It's one of the reasons I love consuming old media. Movies, TV Shows, magazines, pictures etc. I love seeing the different faces, crooked teeth etc. I miss it.

The first article years ago was really impactful to me. And this is happening to men too, with looks maxxing and the absolutely bizarre hyperfixation on jawlines and symmetry, precision facial hair styling/curation. Faces with character are disappearing. Alternately, faces with character are even more intensely appealing to me because that sort of rough edged realness is becoming harder to find. I want to see microexpressions and unpolished reactions that only a natural, uncurated face can show.

This is whatever everyone feels inside but can't put into words what exactly has been going on. it's the peak of consumerism and vanity served to us daily so much that some people want to look like it without knowing they're wanting it, it's subconscious.

I call this the "post human aesthetic". I agree with Jia that it's associated to a turn against humanity, but I think it's rooted associating humanity and looking human with obsolecense.
