please keep the body shaming out of this community.

there are plenty of reasons not to like this person. we don't need to uphold patriarchal standards of beauty.

I mean if it's a self selected intentional alteration, that's not the same as someone who has trouble losing weight or who was born with a deformity. She paid money to another person, to alter the way she looks. The criticism she draws was chosen.

Interesting question, is the surgery itself the result of a reaction to the patriarchal standards (as in she is attempting to alter herself due to those external pressures), or is it upholding the patriarchal standards to "shame" (which I suppose in this context means "have a negative opinion or joke about") them for their choices? And if it is the former, is it still the latter because it is the former?

Truly the "chicken or egg" of our time.

In any case, I will never understand people going crazy with plastic surgery regardless of their reason. Unless they can give me a prehensile tail or the arm from the old Ballpark Franks commercials, then we can talk.

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Real talk, I would love me a tail!

[-] nsrxn@lemmy.dbzer0.com -4 points 1 day ago

stop making excuses for bad behavior

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

That's fair, I dunno the kinda toxic shit you gotta moderate. I just don't see it much, I think, cause it's already been ratio'd or moderated. My b homie.

Self butchering in order to cozy up with the fascist state gets a bit behind body shaming.

She tried to start an isis support club at university

[-] pjwestin@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Like all right-wingers, when she says, "I believe in," she doesn't mean, "these are the principals by which I conduct myself." She means, "this is how I think others should react to me, regardless of how I conduct myself."

[-] Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 41 points 2 days ago

Lol, I thought she had at least five years on me, she looks rough for her age. Also is she Christian? I could have sworn she was Jewish.

I was thinking maybe she went to the same school of grift as George Santos.

[-] dmention7@midwest.social 37 points 2 days ago

Thought the same, but surprised she is 10+ yrs younger than me. MAGA is a hell of a drug.

[-] SupraMario@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Holy shit... I thought for a second it was some college class book...then realized... I don't know of a college that does that lol, mine didn't...then realized holy shit this is 2011 HS... I'm nearly a decade older than her and she looks like she's 50+ to me...

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Same. Holy crap. Hate ages people fast AF, but then once they look like they're one foot in the grave, they live forever.

[-] SupraMario@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Yea no kidding.... McDonald's had one job and it's failing terribly at it.

[-] frank@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 day ago

Holy shit she's 33??? I assumed she was at least a rough looking 45 or a plastic surgeried up 55. There's no way ...

[-] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Hate ages you.

[-] Chivera@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Same, I thought she was in her 50s

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I think that’s the result of the required republican plasticization for women in the party.

We’re used to older actresses or whatever getting plastic surgery. All the usual stuff from face lifts, buccal fat removal, chin tucks, lip filler and all that. It gives them a certain look.

So when a younger woman gets plasticized she now looks far more like the older women who have had a lot of work done, and that greatly contributes to the “older” look.

[-] Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I'll never understand it, but to each their own.

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yeah that's... confusing, as she has very often and very loudly reminded everyone that she is Jewish.

Its on her wiki page.

... ?

She apparently started her 'anti anti Jewish activism' in college, a couple of years after 2011.

... ... ???

EDIT: Also, she looks rough because she's into (arguably pioneered), the MAGA face style of plastic surgery.

It is not slight nor subtle, it is ... approaching clownish, basically, like a caricature of a human face.

[-] SalaciousBCrumb@lemy.lol 12 points 2 days ago

Those lower case t necklaces were very in fashion.

[-] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Nothing happened. Those little brain farts in a yearbook are always lies.

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

That would sort of track for a young ladywith a conservative upbringing.

I do feel like that's an especially difficult position to be born in. Not the worst of course, but church women have been through or are currently in a high pressured high control system.

[-] Zirconium@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

I think political parties/organizations (talking particularly on the Right) groom almost all of their public facing people. Charlie Kirk is one example, weird stuff going around with Erika Kirk after he was already taken into TPUSA. Doesn't make them any less worse people but it's scary and sad to see

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 2 days ago

Oh my god that explains everything.

Laura Loomer is 'revenge of the bullied awkward fat girl.'

[-] Blibly@lemmy.world 45 points 2 days ago

Fuck it I'll say it... I think she was kinda cute. If she got bullied for looking like that it really shows how awful our society is and what it does to us all. No wonder she's broken. It could have been any of us, really. Genuinely sad to think about.

[-] merdaverse@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago

She looked like a normal human being before the plastic surgery to become Jigsaw

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I mean... personally, I do not find her kinda cute, but I realize that everyone has different things in different combinations that make people appear attractive to them.

I do totally agree that it should not be the case that an arguably adorkable looking person should be mocked and treated cruelly for their looks alone, but also, I graduated high school not too many years before she did... and well yeah, high schoolers are very often demons with skin suits.

Also... her wiki says her family, her upbringing was pretty violent, and her brother has/had schizophrenia.

So... having been around schizophrenics myself... yeah that can be basically maddening.

I agree that it is a tragedy to some degree, but I feel like that stops mattering as an excuse or explanation when you start to do as much and as significant broad (and direct) harm as she has done.

On the other hand...

Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.

She was definitely cute. What happened to fill her with vile hatred I can't say, I don't know what she went through. But the cute Laura there might as well be dead now. Replaced by a dark, evil one. And her looks have mirrored the darkness in her soul. It's a shame that people turn bad. But just like food, it affects the look of it as well. And I understand someone's personality affecting their subjective attractiveness to you, that's normal. But she wasn't always like that. Most people weren't. It takes some kind of outside force to make someone's internal views become that shitty, I don't believe people naturally suck that bad.

Also high energy chemistry and good metallurgy. But those also get pretty bright st least briefly, do maybe it still holds.

In high school, you can get bullied for four years for mispronouncing a word in English 1. "Hey, there goes ex-eno-fobe Joe."

[-] 4am@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

So, same as it ever was

[-] cassandrafatigue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Nope. I had a conscience. A shitty one at that age, but a conscience.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Really? She was actually cute back then. The plastic surgery and hate is what uglied her.

[-] wake@quokk.au 14 points 2 days ago

"ass of 2011"

[-] Beetschnapps@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

“I thought I killed Laura Loomer. I went out to the desert, and I killed her… I spent 3 years trying to become Laura…”

[-] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

Power happened. Power corrupts.

How did she get power? Your guess is as good as mine, I haven't paid attention.

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

I haven’t paid attention.

That's how.

[-] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 days ago

As the saying goes "power doesnt corrupt, it enables"

Everything she does is entirely her own fault

Well, no, but it needs to be got rid of and there's nothing that can be salvaged from her. I'd guess even the liver is a wreck.

[-] GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Her brain finished developing. The prefrontal cortex continues to develop until about 25 years. Which is responsible for decision making and personality. I.e. people can change drastically up until their early 30s while their brain continues to develop.

[-] Hegar@fedia.io 0 points 2 days ago

I'm pretty sure AI/photoshop is what happened.

Like everything on the internet that's just too good to be true, it's not true.
