Questions: Society & Politics

Beauty cannot be judged objectively, for what one person finds beautiful or admirable may not appeal to another. Cause, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

Do you agree with this quote or not? Why or why not?

I guess it's not just women with crazy doll and surgery obsessions.

He has had nearly 200, though could be more by now, surgeries totaling $250K.
Which include nose jobs, cheek implants, pec implants, ab implants, facial chiseling, etc.

Do you like this look? Did he go overboard? Is he the perfect man? Or even ideal? Would you date him? Did he look better before surgery?

Living Ken and Barbie Doll:

Here's his before and after

Aside from her odd thoughts. Like not needing to eat because she can get energy from photosynthesis or breathing? . .

She has had numerous surgeries (in case that wasn't obvious enough). Such as breast implants, rib removal, facial chiseling and others, etc.

Do you think she's beautiful? Was she more beautiful without surgery? Is this even "ideal" for humans? Would you date her?



Here's a before and after:

I find that white people get indignant at the thought of this. Mainly white men.

I guess you *feel* it more if you're not white:
-Growing up and having relatives or friends actually pour honey into their dark brown eyes in hopes of making them lighter.
-Having friends buy skin lightening soaps, creams, lotions, etc.
-Seeing friends straighten their beautiful afros or extremely textured/kinky hair.
-Being told "you're pretty for a Mexican/black/Asian girl."
-Hearing people say "oh to find a white girl with a black girl booty".
-Seeing petty fights with the "#teamlightskin vs #teamdarkskin".
-Attractive black girls always being asked if they're mixed.
-Relatives being happy you're with a white person because they can pass "nice hair, nice eyes" or other "good genes".
-Having trends idolized if taken by white women yet shaming non white women for the same features/styles. (I'm on the fence on this one).
-Not seeing "dark" women/men in the media. (when they do show black/Latinos/Asians, they tend to be "white girls dipped in chocolate" or "whitewashed")
-In nearly all novelas, it's mostly white or very light skin Latinos. There's nothing wrong with that, but that's not the majority of Latinos. We can be very dark, tan, or very white. Also, when there are dark skin actors, they are often depicted as poor, unwanted, "ugly", mean, the antagonists.

This isn't meant to offend. It is becoming less and less of an issue, but it's still there. I know some of y'all will just roll your eyes at the mere title of this and say "shut up stupid ugly dark skin girl, face it. White women are superior". Or something like that. But I'd still like to hear y'alls thoughts. And non whites any similar experiences?
