    I’m now at a point that I can’t watch American media at all because everyone just looks the fuckin same.

      What’s is this with the teeth? Are they all wearing fake teeth? Don’t tell me everyone has such a great mouth hygiene and dental care with sugar in everything you eat in US?

        Serious answer? Yes. They often have either bleached teeth, which eventually destroys them so then they need veneers (fake front) and after that they get dentures.

          What.

          Just…what.

          Where are you getting this information? You’re talking about the US, where we have excellent healthcare for people who can afford it, and those people can fuckin afford it.

            Americans have really white teeth compared to the rest of the world, especially in hollywood

            Imagine thinking that

            where we have excellent healthcare for people who can afford it

            Is something to be proud of.

              I don’t think that was being stated as a point of pride. It’s just the shitty state of things here.

              No, you were very much misreading the comment. They just threw a crazy factoid out there. And then followed with a non sequitur about “rich =/= smart.” And why would my confusion mean I love privatized medicine?

              I mean, you’re not wrong about me being smarter than the rest of you. I’m just choosing to ignore the part where it’s only in my head. Because I’m so much smarter. (jk)

            Unfortunately it’s true. It’s pretty well known in beauty/aesthetic procedure spaces, which many celebrities inhabit. It’s why so many have samey looking teeth, it’s wild.

            its not completely wrong. getting cosmetic veneers is a pretty common practice in hollywood. they don’t cause your teeth to decay or whatever, but lots of celebs have them.

      Usually I don’t notice but it was pretty jarring in Book of Boba Fett. The guy was all dusty living in a desert and then he smiles and his teeth are blindingly white. I was like… Damn Disney you can’t afford the makeup department to dirty those up a bit?

        Might not be any bacteria that cause tooth decay.

      It’s even sadder when you have an actor(ess) that is beautiful in their own way and then gets surgery or something else to conform to the way everyone else looks.
