      It’s not pandering to children. It’s pandering to “ad-friendly” platforms that otherwise overly or covertly suppress the content

        The only acceptable way to repost that image would be to use Photoshop to undo the bullshit censorship

    Supernormal stimuli

      I have definitely seen naked women that closely resemble that figuring, so I don’t think it is that exaggerated anymore.

      Besides “AI and facetuned images” from OP, another supernormal stimulus that comes to mind is fat anime tiddies.

    How freaking big are Jewel Beetles if they are trying to mate a beer bottle!?!?

    All jokes aside they are not small but they aren’t the size of a beer bottle either.

      I mean there’s an entire category of animated porn involving impossibly large women.

    I find slight imperfections to be beautiful.

    source
    • Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Same, though i don’t even consider them imperfections since that implies it’s in any way negative.

      It’s more like how a perfectly uniform naan bread is just boring and kind of unappealing, you want the bubbles and charring for flavour and visual appeal.

  • Hammocks4All@lemmy.ml ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Apparently they would get so dazzled by the bumpy brown beer bottles that they would incessantly try to mate with the bottles, even if ants started picking them apart.

    I see pictures of people on tinder that are so smooth and unreal it’s fucking creepy. Like to a point where the nose disappears and the eyes are in front of the hair, because they are not real. And i know this is often a social media thing and a body dysmorphophobia problem, but i also wonder who looks at these pictures and goes: ahh yes, the perfect women

    source
    • Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      i feel this about most famous women who are said to be soooo attractive, like yeah sure angelina jolie isn’t ugly but come on how is she more attractive than a normal person? Same goes for bodybuilder guys, it’s so patently fake and harmful to their bodies!

      at least the male hollywood standard can be somewhat sensible, george clooney looks like a real human person even if he’s the equivalent of a freshly groomed schnauzer.

      but really, the most attractive people i’ve seen are just normal people on the street, and that’s without counting the fact that you can actually feasibly get into a relationship with them and they might actually be pleasant to be around.

      source
      • ftbd@feddit.org ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I can see that bodybuilders are not attractive to most people, but how are their bodies ‘fake’? Getting to look like that is hard work, and not just a matter of money, makeup and plastic surgery.

    • Clbull@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Either they’re using a Snapchat filter to touch up their images, or it’s AI slop being pushed to artificially inflate their userbase and make it look like there are actually women on the app…

    I love being a Jewel Beetle. Have you seen them? They’re dazzling.

        Did you not read the post? I am not fucking Jewel Beetles. I am fucking bottle caps. Get your facts right.

      it’s baffling because personally i could rant about how pretty most women are for hours on end, and if desired i can extend that to a lot of guys as well and i’m not even that into dudes.

      source
      • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Yeah, me too. I can appreciate aesthetics. I’m I cishet guy but I can admit that Jude Law or Daniel Craig are very, very pretty. I may not be attracted to them, but I’m not blind.

    Jewel beetles have beer goggles?

    I guess those insects look for “true love” out of the corks…dunno can we say that the males are looking for the same thing out of AI.

    What looks good is what looks good. Don’t feel bad if you can’t compare with a beer bottle.

  • thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    it would be more like if someone intentionally painted that bottle to attract them then irritated that design using an the money in the world to perfect it. it’s almost electric horror shit if it wasn’t just another person trying to make money.

  • Arigion@feddit.org ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I first thought they now think that people drinking beer from a bottle look like mateing jewel beetles.
