    10 points OldBonyBogBwitch

    I have a feeling—esp when you take into consideration the exchange between the photog & Miller—that they arrogantly expected him to curate their images the way they all do themselves: great lighting, (attempt) good angles, & a fuckton of editing/Facetune-esque grotesquery.

    Of course, if any of them put their single brain cells together just for a nanosecond to look into exactly who this particular photog is & what he does, they’d have picked someone else that was more…..MAGAt-malleable.

    But in their time-honored tradition of self-importance, misplaced arrogance, & delusional perceptions of themselves, they assumed he’d try to gussy them up with a spitshine on their egos bcuz they all live in one big circlejerking echo chamber. Instead, he did what he’s known internationally & historically for doing best: he shows the world who people are. Up close & personal, no filters, no smokescreen.

    And they can’t blame themselves of course, for being ignorant twatwattles who slaver all over each other’s metaphorical & real jibblybits to fill their vacuous voids….so it must be the photog’s fault. He’s “out to get them”. HE “made” them look bad. Right? LMAO ;)

    So I'm a person who hates this administration and everyone involved in it or who even moderately supports it

    But I want to ask you in earnest: what are you saying by pointing out her age here? If it's that "being bad also makes you look bad" what are you saying about leftist women who also look like her at 28?

    parent root
    25 points The_Best_Person_EVER

    Leavitt and many other MAGA women have had a lot of plastic surgery, which is unusual for a woman her age. The makeup is also done very poorly, settling in her lines and emphasizing them. The color doesn’t match her skin tone, the skin is clearly very dry and in need of exfoliation, and the makeup is separating, all of which are aging her. The outdated style of makeup (orange nose) also ages her.

    parent root
    -8 points ryx107

    I don't disagree with you, but what I'm asking is: what's wrong with a woman not looking (what we personally define as) "youthful"? If we make fun of her for looking a certain way because she's our enemy, we are bolstering misogynistic attitudes and unintentionally insulting our allies who might also look like her.

    ETA: I do want to be clear though that this is not a "let's all be nice" thing like I fucking hate her and I wish her suffering I just don't want progressive people who maybe aren't beautiful to be catching strays for no reason

    parent root
    9 points The_Best_Person_EVER

    You’re right; there isn’t anything wrong with looking old or young. There definitely is a problem within Gen Z and even Gen Alpha with people obsessing over looking young and getting a lot of plastic surgery, or obsessing over skin care.

    However, a lot of why she looks older is the lip filler and orange bronzer, which is something that is definitely associated with MAGA. Look at Kristi Noem and Laura Loomer. I don’t worry that anyone on the left sees themselves in that.

    parent root
    8 points ryx107

    That is a good point-- mocking the MAGA makeup look specifically is highly unlikely to be referencing any unintended targets.

    Like, I get you, because I literally think the world would be an objectively better place if all of them dropped dead this minute. I'm just staying when you make fun of someone for having wrinkles, you're making fun of everyone with wrinkles, even the nice people.

    parent root
    6 points Shotgun5250

    I think the point is that the MAGA people hyper focus on masculinity and femininity, and with that they push the youthful female and strong rugged male archetype. They couple that with the anti trans mentality where they act like any body modification is an affront to their god and is unnatural, pushing the narrative that natural beauty is superior, etc. They draw attention to it like it’s this super important thing, only to Frankenstein their bodies into these unnatural looking plastic filled faces, completely oblivious to the fact that by their own definition, they are getting unnecessary gender affirming surgery.

    In short, I think it’s fair to criticize because they are the ones making a big deal about it in the first place. If they’re trying want to put a spotlight on how people look, let there be a spotlight.
