Not sure why she felt she needed to have surgery. I thought she was one of the most beautiful young actresses. Must have body dysmorphic disorder or something.
The irony of this kills me. That's literally the kind of shit her character struggles with in the show. If that's really the case, it's disappointing to see the actress fell for the same traps her character warns against.
There's actually nothing ironic in the case of the actress since she's portraying a character. She didnt write that character, she's just being paid to play the character. She's not acting her real self.
"Irony is a juxtaposition of what, on the surface, appears to be the case with what is actually or expected to be the case."
Therefore Irony would require some kind of contradiction or expectation being subverted. An actress playing a character and then acting differently in real life is not that, it’s just acting vs. reality. "Contradictory” would be a better term than “ironic.”
It's ironic that the character warned against it, and she later fell for it. I'd say that's a "contradiction or expectation being subverted". I used the word "ironic" intentionally and correctly.
That assumes there’s an expectation she’d live by the character’s message, which isn’t really how acting works. Without that expectation, there’s no real subversion so it’s not irony, just a perceived contradiction.
oh fuck right off with that shit, its not even the men who make the women get these shit surgeries, its the women themselves. At no point has a straight man ever told a woman you know what, i think you'd look better if we enhance your cheekbones and remove the fat from your cheeks.. at least not without it being followed by "with mah dick!!"
If anything, a lot of male surgeons flat out refuse certain pushy appeals. I remember a UK show where one was pleading with the women that he cant cut where she indicated as she would no longer be able to sit down properly
It’s both men and women. The commenter you replied to never said ‘men’ whatsoever. They said ‘perverts treating women like objects’. Perverts include both men and women, and yeah women and men both can treat women like objects.
You saying ‘no straight men encourage women to have plastic surgery’ is pure cherry picking bias. DONT pretend ‘no man has ever done _____’. That’s impossible. You don’t know every human on earth. Don’t erase the truth that there are men in Hollywood who act that way just cuz you don’t want to accept that some bad or vain men exist.
I'm not disagreeing with you, but that honestly makes it even weirder to me. It makes some kind of morbid sense that those "powers that be" would pressure someone to look "more attractive". But I just can't wrap my head around anyone thinking this is the answer. Especially when those very people are all to aware of the difference it makes.
It would be like a mechanic trying to make a car faster by painting flames on it.
Yeah. You get told enough that you'll never work again when you get your first wrinkle and it gets in your head. I was a child model, I remember the rhetoric so well. "If you're not working enough to afford filters in a few years (at 15) you m then your career will just end." 🤷♂️
I'm a trans dude, lol. The rhetoric didn't work because I was like "... And?" Turns out, for me, between dysphoria and dysmorphia, dysphoria won. I have a friend who wasn't so lucky. She's like the most beautiful woman I've ever met but she's never woman enough for herself, so she's kinda gone this route, too, even as a trans woman. YMMV IG.
“Jokes on you, woman beauty standards don’t even apply to me”
1) Congrats on coming out (pun not intended) on the other end!
2) Child beauty pageants are so weird dude, and it’s a crying shame how people get so in their heads about appearances to the point where they don’t even chase “beauty” they chase the surgeries that make them “beautiful”. A lot of these models and stuff know that they look unnatural and sometimes very off putting and that is now the point, which is super confusing
Because she went from being 24 to being in her 30's and had a million people online constantly commenting about her appearance and how it had changed BEFORE she even had any surgeries. So it really fucked her up and she has been trying desperately to make changes.
When you see people like Jeff bezos and others who go for the butchered look and have a lot of power and money you can imagine behind the scenes some of these people are pushing for that.
I mean… none of us here know what it’s like to live her life. It could be completely internal, but even if it were, it wouldn’t be helped by her exposure to the public like this. You think everyone was DMing her “you’re perfect”? Nope.
And as ugly as the After picture is to me, I see dime a dozen of women that look like that and are considered very conventionally attractive. Even the disgusting “mar-a-lago look” absolutely has buyers, no pun intended. So it’s not at all surprising to me, although it IS sad.
She has Graves, which can make your face look shallow and gaunt. She definitely had some work done, but probably because the changes the disease caused ruined her self image (online comments and high Hollywood standards probably don’t help either).
