      To be fair, I think it’s important to examine the social trends that influence people’s body images and contribute to them wanting to get a lot of plastic surgery done. I don’t think that’s healthy and it’s a lot more complicated than just “looking how they want”

        “I think it’s not mentally healthy (no source required) and so we should adjust society so people don’t want it” is the same thing, no?

          I mean given that mental health issues stemming from unrealistic body standards is an epidemic at this point, yeah I’d say so

        Who’s “we”? I support women looking how they want, and I’m not going to decide that only applies if I think it looks good

          men on lemmy

          Though I think I misunderstood you. “men on lemmy attacking women for looking how they want”, I thought the “they” here meant the men. I was thinking wow, who wanted her to look like that
