What are people doing to their faces?!

Frankly, while you're entitled to an opinion, they are also entitled to an opinion. It's their bodies. Their choice. They like it.

The only person who getting upset about it is you, and it isn't your business.

This is the millionth thread I’ve seen putting women down for their aesthetic choices under the guise of concern.

The OP is entitled to post a thread on it. You’re not the arbiter

Speak out? Lol. Speak out against people looking how they want to look?

And op is clearly upset. Enough so to make an entire thread. What other words would you prefer? Perturbed? Distressed? Hysterical? Traumatized? All rather hyperbolic in comparison but not necessarily inaccurate either.

What other women look like, wether that be filler, hair dye, peircings, tattoos, fat, thin, boob job, short skirts or other clothing choices, doesn't matter a dot to me. So I'm not starting threads about it, desperately trying to find other judgey mares to snort at other women with. I don't feel the need to have my opinions validated by others. I don't need to put other women down. I don't need to busy body in something which, frankly, is optional. Nobody is expecting you to get filler or Botox if you don't like it. I don't go around saying 'urgh, look at that woman with wissened little prune lips! She desperately needs some filler to look normal!' because it would be a twatty thing to say. The same can't be said for those who are sanctimonious about women doing anything to xosmetically alter their appearance, they can't resist sticking their opinion in when it has no effect on their life and no effect on them. These thoughts about others are often also rooted in deep misogyny, these threads reinforce the notion that women's bodies are open to critique and criticism. Posters will often express disgust and say how terrible it looks but then go on to suggest that it makes them or other women feel inadequate. These two statements are contradictory, which means neither argument against is is a particularly good one. Often these type of argument only masquerade as concern, when in reality they come from a place of hatred for other women for simply existing and making choices that do not have any bearing on your life, but do not affirm or align with your own set of beliefs. This is prejudice.

There are so many artistic creative ways one could enhance or decorate one’s face if you had a mind to. But the blown up lips and frozen faces just make women look like sex dolls and that’s offensive to all women. Reinforcing their status as sex objects. It’s embarrassing ugly and very sad.

And you don't pull them up on being so derogatory? Do they come out with the shit about women smelling bad if they have sexual partners and wizards sleeves? It all comes from the same agenda of policing women's behaviour. While paying for only fans/chasing women who do have work done.

Let's face it! There's a classist element to putting down some chosen looks. Although I remember feeling sad when Marnie Simpson (Geordie Shore) had work done, she was naturally beautiful, just didn't have the sex doll look going on. It was after she went on Big Brother, alongside women who did have a lot of work done.

Speak out? Lol. Speak out against people looking how they want to look?

No woman who sports this look grew up in a beautiful victorian house in islington or hampstead, had a dad who was a history of art lecturer and a mum who was a psychologist, read politics at oxford etc.

It is a look closely associated with the group of women who have always been sneered at for their vulgar aesthetic preferences, whether that’s overfilled lips, orange tans, revealing clothes or grey crushed velvet sofas.

So on that level I’m a bit wary of the amount of “concern” directed at these women, on here and elsewhere. Some of it comes across as cloaked snobbery (not the OP, to be clear!).

At the same time… I can’t deny I find this trend utterly disheartening from a feminist perspective.

I think the young women these days are going to look back on photos of themselves in years to come and cringe far more than previous generations have done at past photos of themselves.
They are often making permanent changes to their face and are absolutely wasting their youthful looks. A lot of the girls in their 20s look like they are women in their 50s with overdone plastic surgery.
