Some things should never, ever, ever, be made into a reality.

The amount of gifs and (over)reactions in this thread is hilarious. Frankly, if that's what she wants to do, more power to her. And in unrelated news, I read that as NSFW -not news- which is rather fitting.

Perhaps, but consider:

It's not porn you're looking at. Nor is it really that "disturbing", per se.

So, in a sense, it's "safe for work". And, in another sense, something one might actually consider purposefully looking up while others are around.

Why? To gauge your co-workers reactions. You wouldn't be surprised by the ones that are grossed out. But, what about that one guy who's intrigued?

Food for thought.

Captcha: book 'em danno

What are saying Captcha? Are you saying that creepy guy from accounting is...

Oh God......

It was meant to poke fun at the people that were so horrified but in hindsight I should have made it more clear. I don't actually think this should be NSFW.

Snip.

Decent points, but I still truly believe that lots of people *try* very hard to hate on something because it's the cool thing to do. There is a lot of closet Beiber fans out there, don't let what you hear from them fool you.

Also, the left peak is based on "pleasant aesthetics" and the right is "familiarity". You don't hear people say that anime characters aren't aesthetically pleasing as much as they are "stuuuupid, herp derp".

I don't find it scary, it is just a girl with white make-up to make it look like her eye balls are larger.

Watch the video of her doing it and it won't seem so creepy. You guys are so sensitive.

When I started this thread I called the picture creepy because the contrast between the two girls was so great.

But you're correct that it is just a matter of make up that changes her appearance so drastically. Geishas wear almost as much make up. It's the way the young lady applies it that makes the contrast between herself and the girl next to her so jarring.

The only real concern I have is that the operations she wants to get sound similar to the sort of things professional models sometimes get in order to make it big but which prove harmful to their health in the long run.

Well now this is the very definition of the uncanny valley. Holy mother in hell.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not gonna judge them on what they do with and to their bodies, and I maintain a stance of considering everyone as stupid as possible anyways, but ... it's neither appealing to me, nor can I imagine any kind of twisted mind that actually does find it attractive.

I'm not attracted to heavy women but one of my friends has always been most attracted to big (hefty) women.

Let's be fair to those who do find her intriguing--which I don't. Many men and women find certain individuals appealing because of "exotic" characteristics. To call anyone "twisted" for finding the girl attractive is to willfully ignore the old adage: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Eh?

If you find this scary...welcome to the internet, but this might not be the right place for you.

TBH, I think it's sorta impressive.

While I may not find it that attractive myself, I don't think everyone should be shaming her this way... She should be allowed to look however she wants.

As long as it makes her happy, then that's great. although admittedly, the link is better as that picture makes it look a lot more creepy than it is.

The funny posts are, well, funny, but it's good to hear tolerance and respect for the young lady's right to do things her own way.

And it's good to know that so many people find her plans disturbing not necessarily out of revulsion but out of concern that this 19 year old girl might end up doing harm to herself.

At the core of all of this is the extreme nature of Ms. Shpagina's "make over". It's her body, and she does have the right to do with it as she wishes. That could change if--just for an extreme rhetorical example--she grabbed a knife and started cutting off parts of her body 'to lose weight' or anything similarly harmful or self destructive.

I think most of us would agree that the two girls are doing their "Barbie" and "Anime" things for the publicity.

Are they doing it solely because they're attention hounds? Doubtful.

Like tens of millions of people across the planet they're probably doing this and promoting themselves on the internet because they're looking to make a buck.

Money. Greenbacks. Moolah.

Good for them.

And let's all of us be honest with ourselves AND to each other: When it comes to grabbing public attention to make money, isn't Little Miss Anime preferable---and certainly less ethically questionable---than this?:

It was meant to poke fun at the people that were so horrified but in hindsight I should have made it more clear. I don't actually think this should be NSFW.

Oh, I got that. I was just adding to it.

But really, think about it a second. Imagine you're watching that video and one of your co-workers notices. Said co-worker suddenly becomes very interested. I mean, seriously interested. Awkwardly interested....

 

[Overusedname]

Hm. It's her life.

One of the camera angles in the article makes it look kinda cool, actually.

*shrugs*

 

[Myndnix]

I only just got out of bed. Is this how you start people's mornings, OP? By scaring them out of their semi-concious minds?

Intentional or not...

OT...sort of: that is one of the most frightening things I have ever witnessed. However, I suppose it's her choice...

That is true. I can imagine something like that happening and, sadly, that someone getting a lot of flak for it as well.

 

[Gatx]

I'm going to assume that the effect is mostly from makeup because it doesn't seem possible for human eyes to be that open. Also I wonder if it looks more terrifying without makeup.

 

[Metalix Knightmare]

Good lord people, Franken Fran went into pretty good detail on WHY this would be such a bad idea!

 

[Bat Vader]

I...haven't seen an anime girl who looks like that. Ever.

This is sort of cool, but I think it might have been too much. Still, it is her life. If that's how she wants to be, then that's that. I have the utmost respect for people like that.

I have respect for her too. It takes a lot of courage to do something like that. More courage than I will ever ever have.

 

[CoL0sS]

Don't really care for it myself, but I can appreciate "I'll do what I wants with my body and damn what you think" attitude. It could have unwanted consequences somewhere down the line, but so could drinking and smoking, and a lot of us still do that. Just let the girl have her fun. It's the Internet. <url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ>We've seen worse things, and somebody probably gets off on this.
My concern is, she's probably doing it for all the wrong reasons.

 

[axlryder]

As off putting as I find this on a core level, I'm still somewhat impressed that she's managed to translate the appearance of an anime character to real life as well as she has. That said, why does she have to go for sailor moon eyes? If she toned down the eye make up she'd still look like an anime character. The way she has it totally ruins whatever pleasing aesthetic she might have had going for her. The girl on the right, imo, isn't nearly as horrendous looking. Still disturbingly skinny. All that said, it seems a shame that they've invested so much in a look that likely won't be sustainable for very long (wrinkles are going to mentally destroy those girls ). I'd be willing to bet that their psyches are as superficial as the plastic dolls they're trying to emulate.

 

[Syntax Error]

I wonder if someday we'll see people getting plastic surgeries for the "anime" look.

I had a feeling Franken Fran would be present in this here thread. Never expected to see it on page 1.

I'll stick to cosplays, thank you very much.

 

[Some_weirdGuy]

I wonder how many people read the plastic surgery thing and think it's referring to the girl with the excessive eye make-up
Or better yet, how many people think that's her actual eyes, XD since some of the over-reactions here can't seriously just be talking about the make-up itself.

(I mean yeah, looks kinda weird... but it's just white eye make-up and big eye-lash extensions, it doesn't fit the horrified reactions from some of the people we see here... Or even some of the 'now guize we should all be tolerant of what she's deciding to do, it's her own body' type reactions either XD)

 

[MeChaNiZ3D]

That very photo looks very offputting. But the video, actually not as much. Anyway, part of being an anime character is that you can be drawn from any angle and still look good because your features aren't concrete. You can have a different nose in profile to what you do head-on. But in real life you don't have that luxury, even for an imperfect recreation like this. If anything, I hope this serves as a warning to anyone who is...thinking of becoming an anime character...? (Then again, it's probably just this one girl).

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

What is going on in her head that makes her think that looks even remotely attractive?

Maybe she doesn't care if it's attractive or not...

Just a thought.

True enough, and although everyone should be comfortable with the way they are she has clearly decided to get surgery to appear the way she does. Therefore she looked at herself in the mirror and decided to change her natural beauty for ... that.

Hence the comment.

EDITed to fix an overuse of the word 'look'.

You know when a girl dresses up or does something like that they're not always doing it to attract a guy, they can do it for themselves.

However 3DPD, 0/10 would not waifu.
[font color=f8f8f8]inb4 any comments of how hypocritical my comment is.[/font]

I never implied she was doing it for anyone else, I wondered why she would want to do that to herself.

Aah, nevermind. It takes all sorts, I guess.
