Toxic beauty standards in China

Again with subjectiveness. The women are doing this themselves. Men don't force women to do things. Just like in the west the women believe being a whre with a high body count is a positive thing. How is one different than the other?

But most importantly, the women in this video don't actually look like that themselves. They use A LOT of filters and apps to alter their appearance and don't actually look like that in real life.

[@ram47863]

I watch the news about a lot of woman in China who did plastic surgery I guess a lot of girls in this video already did plastic surgery(than only just using filter) only 1 or 2 have their real face since birth Or maybe make up, Because Chinese make up are witchcraft

[@GabrielGarcia-300]

No, it's a lot of cosmetic products and plastic surgery. Watch their makeover tutorials it's crazy. I've seen girls in person that look like this in China and Korea. So definitely not a filter

[@pyroteknikk3127]

Why would you even wanna look like these things they look like aliens

[@garfieldroscharch]

It's makeup, you'd be surprised what makeup can achieve

[@GabrielGarcia-300]

@garfieldroscharch especially in Asia. Every convenient store I went to in Korea sold those weird trips they can put on their face to make their face look thinner and cheeks bigger. Hard to explain, but the beauty standard there is so wild they sell products in a convenient store

[@LeviAckerman-w6l]

It's creepy they considered child like features attractive 😶

[@verenamenzel8958]

you' re right -they hate ordinary women and prefer human dolls or child-looking ones. I find that dangerous and women hostile. This trend you can find in any asian reality show, movie, series.

[@virtual-viking]

It's called "neoteny", and it's basically the main trend in the evolution of our entire species. Humans are ridiculously neotenous in every way.

[@jshaggy3317]

American men are no different

[@Daturadatura]

​@@jshaggy3317American men seem more into teens, not actually toddlers and 10 year olds like China, Korea, Japan etc. Well... apart from all the anime loving gamer type of American men I guess.

[@cherrys7770]

So i was considered not attractive for having them, and now I'm just attractive...for creeps?

[@goldenhourss]

To be fair, asians have more neotenic features, myself included BUT these standards are still gross. Found out how they are prevalent also elsewhere, which is alarming

[@Mokawoo]

That’s exactly why I date people who also look young but are the around the same age as me. My brother who’s 27 is married to my sister in law who’s 22 she’s younger but she looks exactly the same age as my brother because of our genetics. I just think it depends but also I think you can spot a creep when they look older and are older but wanna date somone who looks and is young.

[@kairimon4669]

You know, looking cute doesn't always mean looking like a child. Also, most of the the girls in this video don't look like a child to me. Yes, they prefer the cute and innocent beauty, but it doesn't necessarily mean they like children! You guys also have to take note that asians have softer face features in general than people from western countries. I don't say their beauty standards are not toxic, just wanted to say cute doesn't mean child-like.

[@Marcus.kc273]

wrong! I lived in china for years up until I was 13 and put in foster care. A lot of the older women and men were weird about wanting child like partners.

[@riceball100]

I don't think we can compare Asian and Western beauty standards here because Asian people have different facial structure that keeps them looking similar age for a longer range of time. I think it's easy to call one toxic but neither is good nor bad, but we all must be aware of those who may abuse it though

[@lethamash7784]

their beauty standard is infant like features which is very different from adult youthful features weirdo

[@Cesar-jh1ho]

But dont forget that once they hit 25 max 27 it dont matter their value drops which they call left over women and its a big problem do to the one child policy made it that there are more men then women and still those that are called left over women need to search for foreign men.

[@rotinasemroteiro]

Every time someone says around me that their personal appreciation is for someone who looks really young, a huge red flag is raised. An entire country is even more disturbing.

Beauty trend in china: ‘Filter’

[@ya-no752]

Ya no, it might look cute but definitely not attractive enough to get romantic feelings at all what so ever. These are more like creepy beauty standards. Why do they want the woman looking like kids? I feel bad for the woman out there being shamed simply for aging or looking like and adult.

[@Anohita-rf7hj]

IDK.I am an adult woman, I am not from China, and people say that I am 'not attractive enough' because I have a more 'innocent and child-like' personality and general appearance; (not that I am naive or submissive or dependent or any of that shit which women like me seem to be believed to be; a belief which is so hurtful actually)...The Chinese beauty standards made me feel appreciated, and made me feel for once that I don't need to be a so called 'baddie boss bitch' or like a grave middle-aged matron to be attractive.😅

[@Anohita-rf7hj]

I dunno man...I am not from China, and people say that I am 'not attractive' because my personality and general appearance are 'too child-like and innocent' to be alluring (I am a legal adult).Hearing about the Chinese beauty standards made me feel appreciated, so I don't hate them...

I agree with the comments, this is pretty sick, but I would like to remind that also some of our beauty standards have childlike feature, for example having no body hair, expecially not having them on the Hoohaa is a childlike feature. But I’m glad this is slowly vanishing

[@xiba8703]

this is mostly just the ideal of the males in china, but yes, those men describe their ideal types as literal childs like: cute, innocent, pure, large eyes, petite/small body, high pitched voice, sweet hearted, flat body, needs to be protected. those are actually the most used worlds for males in china describing their ideal girl.
