the photo and said it was gross, disgusting, and weird. Later on, my friend told me that the photo was actually a picture of his dad's twin sister. FML
Today, my father made a post on Facebook with an old baby picture, saying how proud he was that I got into college. This would have been sweet if the baby picture was actually of me. FML
Today, I posted a photo on Facebook showing a side-by-side view of me before and after I'd tried out my new makeup. My dad commented, "What is this, Gollum cosplaying an Orc?" My mum, brother, and over 20 "friends" liked his comment. FML

Well, they're his genes... On a serious note, FYL OP, it's a dad's job to support their daughters and make them feel beautiful.

but your name is fuglybetty?

I was thinking that it could be a kind gesture as well, if OP usually photoshopped her pictures and felt very insecure about herself. Posting unflattering photos could've made OP more upset. As in, it's not certain her father meant to be a douche.

Well then OP is 2fugly4me
MeanBeagle 22
I was just pointing out the fact that she doesn't even respect herself. if op goes around calling herself ugly she's giving permission to others to follow suit

I'm pretty sure OP used FuglyBetty cause she assumes her dad thinks she's ugly because he photoshopped her face in the pictures he posted.

Or she was that before. Maybe that's what caused the dad to photoshop her pictures.

The job if a father is definitely to support his family, but that second one is just a bit shallow.. I have a niece who asks me if she is pretty and cute all the time, the girl is 4 and already has a complex.

Uh no it is not. They are there to parent you not make you feel good about yourself.

Makes me wonder if the photoshop is a reflection of how he treats her in real life though

Thats awful! You should talk to him about it .

I've heard a lot of similar stories, I just don't understand why parents can be so rude to their children..

Im so sorry op. I'd be really upset if my dad did that.

You're dad can use photoshop on all the photos he wants. It doesn't hide the fact that he's an ass for not accepting how you look, and needing to change how you look before posting it. A little photoshop to make you look better is okay, but he shouldn't be heavily photoshopping a photo. It's a picture of you, and he's got problems if he is embarrassed to post pictures of you without changing them.

The only acceptable photoshopping is touching up the photo itself, like removing red eye or sharpening the entire shot. If he's using it to make her "look better", he's too concerned with her outer beauty to be considered an honorable father.

#19 What if OP were to have had a huge breakout recently or something similar? Then it would have been acceptable to edit that out. Not saying it's right for him to have heavily photoshopped her pictures because that is horrible but I think it's fine to edit minor things that would embarrass the person to have posted (bad break outs for example) not to necessarily make them look better but just to save the person of whom the picture was taken the embarrassment of all of the dad's friends seeing it. So really all I'm trying to say is there are some instances where minor changes are ok but he should never have heavily photoshopped them he should be proud of how she looks regardless. I apologize for being so long winded though!

justatree said "a little photoshop to make her look better is okay" and then got downvoted. and then mrconsice said the same thing and get up votes? i agree w you tree
Just_A_Tree 20
Thank you! As far as photoshopping goes, little touches are fine, and even encouraged. On acne, for me personally, I would want to show her that acne isn't a big deal, and she shouldn't feel embarrassed of one or two pictures of herself with acne in them. God knows I have plenty of pictures with bad acne. But I would say it's okay to photoshop out acne if that's okay with her, and especially on important photos, like yearbook pictures. That's the image that everyone is going to remember you by, if you're not okay with the acne, then photoshop it out.
MrConcise 35
They're *not* the same. Re-read Tree's comment, it's implied it's okay to make changes to the subjects of the shot rather than the dynamics or attributes of the shot itself.

If you think about it most of our pictures are altered in one way or the other. Filters & such.

Especially the photos we take of ourselves. I always say a profile pic is how you want to look and a tagged photo is how you actually look.
