Like… I’m not one to yuck someone’s yum - and at 42 I’ve certainly had work done, but it’s not as much about insulting looks as a psychological study into the bizarre influences and self hate impacting the high profile MAGA women. It shows how little autonomy they really hold.

None of those women (while extremely evil) would have been considered conventionally unattractive before surgery, fillers, Botox, hair bleaching and dying, micro blading, etc. But they felt the need to fall into a very exacting standard that doesn’t even align with overall American fashion trends

There’s obviously a fucking lot to unpack there and I’m not a psychologist or sociologist.

I'm not against gender affirming surgery

I don't like shaming people for their appearance

society has enough women judged on how they look instead of who they are

but I will say this;

the right is a cult of hate where nobody is ever good enough

the right wing men that are driving right wing women's insecurities prefer women (very) young and don't bother to craft roles for older women in society (if any women)

now perhaps these women chose these looks, perhaps they are happy, and if so I am happy for them. its their politics that disgusts me

but western beauty standards was already veering into blonde-haired blue-eyed pale-skinned Nazi stuff

watching it become so strong within right wing culture troubles me deeply

its easy to go after the women, society trains us to do so instead of holding men accountable

lets attack male standards not the victims

and lets have room for people to have a bit of surgery without someone finding the worst after photo and going to town on them

@normjess @hacks4pancakes I'm not against gender-affirming surgery, and I'm 100% against judging people for their looks. But what gender is this affirming? MAGA? This is uncanny valley stuff -- more so, in a way, than some of the animalistic body mods (like Dennis Avner). I am terminally face blind, but even I'm disturbed by these comparisons. Loomer, particularly, reminds me of Kane Pixels's The Rolling Giant. What does this achieve for them? What was the thought process?
