i hate you plastic surgeons on social media who speculate about what work celebrities and influencers have had done. i hate you celebrities and influencers who pump their faces and bodies with fillers and/or get surgery after surgery, then proceed to lie about it all for years, crediting some bullshit weight loss tea or dumb workout routine or ‘holy grail’ beauty product. i hate you fashion brands who make their clothes to suit a very specific body type that only a small percent of people have and only carry a small range of sizes bc, fuck it, they feel like it.

i hate you diet companies for pushing unrealistic standards, promising unrealistic results, targeting mostly young women and girls, and just straight up lying to people in much of your advertising. i hate you social media (especially fucking instagram) for pushing a bullshit, unrealistic beauty standard and telling us that we all have to meet it or else we’re ugly and unlovable. i hate you “legging legs” and “body by ozempic” and “buccal fat removal” and “bbl body” and “heroin chic,” i hate you body type trends.

i hate you people who feel the fucking need to incessantly comment on the foods people eat and their body size and tell them that “that’s so unhealthy” as if they don’t already fucking know that!! just let them fucking enjoy their goddamn meal and feel comfortable in their own skin!!! it’s not that fucking hard!!! i hate you skincare companies that market your anti-aging products to teenage girls and women in their twenties. i hate you doctors who refuse to take women, trans people, people of color, fat people, and those who belong to two or more of those identities seriously when they come to you with their health issues.

i hate you politicians for turning something as simple as preferred pronouns into ammunition for your bullshit ideological warfare that you use to distract from the fact that many of your constituents can’t even afford to live and that, currently, you are working as hard as you possibly can to strip our rights away and set us back decades upon decades. i hate you news stations who would rather focus on celebrities and their lavish fashion and their lavish events and their lavish PR stunts than the genocides and geopolitical conflicts in Palestine, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Artsakh, etc.

#we all hate you #fuck social media #fuck celebrities #fuck politicians #fuck the news #fuck diet culture #fuck beauty standards

The fact that over 11% of people in the Worst American Foods poll are voting for superman icecream.... girl what the fuck did superman icecream ever do to you. YES the flavor profile is an artificial vanilla & cherry & lemon + raspberry + vanilla again. YES the color scheme looks like buccal fat taken from a clown.  that is the charm of it and if you don’t clap for her I’ll blow up this whole building

"I think it's to make women look like men so it's harder to clock them." My sister said the same thing and it's so fucking true. I don't think it's a scheme by the surgical industry tho, I think this shit all stems back to RuPaul's DragRace and normalising this idea that a REAL woman looks like a derogatory caricature of a woman as seen through the male gaze. Women have gigantic hips and corsetted miniature waists, gigantic eyes, gigantic accentuated cheek bones and chiselled jaws. Women's faces are slathered in make-up, to the point where it looks like stage make up. This styling and these ideas of what a desirable woman look like were then capitalised on and started being normalised back around 2014 by the likes of Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner (for the teens of that era), who perpetuated the idea for years that they NATURALLY looked like that, creating unreal beauty standards that women and young girls started to flock to and wanted to attain, feeling guilty and shameful that they couldn't look like that. Kim K who got famous off doing a porno - this is what so many women are aspiring to look like these days (and thus creating and unintentionally enforcing entirely unreal "beauty" standards on every woman and girl), either blow up sex dolls, or, as you said, as men dressing as women - both which are MALE ideas of what feminine beauty is. All these women leaning into these ideas, getting buccal fat removed and their entire face reshaped... They like to think they're all independent, powerful, "girlbosses" but they're under the spell of beauty standards that are arguably more fucked up and unrealistic than ever, and what I find even worse, is that they're promoting it to others. What a time to be alive.

You couldn't have said it better. This goes hard, I love it.

I looked up buccal fat ONCE because I didn't know what the FUCK it even was, and now my entire YouTube feed is just literal dozens upon dozens of video essays about who's getting it, why it's bad, how it started, etc.

Idk like I'm glad people are talking about how tiktok beauty shit like this is praying on girls but at the same time ... I went from not even knowing what buccal fat was to seeing it every time I look at the internet. Like... I don't think that is Good Either.
