It's useless to paint your skin to make it look like something healthy, when the body's insides are not really so.
And if I am going to pay an exorbitant amount of money to have an extra layer of skin, it better be giving me +10 slash/pierce resist.
I can tell you why certain boomers hate/hated it, from what they've shared out loud:
Because apparently it means you might end up with ugly children but not know. So they say it's a form of deception.
Those people also usually dislike make-up too.
For me it is just manipulating your natural beauty. Hollywood conditions nearly all women that they must look attractive or risk losing roles that exist only based on attractiveness. So you see actresses like Kate Beckingsale or Lindsay Lohan doing this for some roles.
It's different than needing to get rid of loose skin from losing a lot of weight.
My daughter says she hates it because it means money can make you look better.
I kind of like that though - it is more democratic than "natural beauty" being the standard. If beauty is something you do or buy, maybe people think it's cheating, but how is that worse than it being luck?
Don't imagine I'll ever have enough $ to want to spend it on cosmetic surgery, but I knew a lady with bad skin tone - she had a baby and was overweight, lost the weight but her torso skin stayed stretched out, all saggy. She got a tummy tuck and boob lift and holy cow it looked amazing, she felt so good about her body and said "it cost as much as a car but I will drive my body much longer than my car.". Nobody is going to convince me that's a bad thing that she ought not have done. She wasn't disfigured before, she did it to look good and she sure did.
Every person owns their own body and should modify it however they want. I am not against even creative cosmetic surgery, you want elf ears, go for it. And I do not think ugly people are under any obligation to get modified so that they look "better" either. Whatever the individual wants, it is their call. This is one situation where I really feel it is not my business at all.
Hating? Are you sure you're reading that right?
Or maybe criticising/disliking when people make themselves look weird because their ego can't handle the fact we all get older.
I've known people who've had work done, small things, and no one would ever know.
What they didn't do was have their face pulled back so tight at 60 that they look like a caricature of their 20-year-old self.
Probably a lot of noise coming from the incels.
