    I think I figured out part of why the word “ghoulish” kept coming to mind.

    When the face is full of filler, the eyes become sunken in.

    Just like a ghoul from fallout.

    And then they all have small noses. And these too will sink in.

    So ghoul.

    The thing is, it’s almost impossible to have that filler removed. Plus it has stretched the skin. So removing it would make their face look like how the skin looks in an area of extreme weight loss. That’s kinda whatever on people who have lost weight/had babies , It is what it is.

    But This will really mess up the face. It’s not natural.

    The alternative is to keep adding more filler until the face is 5x thicker and the eyes are so far sunk behind bags of filled flesh that they look black and demonic.

      Plus the filler is absorbed by the body, but at different rates. So in a few years it’s gonna be irregular and lumpy. Some people go to the extreme length of having glass microbeads mixed with the filler (this is illegal in the US) but those migrate around within the tissue. Once you start this shit, it’s just a constant Death Becomes Her maintenance operation to keep it from looking worse.

      Or as they say in Ab Fab, “pretty soon you’re a just visitor in your own face.”

    Recently saw a video from an ex-maga, ex-mormon woman who speaks about these people and it was specifically about this face. she said they look like that because they’re doing drag. i see it. it’s performative gender expression.

      What interests me is that I’ve never once heard an actual explanation. “They’re doing drag” might be true in an analytical sense from an outside perspective. But it’s not the reason they do it.

      One would assume the reason you start is because you’re encouraged to get some Botox and subtle touch-ups are a very beauty trend among women. But they all end up with very similar features and it’s always overdone. So there must be common pushes and pulls. I would just like to hear it in their own words what has led them to this.

    What is with these people. Have they headbutt bees nest?

    These images need saving for prosperity just in case future generations doubt the craziness of the MAGA loons.

      Well, tbf demonstrating that the rules don’t apply to the in-group is part of fascism. It’s kinda funny that they’re this committed to the bit though, they look like absolute freakish ghouls now and will never be the same.
