OMG bad jaw surgery on Japanese porn star

Rina Nanase says people who dubbed her Dobby because of her similarity with the house elf from the Harry Potter books are just jealous of the surgical shaping she has undergone.
WTF jealous of her looks???
 
surgery is only bad if it doesn't give you what you want. she seems happy..... and confident. even if she is deluded. would it be better if she saw what we all see when she looked in the mirror? would it be better if she just killed herself? not everyone has the same beauty ideal. hot asian men look feminine to some westerners and western (female) celebrities look like masculine (often overweight) transvestites to many asians. or like vultures or pelicans with their huge beaks (at least before their rhino). almost all of us here want to look as close as possible to the beauty ideal in our culture/country (or in Korea haha). she wants to look like that. i think she just got what she wanted. it doesn't mean PS in Japan is bad. if they can make someone happy even if she wants something strange that no one else wanted it before her then doesn't that mean they're really good at PS? i think so. but that picture makes me wonder. did they cut too much bone from her jaw? her teeth need to have a jawbone to attach to. i hope not, if they did it can't be fixed.
 
this is more of an issue regarding an over emphasis of beautification within pop culture and mainstream media than it is over varying cultural definitions of aesthetics. There are individuals who tend to be more heavily influenced in an extreme way than others. This (delusional) girl is one such person. Reminds me of the female Ken Doll plastic surgery junkie.

I think she not only got v line she also had alot of fat removed from her face. I somehow get the feeling she intended to look like that :S

yes, that's what i said. that's why i feel for her: it cannot be changed now, i hope she will be happy like that for the rest of her life. what is the alternative? she "wakes up" and kills herself? i don't think that's better... i think it's good if she's at least happy.

I agree - this is an extreme example of trying to conform to a standard that won't work for everyone.
 
funny fact, anime character designs actually began as propaganda modelled after the caucasians. The beauty standard in asia is also heavily influenced by the caucasian aesthetic, in part because mainstream pop culture is flooded with caucasian imagery as visual symbols. I mean I rarely see any asians used in advertising over in the US, Canada or Australia. But in asia we see caucasians in advertising everywhere. I was a bit sad when i read several sociological articles regarding the caucasianzation of asian beauty. And till this day i have yet to come across an asianization of caucasian beauty yet. I can't really say that i myself am unaffected tho, when i was younger and less self aware, certain procedures i underwent were in fact an attempt to westernize certain aspects of my features.
