So 2/2 comments on this post so far are judging women for getting Botox. I wonder how many more men are going to weigh in on this.
bruh the only people I ever see randomly accusing women of getting cosmetic surgery are other women.
That may be true in your personal experience but just look at the comments in question. The way they’re worded just screams man. The sort of judgemental comment where they think they’re being supportive or some shit but just come off condescending, completely ignoring their male privilege.
Yeah you have a point, women are more “I bet she got plastic surgery” whereas men are more “She looked better without plastic surgery”.
To me, it’s the pervasive assumption that people get surgery for the people looking at them. That and they really don’t care that chuds on the internet wish for them to be “natural.”
Exactly. They do it for themselves. If you’re not going to be supportive of their decisions, don’t say anything at all. Lemmy is awesome, for the most part, but it leans heavily male and is often not a terribly welcoming place for women. I’ve given up trying to explain these things in a tone that won’t get downvoted, so I’m just blunt instead and accept the downvotes.
Be like the lady in the meme. Say what you want bc you want to say it. Never think about downvotes. Mostly bc they don’t matter but more importantly, you’ve seen what those kinds of people upvote.
and yet the post making fun of deadbeat dads has all sorts of comments saying it’s an unfair stereotype and accusing the person making it of being a stuck up manhater 🙃
It’s not the getting Botox that is bad, it’s getting it done right that is hard.
Eh. Most often you’ll notice bad work with fillers and other surgeries. “Botox” is code for “women getting work done that I as a man on the internet don’t like.” (Not that you’re doing that)
We shouldn’t judge people for doing things to themselves that makes them happy. If someone wants Botox who are you to judge.
enabling someone’s disorders isnt a good thing
It’s one thing to try and be beautiful, say by putting on makeup. It’s another entirely to worship beauty so much that you inject a deadly neurotoxin into your face (often with disastrous results) for it. And this is often done by actors, literally people paid in large part for their existing beauty.
It making them happy (which I doubt) doesn’t mean it’s safe, and doesn’t mean that they have good values.
This is much funnier
This is how I read it initially
It’s sad to see young and old women like this. Being natural yourself worth more.\
It usually looks terrible. Saw the “legit snack” that is Kristen Bell on Hot Ones and it just made me sad seeing what she had done to her face.
if that were true she wouldn’t have felt the need to change who she was
People do things for themselves most of the time.
