Since people are asking what this even is, it's Laura loomer in 2023. She's had a ton of plastic surgery - I mean, she's had a ton of gender affirming care (while arguing trans people shouldn't be able to have hormones).

Anyway, here's the before and after.

Jesus Christ, she was actually cute in the before, kinda like Sophie turner. The after looks like a bad action figure of Megan Fox.

Young, made of plastic and possibly related?

[–] ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I actually feel bad for her now, this is just sad

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

Yeah, I don't know if we can categorize what happened there as "gender-affirming". At best, it's gender-enabling an avoidance to a deeper gender-problem.

[–] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 days ago

You don't have to be, she did this to herself while forcing heinous shit on innocent people.

[–] TimeNaan@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago

Straight up ruined her own looks chasing some absurd right-wing idea of what a woman should look like

[–] PDFuego@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago

If that picture is from 2023, she's 30 in it.

[–] Derpenheim@lemmy.zip 11 points 4 days ago

THATS LAURA LOOMER?!?!?!

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 8 points 4 days ago

What a moment of history.

That short week when Jigsaw here was playing with Trump's Mushroom until Trump abandoned her and she went nuclear on Twitter.

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.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 6 points 4 days ago

OK, wow.

She was cute before.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

If you told me she was trans in the "before" picture, I wouldn't argue.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 48 points 4 days ago (4 children)

That is genuinely terrifying. What exactly am I looking at?

[–] Ganbat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 4 days ago

It appears to be an angry, moustached child and his wooden doll mother.

[–] myster0n@feddit.nl 25 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 5 points 4 days ago

Genuinely what it looks like.

[–] danekrae@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago

Is this picture the reason, why they are scared of drag queens being near children?

[–] DickFiasco@lemm.ee 12 points 4 days ago

Promo for the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre reboot.

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 37 points 4 days ago
[–] barnaclebutt@lemmy.world 24 points 4 days ago

Jesus Christ. Yeah, it's the trans people that are the problem. Not the Nazi alien dressed in a skin suit.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 16 points 4 days ago

Just nuke the red states of 'Murica

That'll make life so much better for the rest of the world

[–] TheOneAndOnly@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah... Came to the comments for an explanation. Is this an actual picture? If so... Are they just...MAGA weirdos?

[–] Seleni@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Laura Loomer. This is what plastic surgery addiction gets you.

[–] TheOneAndOnly@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Crazy. She looks terrible. Like... Not that I ever thought she was normal, but she used to look way more normal.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This looks like an image the alt-right would badly photoshop together to mock the left.

Except that baby-face has a MAGA hat and I was informed the other being is Laura Loomer(whuh). Baffling.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 5 points 4 days ago

She's 31, younger than me.

She looks mid 50s, with a lot of work done.

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

The hideous thing about Loomer can't be captured with a camera.

[–] DickFiasco@lemm.ee 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

These AI-generated pictures are getting out of hand.

It's at least nice to see conservatives embracing transhumanism

[–] SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 3 points 4 days ago

Plastic Mickey from the first episode of 2005 Doctor Who looks less uncanny than that bigot.

[–] PotatoLibre@feddit.it 2 points 4 days ago

Lombroso wasn't so wrong

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

I listen to a lot of Knowledge Fight which is a podcast that covers and tears apart Infowars. I've heard Alex Jones say a lot of names to which I don't care to put a ~~halloween mask~~ face to.
