That’s the thing – this ‘aesthetic’ they’re chasing is the ugly stick version, and I strongly feel it’s because nobody in their bubble are willing to tell them they look like fucking homunculi. They pay people to tell them they’re gorgeous no matter what.
I interacted with a lot of, uh, private school moms growing up, and breast implants (even when they were impractical or bad looking) were definitely a social expectation. There was some plastic surgery too. Many were aware, but it’s like a ticket for entry.
These people are way above that level (including Laura Loomer who is a mega rich celebrity), so I bet it’s just more extreme.

Actually I think there’s a lot of awareness?

I was the kid of one of those moms in the late seventies. I think ‘awareness’ was very relative.
I think you’re right, anyhow.
