Man how do so mamy have horrifying lips? I'm generally against body shaming but lip and cheek surgeries make people look like straight up aliens.
I'm ok with body shaming as long as the thing being shamed is something that they intentionally did to themselves.
I'm conflicted in this: is having bad taste something one is born with?
Given the fact that all of the people with terrible taste seem to also be terrible people I'm inclined to think that it's probably more an emergent property of the philosophy.
Buccal fat removal will never not confound me!
Like you want to have gaunt cheeks? The one huge thing universally seen as unhealthy and a sign of advanced aging? And your willing to pay for it‽
Body shaming is about things that cannot be controlled.
They actively chose this. Shame away.
Is it still body shaming them when you're shaming them for choices they made?
While you were correct the thing people forget with these types of comparisons is that they would not continue to look like the before images even if they didn't get any work done.
A lot of these women are well past their 20s and while I don't think the result of their work is attractive however in the age of social media (or just regular media) it is better to look like this then to "look old" as a woman.
Many are in their 30s, some in their early 30s even. Most people have the first signs of aging come in their mid-late 30s, laugh lines, first few grey hairs, etc. It depends on the individual but ultimately most people will have minimal visual signs of age in their 30s. This isn't trying to hide aging, this is something else entirely
People are getting "preventive Botox" in their 20s now....
An old woman who looks her age can command respect, if she's used those years to earn respect. Which is not something any of these trans-mantis women have done.
Old women who look their age can be straight up hot. Tilda Swinton comes to mind.
Who are the freaks that are reinforcing this shit?
