Netizens stand divided over Bold Glamour, with many criticizing it for spreading body dysmorphia

TikTok filters have become a topic of controversy recently, including the Bold Glamour effect.

Some users argue that the filter sets unrealistic standards for beauty that people, especially young girls, have to follow. Many have stated that it is not good for mental health as it is making everyone feel bad about their real selves.

Criticizing the filter, one user said that the person who "invented the Bold Glamour TikTok filter" should be jailed immediately. Some even said that the filter was giving "body dysmorphia vibes."

Meanwhile, there were others who loved the filter and commented that the effect makes them look just how they look with make-up on. Some shared humorous responses, joking that if they looked like that in real life, they would go after their celebrity crushes.

While the discourse on the topic will continue, filters are rapidly gaining popularity with newer ones added on a consistent basis.
