  1. Apply heavy makeup
  2. Get angry at the guy to not recognize you without your heavy makeup
  3. ???
  4. Profit

Live under Dolores Umridge and settle for talking to the mice to keep your sanity.

To be fair, as a real-life comparison, I wouldn’t be able to recognize most celebrities because they look so wildly different out of make-up. I suspect I have partial face blindness.

[-] [email protected] 34 points 1 week ago

When Zoe Deschanel isn't wearing bangs I literally can't recognize her.

[-] captain_aggravated 8 points 1 week ago

Zooey. Adj. smelling similar to a large animal enclosure.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

I think I might have this too, because I'm often attracted to people that others tell me are ugly. I also struggle to recognize someone if they alter something about their regular appearance (like not wearing a hat when they normally do, for example), unless I know them on a personal basis.

FWIW I can still tell the difference between a 8/10 and a 3/10 when it comes to attractiveness. But my scale seems different from others. I actually find people that are usually considered a 10/10 to be less beautiful than a solid 7. There is a threshold where a person becomes "too pretty", and I'm repulsed by it.

This is more common than you might think. There's a reason "the girl next door" is one of the most popular archetypes.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

I can certainly relate. I do not have the traditional sense of what is beauty and what is not. I tend to also gravitate toward more natural beauty; i.e., little-to-no make-up, natural breast (even if they are small), normal fitting clothing, those damn filters on photos.

Not only is it a double standard (how would society look upon men who stuffed their pants), it doesn’t help with my inability to easily distinguish who you are out of a crowd of other people.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Implant technology has come so far that you wouldn't recognize actual normal sized implants in people. It's only the huge huge ones that stretch the skin to the limiit that you could point out. Even the material they use now feels very similar to actual breasts and have a similar shape than what they did a decade ago.

I've met a couple people who have modern ones and it's crazy how good they are now a days.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

I know I do, because I once didn't recognize my own grandfather when I met him outside of the usual context of his home or a family gathering.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Maybe, but you would think he would at least have not recognized that the voice of the stepsister he thought was the real lady he danced with was a different voice even if he had face blindness.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

Voice? Face? O-o-oh, right...

But just to imagine, as a joke...

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

This seems so un-hommer-like.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Maybe it was a joke from him back then too? I don't recall the context, just thought it was funny here 🤣.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Yes, to be fair I was over generalizing. Of course I can remember specific details like hair color, skin tone, etc. Voices and height are little iffy if they are in close proximity of each other. But general attitude of a person is a pretty big indicator as well.

[-] [email protected] 35 points 1 week ago

I've seen some women (usually Asian) in videos who take off all their routine makeup and don't just look like a different person, but like an entirely different ethnicity. it's not always the obviously tiny difference between Clark Kent & Superman.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

And Clark Kent and Superman have massive differences, not just the laughed at glasses thing. There's things like changing his demeanor, the fact that Kent is several inches shorter because he both slouches and uses his super strength to compress his own spine with his back muscles, constantly slightly vibrates at super speed as Superman to soften his features, etc

[-] fsxylo 21 points 1 week ago

He doesn't even need to do all that. Christopher Reeves mastered two different demeanors and when he swaps between them it's surreal. Clark disappears and you see Superman wearing glasses.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

They put tape to move their eyes. Like does that not hurt?

[-] [email protected] 32 points 1 week ago

She should have stayed with her step mother then? I think she would have been happy with anyone who had the authority to get her out of that toxic place.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

Obviously she should have left to live in the forest as a wild woman.

[-] [email protected] 30 points 1 week ago

The Prince is clearly autism coded. This isn't a feminist issue, it's a ableist issue

[-] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago

Homie had face blindness weve been celebrating the wrong moral of the story

[-] [email protected] 29 points 1 week ago

have you seen what people can do with makeup? The prince didn't stand a chance!

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Not even the original, and still using the originals voice... ಠ_ಠ

If you aren't aware, not the original upload, but at least the original video with the person who actually said it: https://youtu.be/QunwzgVENUg

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

It's sad people steal content this way. She's extremely witty, I was laughing throughout this video.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Everyone loves pterodactyls.

[-] fsxylo 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

My favorite is the e girl that takes her makeup off and they're a dude.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Princess Clara stayed single, summoned woodland critters with her beautiful voice (Tara Strong), so they could eat.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

It wasn’t so they could eat

She didn’t know they would kill her little friends and was horrified when she found out

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Yes, I member.
But they were delicious.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

Wow, okay. Next you are going to say that Sleeping Beauty shouldn't have married her rapist. He was a prince, dammit!! \s

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

What is your definition of rapist? Some guy who opens a glass coffin and kisses the corpse on the lips?

edit, oh wait I get confused between sleeping beauty and Snow White, did they both have a glass coffin?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

The prince in sleepint beauty had sex with her while she slept in the original. She didnt wake from the kiss but from giving birth.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Damn. Disney sure diluted that.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

I want to be a Disney princess or evil witch just for that perk.

Go to the woods, live there in piece, give pats to Mr The Big Bad Wolf, talk to trees, chill in a pond with frogs, kill local villagers so I don't accidentally have to interact with a human.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It woulda made more sense as a masquerade ball

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

I suspect the make-up and shoe were a metaphor for fronts and personalities, but that may be a little deep.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Maybe prince had prosopagnosia.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I mean, it wasn't even the prince that looked for her, but that duke guy with the wild moustache.
