When your mouth is 60% lip filler by volume.
This is how I read it initially
This is much funnier
We shouldn’t judge people for doing things to themselves that makes them happy. If someone wants Botox who are you to judge.
People with such a disphoria most likely won’t be happy after such a dangerous injection of a neurotoxin. Probably even the opposite and leading to more and more “corrections”. yet the actual self will never align with the self one imagines one has to be. A downward spiral OR maybe, if lucky, a botched experiment never to be repeated.
So, all I, personally, can see in those people is the sadness or even true despair. Surely not beauty. Not in the slightest. At best I see beauty in their public display of insecurity or weakness.
And besides that: people form prejudgment all the time about everything, and it’s a great evolutionarily trait that gave us an edge up to this day. Being able to deduct something based on the thinnest of evidence. And further strengthening or weakening this judgment by gathering additional evidence over time. This is NOT an inherently bad thing by itself. It becomes a bad thing if people stick to their initial prejudgment and could never be taught better. May it be out of ignorance, apathy or sheer stupidity. Then prejudice is the actual bad thing that this word always seem to connotate.
So according to you, gender affirming surgeries do not lead to relief?

They can do whatever the hell they want, but so can I. And what I want to do is point and laugh.
exactly, it’s bodily autonomy at the end of the day
hot take, but bodily autonomy also includes things you (or i) disapprove of!
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.
enabling someone’s disorders isnt a good thing
Of all the stuff people do for cosmetic reasons, I think I will never get poisoning your face muscles with a deadly neurotoxin.
It’s an effective migraine treatment
Indeed. Also the picture is showing fillers or silicone. Botox is mostly harmless as it is gradually removed by the body. It paralyses muscles, which is why actors who use it can’t emote, but it does not cause the stung-by-a-bee look.
It is often used for migraines, neurological - muscular conditions, and for delicate surgery where you need a muscle to remain paralysed while it heals or during surgery.
In the face it can “blocks/disrupt/worsen the ability” of lymphnodes even years after the claim that its “gone”
Sadly research is just starting to keep up with the trend as the boom was starting before major research was done so how good or bad it is needs to be reevaluated
(got that from a documentation i forgot the name of…)
But people also do other stupid things for beauty and botox does not seem to direcly kill so idk
Whoa wait what
Botox was first made for migraines. Usually the injections are in the back of the neck.
Do injections to other body parts help with migraines too? Or just on the neck
Shots in the Jaw muscles can stop teeth clenching, which can lead to certain aches in the head, maybe not specifically migraines.
feels great on the dick though.
The Botox lips or just the Botox?
I need to know, quickly.
Scrotox is an unironically popular procedure (for your scrotum)
Another great punk band name. ©
Wth, why’d LTT redo this ad?
Why not indeed. Botox cox is a good name for a punk band.

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.
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.
Men do the same thing for men using steroids?
You’re acting like “they want to look good for themselves” only applies to women by calling out men.
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 🙃
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.
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)
