The world of Instagram is so different now with the filtered, algorithmic feed. It feels like a strange, artificial place. Nothing is where it should be, up is down, and the ‘grams no longer feel like the candid snaps you once knew.
That being the case, people are currently losing their minds over whether a certain vaguely weird account is run by a real human or some kind of hellish 3D humanoid given sentience by a mad scientist.
Allow me to explain. This is “Miguela“. She has 69,000 followers, and she posts memes and selfies. Her selfies, however, well:
And this one, which looks like a screenshot from a shithouse 1999 adventure game:
Let’s just get one thing straight: of course these photos are not real. Of course she’s some weirdo 3D art project. That being said, if it were a real, Uncanny-Valley-ass human being, you’d feel a bit shit about your selfies being flooded with comments like “FAKE TBH” and “IS THIS REAL”.
Her feed and bio are full of shit about stopping the construction of an oil pipeline on Native American land in North Dakota, but I doubt it’s a campaign about that due to the sheer off-the-wall content. Though I might be wrong!
Some have speculated she’s just enhancing her looks with an image-editing program, but unless she’s keen on looking like a animation student’s interpretation of a cyberpunk sex doll then I don’t really know why that’d be the case.
Here’s something that’s definitely real: the internet is fucked and I loathe it.
