Because the cosmetics industry spends billions of dollars a year yelling at women that they aren't good enough.
They're working the same bullshit on boys too (publicly) for the last 20 years.
I mean, it's been going on far longer than 20 years. It's just been more directly relatable to how women's appearances have been critiqued since 'metrosexuality' was a trend a couple decades ago.
Yes. I specifically mention 20 years because that is roughly where Neutrogena said at a shareholder meeting that their goal was to addict boys and men to their products like they have to girls and women.
the thing is, those ppl have seen others with mar-a-lago face. it's uncanny. still they do it. they are like "i wanna look bad and unnatural". we have to accept that. their body; their choice.
I thought it was relatively well known that you’re mostly only noticing people that either have went too far or didn’t respond well to whatever treatment.
The thing is that the majority mostly fall under two categories; ones that look natural to the person and you don’t notice them or things that the viewer might not find attractive but the person wanted.
Ie a rhinoplasty to change the side profile of your face via straightening your nose, while maintaining a similar frontal profile.
Vs
A rhinoplasty to create a pinched in upturned nose similar to a bratz doll
Both are rhinoplasty, but achieve quite different goals. Im just saying it’s complex.
if you have seen the person before, you will always notice and it will be uncanny. you can even notice just botox as soon as a person speaks and it's weird.
but it's also a matter of taste, like a piercing, for example. some ppl will be like "nooo, what did you do to your perfect face" and others will be like "i'm into that". the question is what ones priorities are. do they want to look well for others and if so, whom? or do they do it for themselves and it doesn't matter if others are weirded out.
also, depending on personal preference, "too far" is usually any change. it's hard to top thousands of years of human evolution. even a cute face with a medium size scar often looks good to most ppl; better even, than the outcome of reconstructive surgery.
That’s not right.
They are yelling at women that they aren’t good enough… unless they are waring their product. Oh if you use that other product you are just as ugly as you feel inside.
And then that gets hyper magnified through our little pocket black mirrors that most commonly destroy your attention span, thus ability to deeply consider any concept or do deep introspection, and it creates an incentive structure for people to turn themselves into superficial advertisement mascot people, which itself then becomes culturally normalized.
Is that why every brodude smells like tea-tree oil to high heaven now? Every nu-male must be drinking the same Faceslop and Instaslop trends
