Am I the only one who would find the woman at the left more attractive?

The right just looks like plastic to me, same with all of these instagram influencer ladies who have more plastic surgeries than I have fingers.

That's the joke.

This is a parody of twitter posts made by actual "anti DEI/woke" dipshits. The format is identical to their posts "fixing" modern female video game characters that don't look like sex dolls.

People can look however they would like, whether that's plastic or dust bowl struggle chic. What's wrong here is that an unrelated party has decided to change someone's appearance based on their own preferences.

Maybe it's because these generations of which I'm a part are struggling financially and will likely end up in the gutter due to crumbling support systems or because we're staring down the double barrel of the imminent repercussions of ignoring climate change and the reinforcing systemic barriers to overcome it, but I just learned that "dust bowl chic" (and consent, already known) really does it for me.

I think the rules are a little different when you decide to make your appearance the product. Instagram Models or models in general make themselves out to be an ideal and a image for other people, especially children to strive for. That makes criticism of them valid while if they were just going about their day, it wouldn't be. Doesn't help that the filters make these images impossible to achieve.

The woman on the left looks strong, determined and capable.

The woman on the right looks disingenuous, fake and somehow predatory.

With the right plastic surgeon you could have more fingers…

Yeah the woman on the right just looks like a psychopath
