    2, 3 & 4 are examples of what’s called “Mar-a-lago face” - really blatant plastic surgery to emphasize your ability to afford plastic surgery.

    Elites frequently engage in body-modification intense enough to look grotesque to others as a way of marking their status. Mayan and Hunnic cranial deformation and Chinese foot-binding are prominent other examples.

      God the orokin from warframe are getting more and more plausible as an outcome for humanity. (They can transfer their souls into new bodies, and eventually became masters of genetic engineering, making theselves fancy ugly af bodies for fashion purposes. Notably, blue skin, very tall and large, with a freakishly long right arm)

      I’m pretty sure Marge was just born with that face, but I get what you mean

        I have no idea if you’re being serious.

        Tbh I struggle with that myself sometimes.

        But mar-a-lago face is a real thing and while the first instinct is to recoil in horror at what these people have done to themselves, elites have a long history of this kind of extreme identity signalling. And I do think this phenomenon is best understood as part of that tradition.

          I used to call it real-housewife-face, because that seemed to be where the desire to do this to themselves started.

          But is does seem to overlap a lot with visitors or wanna be visitors to that Nazi bar down in Florida.

      Laura Loomer. It was late when I was making this and they all kinda look the same. I had to go back and makes sure 2 and 4 weren’t the same person accidentally.

      She’s only 32. Looks like some serial killer flesh mask. She a disgusting human inside and out.

        Fun fact! The kid in the MAGA hat is in a concentration camp.

        (I have zero idea who either of these people are, but I think the odds I’m still correct are in my favour)
