Everywhere online now, every movie, every home video, has been passed through so many filters that people don’t look human any more. Nobody has any lines in their face, their teeth are florescent white, their eyes are filled in and have no veins. Nobody ever looks tired, or natural. Add to the mix the fact that everyone is getting lip implants to look like a blowfish, and I’m just tired of it. I miss seeing real human beings.
Duck lips are so disgusting. I just want to shake a bottle of Benadryl at them and ask if they are having an allergic reaction or something.
“Did you get stung by a bee? You might want to see a doctor about that.”
Plastic surgery is intended to make you look beautiful, not ugly. Are we in opposite world???
It’s just meant to mark you as high status.
Being part of that elite group has social and material benefits, so there’s plenty of reason for people employ these kind of identity markers. Elite groups often have onerous behavior or other requirements - body modification like plastic surgery is quite common. Cranial deformation, foot binding, etc.
There’s an actress in Three Body Problem who is completely distracting because of all her plastic surgery, makeup, and filters. She’s supposed to be a doctorate of physics, but she looks like a TikTok influencer. Every scene with her destroyed any immersion that the scenes without her had established.
You think doctors don’t get plastic surgery?
Have you seen the show or are you just trying to play devil’s advocate?
I don’t know anything about her. But I don’t think I’d assume she has gone as far as you are saying. I think her trout mouth is natural.
Prove me wrong lemmy!
She’s had multiple plastic surgeries. You can Google it to verify.
huh! I guess I’m one of the rubes who can be fooled then!
Well, I wouldn’t say that plastic surgery is intended to make you look beautiful. It’s intended to alter your looks in the way that you prefer. All that matters is that the person getting it done is happy with the result. Not some other random person who isn’t them.
Also, beauty standards change a lot. Just look at how fashion changed from the middle ages through the Renaissance and after. You can tell what features were important by how garments were designed.
I’m not a fan of duck lips either, but I also don’t have to get them.
