I think a significant part of this "trend" is caused by body dysmorphia. It is predominantly young women and those with a greater disposition toward eating disorders. This is, unfortunately, a very sad reflection of how they would like to be seen. They need help, not viral affirmation that encourages their belief that this "standard of beauty" is something to aspire to.
@@YourCo-workerAlbedo It's an extreme exaggeration of traits they see as desirable. The dysmorphia part of it makes their perception get warped so they can't see that it's going way too far.
As someone who previously warped their face and body with BeautyCam, I can confirm it's due to Body Dysmorphia. Once I saw my girlfriend warp her image via BeautyCam, I did it myself, but to an unnecessarily extreme level due to my unhealthy mindset. I was suffering anorexia at the time. I feel as if these edits truly go to show how warped one's mind is when they are affected daily by Body Dysmorphia.
Lol true… it’s giving an approximation of what an alien would try to pass off as a “human-looking” body. I really hope these poor girls can learn to love themselves down the line. I hope so, but… well… I just hope.
Lord Jesus Christ is coming back everyone, please don’t worship celebrities and entertainment, focus on Him alone. I promise there’s more to life than money, partying, homosexuality and music. Hell is real, repent from sinning confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, I know He will if you’re sincere. Anyone who thinks the Name of Lord Jesus Christ is a joke, boldly mocks and scorns Him or takes pleasure in people who do is in for a big unpleasant surprise on judgement day IF they don’t repent and follow Lord Jesus Christ. Hell is very hot, people please repent! In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💪✝️💜❤️✝️! Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Racism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget! So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen.
They are trying to globally normalize the distorted versions of the human body so the world becomes accepting of gender fluidity. This is programming its not by accident.
As a Japanese woman myself…I don’t understand some of these crazily edited photos or plastic surgery either. Mind you that I’m a bit older in terms of “youth pop culture”as an almost 34 yrs old, however, it’s just not attractive to me either! “Catfishing” is not just a Japanese thing and it absolutely exists everywhere, like Aki said. However, it’s sad how it screams nothing but insecurity. Of course I fully understand wanting to look the best you can, but I’m glad I had wise adults and other role models as a teen and youth who taught me to embrace how I naturally look. As an example, what was really so wrong with the way Matt looked before? I truly ask in seriousness! He looked like a perfectly handsome East Asian man to me! Well, he’s definitely not White-Asian mix as far as we all know…I would’ve absolutely found his original look attractive, not saying that I’m attracted to him if you see what I’m saying. . He sure looked adorable with his smile and I’m sad that he looks so morphed now.😢
As someone who's previously suffered from anorexia and body dysmorphia, I can tell you that these people don't see the same thing we do when they overedit their photos. After my girlfriend at the time introduced me to Beautycam and warped her face to look nothing like her real one, I felt encouraged to do the same and God the results were horrific... but at the time, I saw nothing wrong with it. I look back at it now and think "DAMN. THAT'S SO OBVIOUSLY EDITED." Half the time these people who edit their photos don't need to make these adjustments, they are gorgeous.
I'm Chinese but adopted and grew up in Sweden and I'm so thankful for that since my photos could've ended up like this if I grew up in my home country instead 💀💀💀
What Confuses me more than anything in trends like this is... What happens when these people using a million filters to look surreal meet with others in real life?! You cannot use filters in real life and no amount of make-up or even surgery is going to make you look like this IRL! Catfishing has reached a whole new level. WHY?!?!?!?!
Maybe they don't care? Sounds like a good way to get famous without having people go after you IRL. Like if they had a Vtuber avatar but it's just them with stupid amounts of filters. Also there will be people thirsty enough for it no matter what. People have simped over irrealistic bodies for a while now it's just one step more ridiculous.
Apparently the Shoujo Manga Look is taken very seriously by some. This is people literally trying to transform themselves into a highly stylized drawing.
Not a trend only in japan but I went to korea and saw a few girls that looked like that IN REAL LIFE! They surgically had shaved V like the letter jawlines. Their heads looked so small and then big fake boobs and the body was too thin.
same i live in japan and went to korea for like 2 days i got jump scared but tbh it’s just sad :( Saw like 5 korean women dressed the same with the same face, literal gangnam face ppl should do whatever they like but that’s just a whole other level😭
Do ppl not realize having a super sharp jaw and big eyes makes you look like a praying mantis 😅 but seriously why is this a 'beauty goal' you grew into your face for a reason stop trying to look like a newborn baby or 2D cartoon character its disturbing your already naturally beautiful 😢
The only benefit I can see from deforming themselves via filters like if they were a Junji Ito character is they'd be less likely to be recognized by stalkers.
It’s honestly sad to see them make such drastic changes to their body/face or feel the need to make such changes to be perceived as pretty. It creates unrealistic standards for others to follow as well :(
Honestly I think it’s sad you take offense to it I mean they’re just doing their own thing what makes them feel comfortable about themselves, and people have done weirder things.
As far as I know, a lot of people dealing with body dysmorphia and body image issues that get tons of work done also slap on a bunch of filters because they are still majorly insecure. It is a mental illness after all. Plastic surgery can be great thing for many people, but not addressing the root of the problem can just end up leading many more insecurities piling up. I think a big part of it is that this type of behavior is rewarded in online spaces, whether it be sarcastically, or ppl genuinely liking the editing style.
Back in 2009 I had a friend in college who did a semester in Japan - she posted these sorts of photos on facebook and i asked her what it was about.. she legit thought it was good. I was confused and we both had an art history background so we has a bit of discussion about art and proportions.. but in the end she was mad I didn't "see the beauty" and we havent spoken since.
Oli is a European trying to look East Asian and Matt is an East Asian trying to look European. The funny thing is that neither one has accomplished their goal and they both ended up looking like each other in the sense that they both have that distinct "plastic surgery face" look that doesn't look like any particular race
@@merlumiliMatt certainly doesn’t look anything close to “European”. Nobody in Europe looks like that…. Same with Oli. I don’t know what he thinks Asian folks look like, but he ain’t it.
I've noticed this trend with a few Japanese influencers I'd look up from time to time. I'm an alternative person, and this aesthetic is really concerning. It screams body dysmorphia 😔
As a guy, legit that's not attractive. It's honestly creepy. Like really really creepy. And the worst thing, specifically in the US is that you can't talk about this. Yes I get the need to not bully but this totally falls under "don't talk about women's bodies" and by not talking about it issues like body disnorohic disorder are almost encouraged instead of treated or even addressed.
it actually genially concerns me how extremely insecure these people are when they do that much filter on themselves. even with plastic surgery. people need to stop pushing a beauty trend thats very unrealistic AND unhealthy
tell that to all men around the world who telling them to get bigger muscle by going to gym... why only speak up about women physique but not speak up about men physique ??
@@andreassetiawan122then go make ur own video speaking out about it instead of only bringing this up when women’s issues are discussed? Also a gym physique is not the same as the beauty standards discussed here. Anyone can gain muscles by working out, but to have a small face/thin waist/big butt you have to alter your bone structure via surgery, for many it is not possible just by working out, making it truly unrealistic.
@@andreassetiawan122who is telling them that? Other men. So y’all tell yourselves. Women typically don’t idolize the muscular bodies men do, so this is silly ignorant shit
Amazing video akidearest,fantastic job. It’s so ridiculously how far people would change there appearance to get noticed by people,it’s so dumb they should be happy what they have in life.
Being born with a BLL??? "I am a big girl" with super skinny waist??? These people do not think general public to be as smart.... I don't know if this is a form of narcissism in a lighter sense but the audacity is undoubtedly real!
Tbh, she could have lipedema on her butt and upper legs. Her legs didn't look sure thin as well, which makes me think it's possible it is actually "what god gave her", meaning having a condition.
@@Luxxannethank you for bringing this up! Most people just want to jump on the bandwagon to make themselves feel superior. It takes courage and a good heart to go against the flow and offer an explanation or defend someone, especially a stranger. I went to school with a girl whose body shape was just like this, slim except for her butt, hips, thighs. As I was skinny except for my own big backside and bigger thighs than I thought a dancer should have, we shared many of the same insecurities. It was early on in our friendship when she said what her condition was and for the life of me I can't remember, but lymphedema is the most likely. On the other hand though, this lady shouldn't be dressed like that in a place that caters to children and families and act all surprised and upset with people gawking ( that's what she was after to get the "views ") and that parents would want to shield their children from that type of display. It's just not normal to want to wear revealing attire to go to a place that's meant for children. Like everything in life, there's more than just one side to things. Thank you again for pointing out that she could have a condition and if so she didn't choose to have that body shape and I'm glad she's accepted herself. But now she needs to work on appropriate attire for certain places, just like everyone else has our own things to work on.
As someone with a natural 50in hip and small waist hard agree. It doesn’t even move in the slightest???? God given? Wouldn’t be surprised if this was just to get attention on her account but hey it worked she got her bag 😂
As someone who have been roaming around Chinese social media, I 100% confident to say this trend isn't something new at all and is most probably a norm that is going to get memed 😂
Matt looks so much better with his before. Not because I’m into Asian looking people, but because I like natural looks like that so much better. It’s a shame someone has to go through surgery just to accept their appearance. we really should have courses in classes available for every single person at the age of middle school age that help them except their appearances as they are.
I think Asian women are extremely beautiful. What makes them beautiful is the black silky hair, tan skin and their beautiful personality. IMHO alterations are not needed
@@Ozymondias99I'm a Barbie gurl in a Barbie worlddd wrap In plastic it's fantastic. You can brush my hair and undress me everywhereeee imagination life is your favorite
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you.
I think I recognize the girl in the second and third photos. I saw a documentary with her, she's had a lot of plastic surgery (I think she said over 100 procedures) to look like a french doll, and yet she edits her photos as much as she does. She's beautiful and seems really sweet, but girl, whyyy 🙃
Where does this insecurity induced body dysmorphia come from? I recall purikura having editing capabilities like this for a long time - to lighten skin, make eyes larger, & make faces smaller - so I imagine young girls growing up thinking it was a good thing because their friends all agreed it was an improvement & now can’t live without it as an adult. It is even worse that Japanese culture isn’t big on dealing with mental issues, so this insecurity is never addressed via therapy which, in turn, can develop into an obsession with plastic surgery & unrealistic body ideals.
@@lesleycouch6557 Of course! I also have no problem with BBLs. I do prefer natural bodies whether they're slim or thick. But to act like all that is what God gave you? 😀 No
It's mostly for privacy. That's why people use pictures of food and pets. The doll like faces are meant to be sarcastic and fun. The actor/musician I follow, he only posts half of his face or an eye peeking out from a corner, to his account. His agency made it illegal to distribute his photos and images outside of his fan club and approved platforms. We call exclusive to Japan artists like this "premium boys/girls". Matt is an idol thet plays an android character.
3:27 people are complimenting her because people used her photos on stab twitter and floptok for memes. The people commenting mustve been happy to find the original photos i guess
Honestly, this 'trend' blows my mind about east Asia. Like, the total disinterest in looking even remotely, passably human. For all the make-up, work and editing that Western influencers use to the point they all look uncannily the same, at least the look itself is vaguely human. Like you could almost believe by random luck someone could be born with those good genetics. But then you see East Asia's 'influencer' beauty standards and it's like they're trying to appeal to Florpblox followers from Eredani Pegasi 6 or something.
i went to south korea a couple of months ago . cos i just wanted to cross it off my bucket list of places to go before i get old . and it was a real eye opener . alot of people look the same there . the beauty standards . white skin , micheal jackson nose , same haircuts . i was like . the heck is this . im glad i was only there for 8 days . tbh . i like Japan better . in Japan you see alot more real people
I personally think they really are just trying to look like anime, which then brought back a memory of a person I learned about back then. Björn Andresen, the most beautiful boy in the world. From what I was informed, he was said to be the inspiration for anime boys back then.
Her 🍑 is actually her natural 🍑. It's everything else she's had reduced and sculpted to make it appear even bigger. She used to have more of a tummy that you'd expect on a women that never actually works out or eats healthy. And she's had some face work done too.
Lipedema is a real medical condition that causes your lower reagen to grow large one of my best childhood friends has the condition and it visually makes your butt disproportionately huge and thickens your thighs in some cases it also thickens your calfs and upper arms if that one woman actually has the condition and takes advantage of what she has with only fans I genuinely see nothing wrong with her. Life be life'n and if her butt really is all fake (her thick thighs included) all that she is really doing is helping people that actually has the condition or those with similar conditions feel better about themselves by seeing an influencer present themselves with a similar body type. But that's just how I personally feel I'm sure others may feel differently about it and that's fine
@@yokomiharuastelan I feel like conditions like this need to be more public. People need to do more research to better understand the world around them.
Wrong. Lipadema has a more lumpy appearance, the woman in the video has it extremely rounded with less lumps, and when you google medical lipadema it looks nothing like her butt.
One of my Japanese friends daughter ( now in her 20’s ) does this . I often ask her why ? She is a very cute and super sweet young lady and doesn’t need this type of stuff . She doesn’t give an answer .
I’ve seen these kinds of photos before a lot on Instagram (also have no clue what the aesthetic is called) and I always wondered why people never talked about it!!! Like you said, no judgement to people who edit their photos (I of anyone knows how difficult and painful it is to struggle with self worth) and I don’t judge these girls either! I definitely think they know how fake it looks and I think that’s probably the point of the aesthetic and I’ll never judge a person for expressing themselves in the way that makes them feel happiest about themselves! At the same time though, even though I’m sure these girls are aware of how fake their photos look, I can’t help but think like you that they must be hiding behind this aesthetic to mask their insecurities. I know I for one have done that sort of thing a lot personally by using alt fashion as a way to draw attention away from my insecurities by making people focus on my style instead. But yeah, I always was curious why I never saw anyone talk about this aesthetic before and so seeing this video made me kind of glad I’m not the only one who’s noticed this type of editing trend!
Unfortunately even outside of Japan people complain about how girls look on these dating apps even for the same reasoning only difference is what is filtered change.
Either way...her butt is ridiculously large and bulbous in proportion to her upper body!! They aren't staring and laughing because she is a "big girl", but because whatever surgery she has done makes her look ridiculous!!! She obviously wanted to look like that...but obviously people are going to stare and laugh...duh!!! Should've figured that out in advance if it was going to upset her...
I live in Japan too and i've been thinking the same thing and no one understands why when I mention it. I have always found purikura photos a bit disturbing as well...
Have to admit, I came into this already having a comment planned "Still not as bad as ganguro/manba/yamanba" thinking it couldn't be worse than that. Now that I have seen the video, I think I have to give up on using that comment.
What concerns me most about these trends is that people don't seem to understand that going under a knife is always a risk to take. You might get bleeding, you might get infected, something can go wrong during anesthesia in general, you might end up not looking the way you hoped for etc... It's nuts.
it hurts that this is a trend still when people can genuinely look very similar due to health conditions- this video felt a lot like HS days of just talking smack on others videos and idk about all that- but I do know with your platform maybe you could talk more about the seriousness of WHY people do this rather than how bad you think they look?
as a small person- this hurts. we ALL have different sizes and should all be valid in their own ways- why do we have to have this constant back and forth fight through the centuries about what body type is "better, sexier" please OKAY we all have preferences but like lets not completely sht on another to make ourselves feel good ya know?

Half of these photos look like a bad taxidermy made by someone whos never seen a human before

I've noticed this trend with a few Japanese influencers I'd look up from time to time. I'm an alternative person, and this aesthetic is really concerning. It screams body dysmorphia 😔
The vkei community is going strong with this kind of editing lol.
As a psychologist....I'm very sad for those people...
As one, what if any insights do you have about people who behave in these ways?
@@anthonynelson6671I also specialize in psych and I have two words for you: body dysphoria
It's so weird to post pictures like those of yourself online. Like...do you not feel weird when seeing people from your social media in person?
I’ve seen these everywhere online, and I DO NOT UNDERSTAND!!
Wait it's real and not youtube content? what?
As a guy, legit that's not attractive. It's honestly creepy. Like really really creepy.
And the worst thing, specifically in the US is that you can't talk about this. Yes I get the need to not bully but this totally falls under "don't talk about women's bodies" and by not talking about it issues like body disnorohic disorder are almost encouraged instead of treated or even addressed.
it actually genially concerns me how extremely insecure these people are when they do that much filter on themselves. even with plastic surgery. people need to stop pushing a beauty trend thats very unrealistic AND unhealthy
Why do you think these people want to look like that irl?
No way this is how I find out Aki does OF
Fr I didn’t know she did
Omg it’s similar to beauty trend in china, small face, long limbs, white skin, thin waist and big *cough. This is so extreme however and a bit scary
tell that to all men around the world who telling them to get bigger muscle by going to gym...
why only speak up about women physique but not speak up about men physique ??
@@andreassetiawan122then go make ur own video speaking out about it instead of only bringing this up when women’s issues are discussed? Also a gym physique is not the same as the beauty standards discussed here. Anyone can gain muscles by working out, but to have a small face/thin waist/big butt you have to alter your bone structure via surgery, for many it is not possible just by working out, making it truly unrealistic.
@@andreassetiawan122who is telling them that? Other men. So y’all tell yourselves. Women typically don’t idolize the muscular bodies men do, so this is silly ignorant shit
Amazing video akidearest,fantastic job. It’s so ridiculously how far people would change there appearance to get noticed by people,it’s so dumb they should be happy what they have in life.
Being born with a BLL??? "I am a big girl" with super skinny waist???
These people do not think general public to be as smart.... I don't know if this is a form of narcissism in a lighter sense but the audacity is undoubtedly real!
If you're talking about Gracie Bon you need to look her up. RUclips, IG and Pinterest. She's not even from Japan let alone living there.
Tbh, she could have lipedema on her butt and upper legs. Her legs didn't look sure thin as well, which makes me think it's possible it is actually "what god gave her", meaning having a condition.
@@Luxxannethank you for bringing this up! Most people just want to jump on the bandwagon to make themselves feel superior. It takes courage and a good heart to go against the flow and offer an explanation or defend someone, especially a stranger. I went to school with a girl whose body shape was just like this, slim except for her butt, hips, thighs. As I was skinny except for my own big backside and bigger thighs than I thought a dancer should have, we shared many of the same insecurities. It was early on in our friendship when she said what her condition was and for the life of me I can't remember, but lymphedema is the most likely. On the other hand though, this lady shouldn't be dressed like that in a place that caters to children and families and act all surprised and upset with people gawking ( that's what she was after to get the "views ") and that parents would want to shield their children from that type of display. It's just not normal to want to wear revealing attire to go to a place that's meant for children. Like everything in life, there's more than just one side to things. Thank you again for pointing out that she could have a condition and if so she didn't choose to have that body shape and I'm glad she's accepted herself. But now she needs to work on appropriate attire for certain places, just like everyone else has our own things to work on.
@@who4743they are not reading allat 💀
As someone with a natural 50in hip and small waist hard agree. It doesn’t even move in the slightest???? God given? Wouldn’t be surprised if this was just to get attention on her account but hey it worked she got her bag 😂
As someone who have been roaming around Chinese social media, I 100% confident to say this trend isn't something new at all and is most probably a norm that is going to get memed 😂
Matt looks so much better with his before. Not because I’m into Asian looking people, but because I like natural looks like that so much better. It’s a shame someone has to go through surgery just to accept their appearance. we really should have courses in classes available for every single person at the age of middle school age that help them except their appearances as they are.
I think Asian women are extremely beautiful. What makes them beautiful is the black silky hair, tan skin and their beautiful personality. IMHO alterations are not needed
Become dolls. No need for flesh when you can be immortal. Plastic is the future of reality
Aqua's song "Barbie Girl" was a prediction of the future.
Cruelty Squad
Mad Father esque stuff
@@Ozymondias99I'm a Barbie gurl in a Barbie worlddd wrap In plastic it's fantastic. You can brush my hair and undress me everywhereeee imagination life is your favorite
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you.
all of these photos came straight from an analog horror
I think I recognize the girl in the second and third photos. I saw a documentary with her, she's had a lot of plastic surgery (I think she said over 100 procedures) to look like a french doll, and yet she edits her photos as much as she does. She's beautiful and seems really sweet, but girl, whyyy 🙃
Lmao! The slowed down guy looking at her but, and the "What God gave me" segment had me in stitches Aki!
The 'One Piece' line sent me!!! Guuuurl they trying to look like Boa Hanncock!! xD
*spit take*
9:31 I beg your fucking pardon?! Since when was this?!
I came to the comments to find someone mention it
Been trying to find comment that mention this cause whattttt
same
LITERALLY. She mentioned it so casually?? I guess that’s one way to fund video productions..
I found it..
Where does this insecurity induced body dysmorphia come from? I recall purikura having editing capabilities like this for a long time - to lighten skin, make eyes larger, & make faces smaller - so I imagine young girls growing up thinking it was a good thing because their friends all agreed it was an improvement & now can’t live without it as an adult.
It is even worse that Japanese culture isn’t big on dealing with mental issues, so this insecurity is never addressed via therapy which, in turn, can develop into an obsession with plastic surgery & unrealistic body ideals.
It's the funniest thing when people with BBLs talk about being big 😀. Like no baby you're not actually plus-sized. You're still skinny AF lol
BBLs?
@@lesleycouch6557 brazilian butt lifts i think
@lesleycouch6557 Yes, that's what the girl at Disneyland has, a Brazilian butt lift. Which also includes liposuction.
@@dreajp Thank you 👍
@@lesleycouch6557 Of course! I also have no problem with BBLs. I do prefer natural bodies whether they're slim or thick. But to act like all that is what God gave you? 😀 No
It's mostly for privacy. That's why people use pictures of food and pets. The doll like faces are meant to be sarcastic and fun.
The actor/musician I follow, he only posts half of his face or an eye peeking out from a corner, to his account. His agency made it illegal to distribute his photos and images outside of his fan club and approved platforms.
We call exclusive to Japan artists like this "premium boys/girls".
Matt is an idol thet plays an android character.
8:34 The look on the kids face and the "what god gave me" she said right after made me die lol...
it's not even just japan,this trend is really popular in Korea and china was well.
All the Chinese douyin videos where they edit themselves to look like this 👽
It’s very sad we can’t love ourselves for who we are.
lol the disneyland girl looks like squidward when he exploded from too many krabby patties
That second picture looks like a jump scare. It was scary.
3:27 people are complimenting her because people used her photos on stab twitter and floptok for memes. The people commenting mustve been happy to find the original photos i guess
I got a gut feeling these comments were sarcastic and ironic.
Matt kuwata looks like how oli London looks trying to look like jimin 👀
I appreciate you so much, Aki !! Most ppl are sugar coating these things so much
Honestly, this 'trend' blows my mind about east Asia. Like, the total disinterest in looking even remotely, passably human. For all the make-up, work and editing that Western influencers use to the point they all look uncannily the same, at least the look itself is vaguely human. Like you could almost believe by random luck someone could be born with those good genetics. But then you see East Asia's 'influencer' beauty standards and it's like they're trying to appeal to Florpblox followers from Eredani Pegasi 6 or something.
i went to south korea a couple of months ago . cos i just wanted to cross it off my bucket list of places to go before i get old . and it was a real eye opener . alot of people look the same there . the beauty standards . white skin , micheal jackson nose , same haircuts . i was like . the heck is this . im glad i was only there for 8 days . tbh . i like Japan better . in Japan you see alot more real people
She built for the Canvas WEBTOON MCs
I just love the intro, you're a very nice person.
Body dysmorphia is one hell of a drug
mm, very horrifying. glad to see we're well on our way to cyberpunk body horror
It never crossed my mind Aki had and only fan !
body dysmorphic disorder is a sad thing
02:40 oh, that's SlenderWoman.
Aaand do glad Aki said the same thing. 😂
The kid with the huge glasses at Disneyland gets me everytime.
AKI POSTING ON MY BIRTHDAY IS THE BEST PRESENT EVERRRR 😆😆
Happy birthday
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎊
Happy birthday! I hope good things come your way! 💕
happy birthday, hope it’s a good one
Happy Birthday! I hope you have a great day!! 🫶🎂
9:01 She just forced that kids biology to hit puberty LOL
I hope your legs are just fine now, Aki 🥹
I personally think they really are just trying to look like anime, which then brought back a memory of a person I learned about back then.
Björn Andresen, the most beautiful boy in the world.
From what I was informed, he was said to be the inspiration for anime boys back then.
new beauty standard unlocked: Gorgeous Alien Look 👽
🤣
日本ではこういった加工や整形と自閉症との関連があると話題になります。日本では高機能自閉症の割合が海外に比べて高く、特に女性は潜在化され研究が進みません。自閉症＋ADHDで日常生活を営めない女性(しばし男性も)が病院で検査を受けるも高IQな為福祉が受けられず、ASDの強迫観念が自身の顔にまで向き整形に走るケースが多いです。
This is one of the earliest videos I've gotten to in literal YEARS! I love these newer videos Aki! keep it up!
It's screaming body dysmorphia :(
Super BBL lady built like Mewtwo
Just like Mewtwo, might be reconstructed
It's an actual condition
@@belle3770 Body dysmorphia
Her 🍑 is actually her natural 🍑. It's everything else she's had reduced and sculpted to make it appear even bigger. She used to have more of a tummy that you'd expect on a women that never actually works out or eats healthy. And she's had some face work done too.
"THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT FREAKING HUMANS, OKAY??" is the thing i instantly thought of when i looked at those photoshopped images lol
Lipedema is a real medical condition that causes your lower reagen to grow large one of my best childhood friends has the condition and it visually makes your butt disproportionately huge and thickens your thighs in some cases it also thickens your calfs and upper arms if that one woman actually has the condition and takes advantage of what she has with only fans I genuinely see nothing wrong with her. Life be life'n and if her butt really is all fake (her thick thighs included) all that she is really doing is helping people that actually has the condition or those with similar conditions feel better about themselves by seeing an influencer present themselves with a similar body type. But that's just how I personally feel I'm sure others may feel differently about it and that's fine
was searching for this comment, thanks for explaining it. Feel absolutely the same, need more upvotes
@@yokomiharuastelan I feel like conditions like this need to be more public. People need to do more research to better understand the world around them.
Wrong. Lipadema has a more lumpy appearance, the woman in the video has it extremely rounded with less lumps, and when you google medical lipadema it looks nothing like her butt.
One of my Japanese friends daughter ( now in her 20’s ) does this . I often ask her why ? She is a very cute and super sweet young lady and doesn’t need this type of stuff . She doesn’t give an answer .
I think Matt kuwata used Edward Cullen's as a reference like GOD DAMN HE'S GLOWING TOO
I just had the same thought!
I’ve seen these kinds of photos before a lot on Instagram (also have no clue what the aesthetic is called) and I always wondered why people never talked about it!!! Like you said, no judgement to people who edit their photos (I of anyone knows how difficult and painful it is to struggle with self worth) and I don’t judge these girls either! I definitely think they know how fake it looks and I think that’s probably the point of the aesthetic and I’ll never judge a person for expressing themselves in the way that makes them feel happiest about themselves! At the same time though, even though I’m sure these girls are aware of how fake their photos look, I can’t help but think like you that they must be hiding behind this aesthetic to mask their insecurities. I know I for one have done that sort of thing a lot personally by using alt fashion as a way to draw attention away from my insecurities by making people focus on my style instead. But yeah, I always was curious why I never saw anyone talk about this aesthetic before and so seeing this video made me kind of glad I’m not the only one who’s noticed this type of editing trend!
Urban horror story in the making
Unfortunately even outside of Japan people complain about how girls look on these dating apps even for the same reasoning only difference is what is filtered change.
3:17 this one is straight up nightmare fuel
8:14 she was a big girl before she had surgery, everything from the waist down is natural
Either way...her butt is ridiculously large and bulbous in proportion to her upper body!! They aren't staring and laughing because she is a "big girl", but because whatever surgery she has done makes her look ridiculous!!! She obviously wanted to look like that...but obviously people are going to stare and laugh...duh!!! Should've figured that out in advance if it was going to upset her...
" this is what god gave my"
(me) What, Two Balloons the fuck.
10:41 is basically japanese oli london 😭
Jiafei floptok aesthetics 🤭
I live in Japan too and i've been thinking the same thing and no one understands why when I mention it. I have always found purikura photos a bit disturbing as well...
6:41 "YAY aww" Anyone who ever stepped behind one of those muscle cutouts on the beach, only to step back out.
Before this trend: 👩🏻
After..... : 👽
The second one genuinely will be in my nightmares
There's not enough drugs to convince me that that's a good idea for a beauty trend.
I choked as she put up the picture it's giving giraffe
This is what it must be like to look at Barbie dolls whilst enduring an LSD trip gone bad.
Have to admit, I came into this already having a comment planned "Still not as bad as ganguro/manba/yamanba" thinking it couldn't be worse than that. Now that I have seen the video, I think I have to give up on using that comment.
Wait why is thoses fashion styles as worse as this ?? Sorry if i sounded rude
What concerns me most about these trends is that people don't seem to understand that going under a knife is always a risk to take. You might get bleeding, you might get infected, something can go wrong during anesthesia in general, you might end up not looking the way you hoped for etc... It's nuts.
it hurts that this is a trend still when people can genuinely look very similar due to health conditions- this video felt a lot like HS days of just talking smack on others videos and idk about all that- but I do know with your platform maybe you could talk more about the seriousness of WHY people do this rather than how bad you think they look?
as a small person- this hurts. we ALL have different sizes and should all be valid in their own ways- why do we have to have this constant back and forth fight through the centuries about what body type is "better, sexier" please OKAY we all have preferences but like lets not completely sht on another to make ourselves feel good ya know?
I felt the same way. I was looking for more comments like this cause I know I’m not the only one who felt weird with this video.
3:16 they’re praising bc that’s a meme lol she slayed
10:27 reverse Oli London💀
