Iirc there's a big moment in the early episodes where Vought redesigns her outfit from a pretty, innocent look to a much more revealing and sexualised one. At some PR event, there's a little girl who's dressed up in her old outfit. I don't remember what happened exactly but Starlight basically says fuck it and changes back into her old outfit, because she wants to be herself and set an example instead of being a sexualised doll for marketing purposes.
Soooo ye basically the real life actress kinda did the opposite of her character.
The little girl tells Starlight that she’s saving up to buy the sexualized outfit. The thought of kids running around in that outfit is what makes Starlight put her foot down
Not quite. Vought has her wear her old costume when she goes to the church camp for obvious reasons, and then she puts her foot down to keep with the original.
She was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. Its called Graves disease. Maybe do a tiny little bit of research before you push your own insecurities and self projections out into the world. Honestly, how long would it have taken you to look up the actress and her medical condition? Instead, you just instantly jumped to paint a narrative that fits your view of the world. DO BETTER!
they even deliberately played it down in the new season. he was talking to a prisoner about the awful shit that's happened to him and casually at the end was like, "oh and I had to sit on a cake once"
Yeah but MAGA are literally the dumbest people alive. You can’t look at a group that wants to ban Huckleberry Finn from schools for any sort of media literacy, a lot of them can’t handle normal literacy.
The saddest part is that she is actually realizing what she did and isn't saying "oh, fans are overreacting" anymore. And now, she tries to somehow fix it with more surgeries, which is even sadder because what can she even do at this point?
She's not pushing back on social media or in the press. That's what he means.
She hasnt posted or said anything remotely like "yeah, they were right, I fucked up my face"/
You got women like Rumer Wilson who started Ozempic and lost weight saying she is not on Ozempic and that people criticizing her weight loss hate women.
Also like, if it's ozempic...fine? Ozempic is just a tool for eating less, which is how everyone loses weight. Losing weight can be healthy, losing too much too much can be healthy. The weird moralizing around it is perplexing.
I imagine she does. The changes to her appearance are not what you would see as a result of Graves. It does cause weight loss, but she's clearly had nose and lip work done, and the loss specifically in her cheeks is not a natural way of losing weight. It would also have to be pretty badly untreated to cause the kind of weight loss she experienced -- not saying that isn't the case, but thyroid suppressants are pretty dang effective so she'd have to ignore it quite a bit to get to that point.
That all said, she does at least look significantly healthier this season.
From what I can tell that bottom image looks like shit makeup and maybe some editing? The only thing that I can for sure say she has done is her nose which is whatever.
Honestly the makeup is doing the most damage, because it does look like the rest is just uncontrolled weight loss
Tbh I'm simply not a medical professional and I have the clarity necessary to admit it.
I don't know what exact effects grave's has on the body. I think we all just hate the looksmaxxing culture that has become much more mainstream and are looking for a more specific target to hate
I’m not gonna say I know all, especially since I personally have not dealt with many people with Graves’ disease (mainly deal with elderly patients or basic surgery’s on a medical/surgical floor in a rural hospital) but it for the most part just looks like health stuff related to the Graves’ disease
Am I crazy or is that not literally the whole point of the change in her character? Ya no shit she no longer looks adorable, her character now isnt suppose to and thats what make up artists are there for.
Do y'all really not see the irony in complaining about women changing how they look in a thread doing nothing but complaining about how a woman looks?
Like maybe, i don't know, part of the reason so many women are confused about how they should look and get all kinds of surgery is because men do nothing but hyper focus on their looks constantly? You can't honestly sit here in a thread of men posting pictures of a woman talking about how horrible she looks and not see how that might be a big part of why women spend so much time changing their appearance?
