Yes lets defend bullshit beauty standards that make people even less comfortable in their own skin.
I think self-esteem transcends culture. You can call it colonialism, but I say you want people to suffer. Because culture!
Also, unrealistic beauty standards are fairly universal. These awful beauty apps are but one solution, and they are gaining ground here in the west. Is this a case of eastern colonialism? What about TikTok?
Empowering people to feel comfortable in their own skin, as they are. How could anyone not want that?
If you cut someone, and they heal, that doesn't erase the fact that you cut someone. The important thing is not to cut them.
My friends here drive me crazy with their self-conscious body-shaming because they grew up constantly surrounded by impossible images of beauty. They do this so much that it is a nuisance. And what we have here is but a fraction of what it sounds like the east has. People living under your system must be positively insufferable then, without their precious beauty apps.
To be clear, I'm against any fake anything. Fake tits, fake lips, fake asses, fake selfies.... unless there are medical reasons it is all garbage.
