In reply to the discussion: This is your face; This is your face on MAGA [View all]erronis
(21,134 posts)53. I thought this was a scary clown face. She's a perfect fit for Don's carnival.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnival#Etymology
The word is said to come from the Late Latin expression carne levare, which means "remove meat"; a folk etymology derives it from carne vale, "farewell to meat". In either case, this signifies the approaching fast.[17] The word carne may also be translated as flesh, producing "a farewell to the flesh", a phrase embraced by certain Carnival celebrants to embolden the festival's carefree spirit.[17] The etymology of the word Carnival thus points to a Christian origin of the celebratory period.[15]
Other scholars argue that the origin of the word is a common meat-based country feast (in Latin carnualia)[18] or the festival of the Navigium Isidis ("ship of Isis"
, where the image of Isis was carried to the seashore to bless the start of sailing season.[19] The festival consisted of a parade of masks following an adorned wooden boat, called in Latin carrus navalis,[18] possibly the source of both the name and the parade floats.

Even cosmetic "enhancement" (however debatable) cannot mask the true inner character...

It appears key elements in the OP are quite exaggerated but essentially real.

It's one thing to make fun of a person's God given looks, it's another when an ugly monster alters their appearance

At this level of weird self-mutilation, it becomes an indicator of their value system

I've been saying, when they go low, we kick them in the teeth. As my ex liked to say, mox nix. Either works. :D

I'd agree to not criticizing someone's NATURAL looks, but this cosmetic surgical obsession shows

Because it matches the evil on the inside? Oh, shoot. I think there's a revelation in there somewhere.

The pressure put on women to be "perfect" combined with her own insecurity brings us to these sort of outcomes

Poor thing. What a horrible disfigurement. Bless her heart. Is there a go-fund-me to help her?

She'd need considerable bone reconstruction to get rid of a square face. There's nothing wrong with any face shape.
