2, 3 & 4 are examples of what's called "Mar-a-lago face" - really blatant plastic surgery to emphasize your ability to afford plastic surgery.

Elites frequently engage in body-modification intense enough to look grotesque to others as a way of marking their status. Mayan and Hunnic cranial deformation and Chinese foot-binding are prominent other examples.

Holy crap - that was brilliant, and Amber’s over-the-top reactions were just the cream on top! 👌🏼

I have no idea if you're being serious.

Tbh I struggle with that myself sometimes.

But mar-a-lago face is a real thing and while the first instinct is to recoil in horror at what these people have done to themselves, elites have a long history of this kind of extreme identity signalling. And I do think this phenomenon is best understood as part of that tradition.

that face is a consequence, not a goal.

My understanding is that it is a goal. It's not just a botched face job or over use of botox. People walk in and ask for a face like that.

I used to call it real-housewife-face, because that seemed to be where the desire to do this to themselves started.

But is does seem to overlap a lot with visitors or wanna be visitors to that Nazi bar down in Florida.

God the orokin from warframe are getting more and more plausible as an outcome for humanity. (They can transfer their souls into new bodies, and eventually became masters of genetic engineering, making theselves fancy ugly af bodies for fashion purposes. Notably, blue skin, very tall and large, with a freakishly long right arm)

Always fun to see Warframe referenced in the wild. Thought about this too.

I'm pretty sure Marge was just born with that face, but I get what you mean

You're right. Samsquanches need powerful masculine jaws in order to crack bones and suck marrow.

Facial expression... Facial expression never changes.

I had to include the cat just as a little bit of eyebleach honestly.

What the heck was he in?

Never mind, I just googled the wrong Perlman long hair movie and it was the beauty and the beast show

Pretty sure he's a Maine Coon, it seems like that's a trait of that breed to have a face structure like that!

2, 3, 4 & 5 are the horses that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will ride to usher in the End Times

Laura Loomer. It was late when I was making this and they all kinda look the same. I had to go back and makes sure 2 and 4 weren't the same person accidentally.

She’s only 32. Looks like some serial killer flesh mask. She a disgusting human inside and out.

Fun fact! The kid in the MAGA hat is in a concentration camp.

(I have zero idea who either of these people are, but I think the odds I'm still correct are in my favour)

Tuna P. Beantoehausenerlenmeyer-Graham, a Main Coon cat said to be the most ronperlmanesque Main Coon cat thus far discovered.
