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.

@hacks4pancakes thanks for this, i was having similar thoughts without finding a good way to summarise them!
@axx it’s deeply disturbing in a Stepford or AI girlfriend way.

@hacks4pancakes @axx They honestly look kinda freaky. Like some sort of weird Dr. Who villains.

"Attractive" is a subjective thing, but in the before pictures they looked human.

@lyda @hacks4pancakes I broadly agree with you, but as Lesley was saying: lots to unpack here.

Why are these (and many more) attracted to looking like this? Are they even attracted to it?

@axx @hacks4pancakes I ask that for lots of things. My theory is that it's a status symbol. They have enough money to spend on it.
@lyda @axx status symbol of identical elective surgery is a wild twist.

@hacks4pancakes @axx My mom emigrated from Ireland at 21. She did a stint as a high school nurse when I was little - kind of doing reconnaissance to figure American schools/teens out since she was about to have one.

Her take was that teenagers were conservative. They wanted to do what everyone else did. I think there's a lot to that - beyond just teens.

For folks who value status, they also value conformity. Status only exists by comparing.

@lyda
I love your idea: rich people need conformity (if i dotted it fairly.)

If teenagers do not know how to position, they grip status.
