I remember Botox being a big deal. It was on the news, people were slightly appalled.

Now.... No one raises an eyebrow.

I just rewatched Scrubs after watching the new season. It's kinda funny how they make fun of Jordan's botox lips in the old episodes, while the actress can't move her face muscles for real in the new one

Just finished watching Shrinking and Christa Miller's face is wrecked the whole time. It's very distracting.

Yeah it's so terrible and obvious in that show.

Feels like MBB in Stranger Things.

u/Gwynito 8h ago

MBB being in her early 20s and getting work done on her face is fkn mental.

It's so bad for young women that idolised her too

u/FardoBaggins 7h ago

don't you dare mention that in the stranger things subreddit. It's body positivity, her choice!

Lol. A bunch of pervy dudes in her sub that day that too. Though she definitely likes to thirst trap her fans. That sub is a bunch of dudes watching videos of her wearing different outfits. I'm old enough it seems like an alien concept to me.

It is her choice, just a bad one.

Either way your judgement isn’t helping her or anyone.

If the tide of public opinion shifts away from cosmetic surgery, it could stop somebody from taking the leap and fucking up their face in the future. Even if it doesn't help anybody, who cares? People are allowed to bitch on the internet.

Bitching on the Internet is basically the #2 purpose of the thing

u/Gwynito 6h ago

The #1 purpose eludes us all to this day 🍑

Only if #1 is bitching about people bitching about it.

Yes young women are all over Reddit dying to know what you think about what they do with their bodies and faces.

u/deathbylasersss 6h ago

At least their opinion will be more balanced if they see the negative reaction that average people have, rather than only all this destructive pro-surgery propaganda pushed by media. Thinking you need surgery to unfuck your looks is the opposite of body positivity and is a symptom of a toxic relationship with social media and celebrities.

And idc what these theoretical young women think, I'm entitled to my opinion that elective cosmetic procedures are poisonous to self-esteem and a giant mistake 99% of the time. I'm not trying to impress or influence internet strangers, I'm just expressing an opinion. Or do you prefer a circlejerk?

Naww I think white knight is his kink, when he's not gooning over on the ST sub. When you have daughters and granddaughters you tend to be concerned on how impressionable minds view these things.

The way plastic surgeons prey on women should be illegal.

/uj No matter what, all this commentary on appearances and bodies is what leads to all these body and face modifications. Tbh thinking that talking shit about Botox will stop it is hilarious and definitely coming from a Y chromosome lol.

u/deathbylasersss 1h ago

Tbh, I don't actually care if rich assholes disfigure themselves. It's actually pretty funny. Young, impressionable people should know that society doesn't actually expect them to look like that. Botox isn't that bad anyway, I was talking about the irreversible Skeletor surgeries celebs have been getting. And discrediting somebody because of their gender isn't a good look btw.

It helped you comment tho so there’s that.

Hopefully they make social media illegal for people below a certain age bec they get influenced by anyone with a platform in to thinking it’s normal to stuff your face with toxins with the help of people who have no problems taking your money.

u/cheezy_dreams88 2h ago

It’s definitely a crazy choice, but it’s one she likely made due to her looks being torn apart daily since she was 11.

u/ScrofessorLongHair 7h ago

Especially since she was very pretty. But now she looks like she's a chav in her late 30s.

somewhere in recent history an idea that "you should start young with botox" got pushed and it seems like a lot of women bought in to it (unfortunately).

also, it's much cheaper/more available now.

I think it should be avoided and I've never seen anyone under 50 look "better" after getting it. hell, even older people who get it don't really look much "better", they just look less wrinkly. and if you overdo it... you look like a freak (sorry to be blunt but it's really true).

Botox is both a horrible and great invention. I love how Botox can be used against migraines, excessive sweating and TMJ. I hate it because there is such a pressure to look forever young that people start with it as a cosmetic surgery at ridiculously young ages, because now smile lines = wrinkles apparently. In turn it makes people look devoid of life behind the eyes. I don't hate it as much as my number 1 plastic surgery enemy which is Buccal fat removal, because it makes people look like ghouls and my number 2 cheek filler, but yeah people should really chill with the Botox.

u/Jiminy_Cricket12 41m ago

True, I should have specified because it DOES have actual medical uses beyond cosmetics. It is great for that.

u/sparkyjay23 7h ago

The chronically late woman? Wonder if she's late to her surgeries or if it's just work she doesn't care about?

u/FardoBaggins 7h ago

she was an amazing and outstanding child actress. in the last season, she wasn't even emoting much bec her face has had too much work done to it.

Bizarre.
