    The one on the right seems to be slightly edited into further uncanny valley territory.

    Here’s a comment I remember from months ago saying something like “it’s real omg” while replying to it with an unedited (or less edited idk) photo that is clearly different. It’s subtle at a glance.

    She still looks like an uncanny caricature in the real one. But yes, people will go into surgery for one niggling insecurity, even people you wouldn’t consider bad looking, and a small number do get hooked on that feeling of “fixing” their appearance, first to diminishing returns, and then to outright becoming uncomfortable to look at.

    Thankfully, this is a piece of irredeemable human excrement we’re discussing, and every dollar she spends reinforcing an unscrupulous surgeon’s yacht is one she’s not using to spread her message. Even if I never end up moving to the US, this environment of evil rhetoric has been poisoning a lot of potential places that people like me would want to immigrate to.

    EDIT:

    CW: fucking look at her dawg

    Expression on the right looks kind and gentle compared to Jigsaw on the left there. The edit is legitimately pretty subtle if you’re not keeping an eye out for it, a light handed liquify pass that really changes what we’re looking at. I’ve cropped out the kid because it’s not their fault their parents brought them there.

    Weirdly enough it’s easier to see the effect if you’re not scrutinizing details and you look at both photos from a distance. The only obvious change to me is the Jigsaw style billiard ball cheekbones.

    That’s enough devil’s advocate from me. I hope she chokes on whatever disgusting creature she starts “gaining rapport” with next.
