BEAUTY

Every time someone with a perfectly functional nose gets a nose job, they throw away what they inherited from numerous generations of people who helped create them. "Sorry mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, great-grandparents and everyone else who I am made of. Your shit's ugly."

Every unique variation in the human phenotype sliced away and morphed into something totally generic. Brainwashing and pressure to look like one of four celebrities in the world.

There is no reason for vanity surgeries to exist. A commercialized and bastardized subset of plastic surgery, the key distinction being that although there are many forms of plastic surgery that helps to restore functionality and quality of life to people who have experienced serious damage or deformation, vanity surgeries hack away at perfectly functional people for no reason.

Vanity surgeries do not restore function. They do not enhance function. All they do is turn people into walking memes whose looks will likely go out of fashion within five years. But unlike clothes, makeups, and behaviors, many vanity surgeries are irreversible. If wearing skinny jeans becomes cringe and unfashionable, all anyone has to do is not wear them. But once someone gets surgery to obtain the face of a blowup doll, they are stuck with that. There is no going back. Reversing it will still not restore their face to what it used to be.

But even if a surgery were reversible, putting unnecessary stress onto the body just to chase after a look that will very quickly go out of style is nothing aside from cucking yourself. Surgery is not magic. They still have to open a body up and stitch it back together. Sometimes pinching nerves and shit.

In many cases they cripple whoever went under the knife. See: that shit where a vanity surgeon shaves down the bones in a victim's face to slim down their jawlines so that they can look like an anime character or whatever (mentoplasty). And then they wake up with permanent nerve damage.

A moment of silence for everyone who went under the knife to chase the look of a meme, only to wake up with unending lifelong pain due to nerve damage.

And describing these looks as memes is no exaggeration. The looks that these people chase do not last forever. They come and go as easily as fashion trends do. In the 2000s up into the 2010s, the "ideal" look was either skinny ana-chan with a thighgap, or skinny bimbo with huge knockers and a thighgap. That time has largely passed. As of the 2020s, the hot new look is "fat thiccccc goddess". And that, too, may become obsolete within a decade.

In other words, someone at the age of 18 could go under the knife and be morphed into a meme, only for that look to be completely obsolete (if not just a punchline) by the time they are 28. Maybe even sooner.

A decade may sound like a long time, but it isn't when the average human has a natural life expectancy of about 80 years. And what will all that "work" look like at the age of 50, 60, or 70? Do they have the willpower to just quit and live the rest of their lives with what they have? Or will they chase after surgery after surgery, attempting to look like a 20 year old forever? Those who attempt to chase after eternal youth via surgery will fail and instead it will make them look like mannequins that were left out in the hot sun for too long.

No one lives forever. No one can look 18 years old forever. Stop trying to look like a child when you're in your motherfucking 40s and just age gracefully like a real adult. Stop trying to surgically become a copy of whatever 4 celebrities are in every Marvel movie.
