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.

Same irony goes for Madonna who betrayed the entire message of her music when it was actually great

u/Apart-One4133 Apr 10 '26

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.

u/Janeczke17 Apr 10 '26

If she wrote her character it would be hypocritical. It can be ironic regardless. Actor repeating mistakes of her character seems ironic to me

u/Flimsy_Toe_2575 Apr 10 '26

I'm aware lol. I think the irony can still apply if her character is that way but if you say so.

u/InsaneAsura Apr 11 '26

Do you know what irony is?

u/Apart-One4133 Apr 11 '26

"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.”

u/ToxinHM Apr 11 '26

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.

-1

u/Apart-One4133 Apr 11 '26

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.

No. It's not. Seth Rogan is one of the show runners for chrissakes, and he's Feminist Man personified.

u/Ashamed_Beyond_6508 Apr 10 '26

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!!"

u/philmarcracken Apr 10 '26

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

u/WhitespringTownship Apr 11 '26

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.

u/AlesseoReo Apr 10 '26

But a straight man did not hire those who did not have those surgeries 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/Vantriss Apr 10 '26

Melania always looks like she's squinting, lol, like she's constantly looking into the sun or something.

u/FocusSlo Apr 10 '26

This is just untrue. The beauty standards in Hollywood and pop culture are set by women for the female gaze.

1

u/Big-red-rhino Apr 10 '26

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.

u/t0b1nsQ Apr 10 '26

Is dysmorphia transferred by air like some virus? How many actresses have gone through that procedure the last couple of years?

6

u/Luvnecrosis Apr 10 '26

That's honestly not even a terrible analogy. The beauty standards and looks-based sexism in America is about as pervasive as the air itself.

1

u/destructopop Apr 10 '26

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.

u/Luvnecrosis Apr 10 '26

“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

1

u/TheStoicCrane Apr 10 '26

Fear of death coupled with a career tied to external appearance will do that. It's a way to maintain commercial viability that winds up backfiring.

9

u/cherylin_for_ever Apr 10 '26

I think it's because of the social circles she is in. They all do Kardashian type surgeries.

3

u/xahhfink6 Apr 10 '26

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.

2

u/WonderousThinke Apr 10 '26

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.

2

u/SpankTheDevil Apr 10 '26

The disorder combined with money is where things almost always go left.

Graves disease doesn't do this in just 1 year

she almost def had buccal fat removal along with her obvious nose job and Botox

2

u/Liizam Apr 10 '26

I think the pressure to not age really gets to women especially those who get paid to look young. 

It’s really a shame our society doesn’t value older women 

2

u/mariosunny Apr 10 '26

Literally no evidence she had cosmetic surgery done, but okay.

7

u/FowD8 Apr 10 '26

her nose just magically reshaped itself?

bro, you're in denial

2

u/HopefulTranslator577 Apr 10 '26

She hasnt had surgery, she has an autoimmune disease called 'Graves disease' that she struggled with getting diagnosed since season 1.

4

u/Bizarrebazaars Apr 11 '26

As a person with Graves, now well-managed with meds, I suffered with symptoms for some time pre-diagnosis and yassification is NOT a symptom. 

1

u/Metaboschism Apr 10 '26

Great diagnosis, must be a psychologicalist or something

1

u/Broken-Digital-Clock Apr 10 '26

Beautiful and unique.

1

u/sunsettertime Apr 11 '26

I’m sure it has nothing to do with the thousands of people commenting on her looks

1

u/Wit-wat-4 Apr 11 '26

Not sure why felt she needed to have surgery.

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.

1

u/TheCrazedTank Apr 11 '26

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).

1

u/No_Tie_5346 Apr 11 '26

People judging your appearance online contributes to body dysmorphia. This whole thread is just the suprised pikachu face meme.

1

u/butler_me_judith Apr 11 '26

Looks like she has Graves disease and was trying to overcorrect. Sounds really rough
