    Remember the good old days when we had entire generations of sexually frustrated young men who could easily be manipulated into doing violence?

      It's good for the stonks of the military industrial complex and therefore is good for the people with the capital to invest in the military industrial complex!

    How do i translate soldatische Männlichkeit? Warlike masculinity? Soldier's dudebroism? Anyway, it's this. Fascists want you to sublimate your sex drive into their death drive (nvm that sublimation is a doubtworthy concept to begin with, they think it works like this). They've been like that when they marched into Poland in 1939 and they haven't changed one bit since then.

        Its kinda how I feel. She's wearing a ton of glitter, she's wearing nylons (also plastic), and those ballet hose that make your skin shiny (also plastic), form fitting attire (likely synthetic elastane, polyurethane, and polyester, all plastic), and glitter in her makeup and possibly other plastics for adhesion. Her shoes are likely polyurethane but we cant see them. Let's not even discuss the plastics that may be inside of her due to us poisoning the water ways.

        Anyways what I'm saying is being a Barbie is very real in this oilpunk timeline

        There's a good faith left-lib critique re plastic surgery: basically that we should be transparent about it so that people don't labor under the idea that the "beauty" they see is attainable naturally. Nothing wrong with the artifices of makeup and plastic surgery, but one we all know is going on and the other ppl are ashamed to admit to, and just normalizing being transparent would probably help a lot.

        However this would require ppl like the frogman not being so weird about it in the first place.

          The original wording of this post I remember was pretty bad but I have to admit I don’t think plastic surgery would be anywhere near as popular outside of a medical context were it not for the very outrageous beauty standards that exist in the world today which compels women to conform more and more just to be seen as valid, real, worthy. It is anyone’s choice in this society to do what they want with their bodies of course (though I do think it is another discussion altogether how much agency can actually be claimed when forces of coercion are so strong as modern-day standards of beauty) but I’m not going to sit here and say I don’t think it’s even a little bit tragic what people are compelled to do to themselves in pursuit of this. I don’t believe it is a liberatory or empowering thing most of the time at all. frogman could have said it like that, I think a more charitable reading like that could have been got out of it, but that’s not what was said, yeah.

            Definitely another avenue to critique it. After all, beauty is always constructed socially and the pressure of unattainable norms can drive all sorts of tragic behavior. I had things like eating disorders in mind (so trying to look like someone who did plastic surgery but doesn't say as much), but the pressure to conform can lead to other tragic outcomes as well.

            To be clear: nothing ontologically wrong with plastic surgery - go get giant boobs or lipo or Botox. We should affirm people's desire to shape their body as they wish. But the motive can be either empowering or tragic and that's like, I think, where the capitalist hellscape and advertising/culture can rear their head in a real way.

              Agreed. I was mostly just posting I guess a preemptive selfcrit here because I was one of the upbears 😓 I want to say I had that more charitable reading of an otherwise offensive sentiment in mind when doing so but it’s just as likely I was projecting my own perspective i described above on garden variety chauvinism I was too sloppy to recognize and I don’t want to give the illusion that I support that. I feel a bit silly for it but I will own that

        Yeah, like my sister got implants after she recovered from serious addiction problems that left their mark on her and if she wants to have big boobs that don't sag good for her.

    Is that a real person in the image or AI slop? If the poster is getting that fashy about ai ladies then I have a somewhat different opinion of the post.
