I found it a bit odd that the Brazilian guy chose to get monolids, a feature which is seen as unattractive in asian but actually got his nose sharper, a feature which is attractive in asia.
Also the eurasian standard of beauty has existed long before media influences, i just think its been more perpetuated due to mainstream pop culture.
alot of people are so shocked that he got his eyes slanted but isn't it interesting when you consider that no one flinches when asians get the double eyelid + lateral + epi cantho? shocking lol?
not entirely tho, beauty is both cultural and socially conditioned. In some parts of africa fat women are perceived as more sexually desirable. In asia effeminate looking men are deemed attractive whilst in western countries these two traits are not considered physically attractive. The one thing that does seems to be universal according to scientific studies is that we are naturally attracted to symmetry.true, it's not even racial thing, it's just nature - it looks attractive, it's as simple as that.
controversial amongst non asians? Because that i would agree. But ive yet to come across an asian person that finds it appalling. In part i feel is because its just so common within asian culture and is also considered a physically beautiful trait. i wasn't talking about whether people are for or against it, i was suggesting people are more desensitized to an asian getting the eyelid proceduresMany, many people flinch about this. It's very controversial, if not among the PS fans on these threads.

Both our opinions are on two completely different subject matters. My response has got to do with the comparative desensitization of the procedures due to frequency. As i later explained and i quote myself "i wasn't talking about whether people are for or against it, i was suggesting people are more desensitized to an asian getting the eyelid procedures". While your opinion concerns the controversial debates surrounding the procedures.I understand the term, so there's no need for explanation.
I was responding initially to your comment that nobody flinches when Asians get the procedures, vs. the Brazilian guy. Your response is that Asian eye procedures are common, and common enough to numb people about it. I think otherwise--that surgeries that exist to reinforce ideals about what is beautiful and to solve psychological needs, not medical ones, are controversial, even if a noticeable minority of people are doing it. There's plenty of written and spoken flinching on the subject, and that's all I meant to say.
