Had a quick look at the first page there. Oh good god.
Horrible as they may be to interact with, I think most of them are lonely and confused about what's expected of them and boiling with anger because of it. Of course they're blaming the wrong people, which makes it easy to scorn them. I just don't feel right laughing at them.0 -

This..I said it a few pages backdont bother wrote: »you're literally arguing against nothing though - the original post was about women who wore MAD amounts of makeup and fakery....
but you've turned it into a witchhunt against the OP and a weird feminazi approach to your replies.
nobody is slamming women here... it's just an opinion from the OP and you seem to be the one getting worked up in defense of something which the OP said is trivial...

Its not like its being brought into legislation across the board or anything. I also like the fact that I am typing this without as much as a screed of mascara.
Its not upsetting, what it represents is unsettling rather...still havent grasped that, have you?0 -

It's mainly sad though, genuinely.
I also hate things that exist just to laugh at people.0 -

some women look like sh!t, others look like clows, others look good.
you can "feel" whatever you want "about yourself" but at the end of the day nobody gives a sh!te - they MAY get a laugh to themselves about your RIDICULOUS appearance, and some people will feel sorry for you when they see how obvious your "mask" is....
Just to quote the original post that started this off:I appear to have spotted a trend which has honestly got me baffled
Lately, I've noticed more and more women seem to do their lipstick in a fashion that either makes them look like they've had an allergic reaction to peanuts, or they are trying to do their best impression of the Joker in The Dark Knight?
Could anyone explain this, please??
It's been explained, but to recap, the explanation is one of the following:
1. They think it looks good, or
2. It makes them feel good, or
3. It makes them appeal to people who share their aesthetic preferences.
That's it; there's the answer. There's nothing feminist about the answer-- or anything misogynist about the question itself, really, beyond the fact that the answer should be obvious: because they think it looks good. Why does anyone do anything? Either because they have to, or because they enjoy it. That's honestly the answer every time.
Many of the people commenting (myself included) might agree that this "look" is unflattering/unappealing/ugly/ridiculous. This opinion isn't what's making people angry. You're entitled to your feelings. Nobody cares.
What's making people angry (and show "feminist tendencies") are the subsequent posts which reveal a belief of you thinking this is a bad look should mean that other people need to stop doing it. That their reasons for doing it (to feel groomed, to look pretty, to appeal to people who appreciate this style) are insufficient in the face of your disapproval.
What's really unappealing and ugly here is the attempt to shame people into behaving in the manner you prefer by saying they will be laughed at and pitied for going out looking the way they prefer to look. It's a desperate attempt to force others into accepting your preferences and aesthetics, to discard their own wants to please you-- and when the impact it will have on your life either way is ultimately negligible.
That attitude, to me, shows more vanity and self-absorbsion than all the overdone make-up in the world and is infinitely more pitiable.0 -

Is any reflective surface okay?
