Media Tropes I hate the normalization of plastic surgery.
I know plastic surgery has been a thing for a long time, but I’ve noticed how plastic surgery marketing has cleverly shifted its advertisement to kind of a “female empowerment” thing, like a “do what you want with your body” type bullshit. And I see girls my age fantasizing and shit about getting surgery like it’s as normal as going to the fucking hair salon
‘Most’ people who get plastic surgery get it to make their face more aesthetically pleasing, but I do acknowledge deformed people who need their face fixed because of a freak accident or medical condition,
anyways I still think getting plastic surgery is conforming to the patriarchy by changing your natural features into something that is more socially admired, and all these dumbasses acting like it’s female empowerment when the main reason for plastic surgery is because your insecure and you don’t fit the societal norms for beauty. And it also infuriates me that plastic surgery on my fyp is targeted towards young girls like me which is absolutely sick. And I’ve noticed on tv that they try to advertise Botox like it’s some fucking medical treatment.
I miss when plastic surgery had a bad reputation. And when I try to say something about it people say some bullshit like “Let women do what they want with their bodies😕” or “ Let women breath 😣!!” It’s conforming to the patriarchy behind progressivism
