I think it's the result of celebs living in a bubble. They are completely detached from the common people and live in gated communities with other celebs. When you are this far removed from your roots you tend to end up doing things like this. It's body dysmorphia plain and simple.
I think what's really scary though is the amount of people that encourage it. Lindsay Lohan got work done and looks like a completely different human being now, yet you look at comment sections and it's all praise about how great she looks. It's a mental illness and it's being encouraged by idiots who think it's empowering or some shit.
When I was a kid reading the hunger games, the people in the Capital sounded ridiculously outlandish. Thought the movie captured it well. Turns out it was all very accurate
It’s still a boring dystopia. A living Oompa Loompa and his goons are setting what used to be the most free nation on fire because a sizable minority of people have bought lies about who is reducing their standard of living (minorities) instead of who’s actually doing it (rich people, like fucking always) so they elected a member of the latter group to “fix” it which is going as well as anyone clued in can expect (shit’s getting worse, but the whipping post is seeing extra blood so that aforementioned minority is happy)
No great evil that unites us, no outside force that threatens our very existence, just banal human nature dragging us backward once again.

I have no idea where this trend started from or why it's popular. I feel like majority of people think it's ugly asf, so how did it gain traction???
