I think I figured out part of why the word “ghoulish” kept coming to mind.
When the face is full of filler, the eyes become sunken in.
Just like a ghoul from fallout.
And then they all have small noses. And these too will sink in.
So ghoul.
The thing is, it’s almost impossible to have that filler removed. Plus it has stretched the skin. So removing it would make their face look like how the skin looks in an area of extreme weight loss. That’s kinda whatever on people who have lost weight/had babies , It is what it is.
But This will really mess up the face. It’s not natural.
The alternative is to keep adding more filler until the face is 5x thicker and the eyes are so far sunk behind bags of filled flesh that they look black and demonic.
Plus the filler is absorbed by the body, but at different rates. So in a few years it’s gonna be irregular and lumpy. Some people go to the extreme length of having glass microbeads mixed with the filler (this is illegal in the US) but those migrate around within the tissue. Once you start this shit, it’s just a constant Death Becomes Her maintenance operation to keep it from looking worse.
Or as they say in Ab Fab, “pretty soon you’re a just visitor in your own face.”
upvote for absolutely fabulous memory
I consider them ghoulish for their behavior.
and we already have a microplastic crisis jfc
We need a vault for MAGA “leadership”. Just think of the fun experiments
I’m thinking of those vault 88 experiments you do with the bike, the soda machine, and the slot machine. (I’m currently playing FO4. First time. it’s mostly polished and pretty fun. )
Recently saw a video from an ex-maga, ex-mormon woman who speaks about these people and it was specifically about this face. she said they look like that because they’re doing drag. i see it. it’s performative gender expression.
What interests me is that I’ve never once heard an actual explanation. “They’re doing drag” might be true in an analytical sense from an outside perspective. But it’s not the reason they do it.
One would assume the reason you start is because you’re encouraged to get some Botox and subtle touch-ups are a very beauty trend among women. But they all end up with very similar features and it’s always overdone. So there must be common pushes and pulls. I would just like to hear it in their own words what has led them to this.
It’s more that they do what drag typically mocks - that kind of hyper performance of feminine conformity. Classic drag has always been mocking the way that conservative women perform gender roles.
It’s supposed to look like they got work done, because it reflects their commitment to the idea that women should be always performing “woman.” Women are meant to be looked at by powerful men, and they are acceding to that understanding.
Again, I agree with you, you basically repeated and expanded on the point of the person I replied to. Like what you’re giving me is a good anthropological analysis.
But if you asked these women why/how they got to this point they would not say “well I’m just commiting to my performance of being a woman to appease the male gaze”
For one thing, most of them probably still hold agency to themselves despite the fact that it seems clear they are doing this to appease men. They would most likely have explanations for all their changes and who/what influenced them.
A terrifying probability is that these women literally get told by their spouses/others that if they don’t get these specific surgeries they won’t be able to do something. If it’s that then I would like to know who specifically tells them this and what they tell them.
I can say as someone who’s seen similar things in different groups it’s body dysmorphia. You focus on a flaw you want to fix enough to pay to get it fixed and it’s better, but if you don’t have discipline about it you’re prone to still see it. It’s similar to anorexia where they go from seeing fat that may or may not be there to seeing the torso bulge of having organs and thinking that it’s fat.
Then there’s social factors. If your social group has worries, well humans tend to echolocate reality off what those around us think and say, so you’re prone to the same worries and the same solutions.
It’s the right wing Christian Tradwife thing, isn’t it? They have to prove how very womanly they are, and how lucky their husband is to have such a womanly woman.
does she know doing drag doesn’t involve permanantly changing the look of your face, and its all makeup.
The evil manifests physically.
George Lucas tried to warn us
This is like in star wars when good people turn towards the dark side and their appearence turns into monsters.
Not for Anakin though, he is special and needs to look good to sell tickets.
I need to tell you about a thing about Anakin
I know but he has a helmet now, so… :)
It’s not a kink helmet, you are supposed to think it looks like a monster bro
mark this shit nsfl you sick fuck
Nsfl… not safe for life??
Yes
They were ok, can’t say they were supermodels but looked ok, however their transformation into a skinsuit is horrifying.
I wondered if those were MAGA ladies hitting menopause and thought their wrinkles would be out if control.
Everytime i see maga face i think of escape from LA
Or They Live.
The devolvement into MAGA degeneracy is so obvious
You can see them turn ugly, just like their ugly politics
And their ugly souls.
Great video from Life Take Two (ex-Mormon/MAGA woman) about this phenomenon and the reasons behind it. In short: it’s misogyny.
My partner recently started watching her videos and I saw this one. 100% accurate. She’s incredibly self-reflective and really hits a lot of things as they really are. Genuine brilliance wasted by both the Mormons and MAGA because of misogyny.
I grew up in what is now deep red Trump flag territory, and the District 1/12 level of “we’re the hyper-visual freaks focused on image and money, now send me donations, you filthy MAGA monkey!” is severe. Those people rarely see how genuinely grotesque many of these freaks are because it’s all podcasts and talk radio and Fox News, which blunts the extreme elements. Noem and Levitt might be the only two the average person would know, and they’ve only known their mutilated faces, not their real faces.
If you went to a Wal-Mart in any rural town with a game called “ID the MAGA Star!” and gave $100 to anyone able to correctly identify the names of all 6 pre-multination faces, and take $1 per guess, you could go there with no cash on you and leave loaded. I would bet that you’d get lots of totally unironic pushback that Loomer is trans.
I swear, even the porn industry seems less misogynistic than MAGA when it comes to pressure to change your body.
meh they did it to themselves.
A big thank you to the moderators of this community for the work you do.
I say this because, even not having read the contents of this thread yet, I know that there will have been plenty of instances where discussions get a bit too… spicy, potentially requiring moderator action. Enforcing the boundaries of civility is a tricky and often thankless task, but an important one. People are angry, and justifiably so. This makes it easy for threads to degrade into toxic chaos, so thanks for trying your best to stop or slow the decline of this thread.
Most of them look like dudes in unconvincing drag.
The mask used in Halloween for the Michael Myers character was the face of William Shatner (Shatner apparently didn’t know for many years). They made it creepier by bleaching it or painting it or whatever.
Future Halloween movies, or some competing franchise, can use masks of these people. No modifications needed. In fact, maybe let’s tone it down because we want to make a scary movie, not traumatize everyone.
The one in the upper left already looks like one of the masks from the Purge movie. Down to the plasticky shine.
Top left, bottom left, bottom right, middle right. They look like they’re wearing someone else’s face. It’s the dead eyes and the area around the jaws that really screams “It put the lotion on the skin.” Top left, the after, I swear I’ve seen that exact look/expression in a horror video game, I just can’t place it.
Top left just looks like actual Jigsaw to me.
What is with these people. Have they headbutt bees nest?
These images need saving for prosperity just in case future generations doubt the craziness of the MAGA loons.
They look like jigsaw killer!

Did you mean to swap accounts?
I’m confused what this was supposed to achieve.
I have a feeling that this is an AI elitist trying to make fun of evil Luddites wanting to stop him from
polluting the earth and the internet with AI generated garbageto make fun and creative images from simple text prompts.He is trying to make it seem like people who protest against AI use alt accounts and “actually 99% of the population is ok with it.”

Really?
in 200 years we’ll be looking at this and be “how did they find this beautiful ?? (we didn’t) No wonder they fucked up earth.”
