RE: Funny Internet Language - How to earn a living with your face.
This was intelligent, insightful, and thoughtful. Thanks for sharing another perspective. Honestly I had no idea any of that was going on across the sea.
It's clear that this is a fairly unhealthy situation that needs to change. Articles like this from intelligent, beautiful women really do make a difference by making people really think about what's happening.
Again, great post and thanks for sharing. If it's any consolation I don't vote on your posts just because of your looks. I'm not going to lie when I say that helps, but you're also creative and clearly have a sharp mind.
Again, thanks for sharing.
Thank you @jenkinrocket. This phenomena has actually been brewing for quite some time, it's just been accelerated with all these new social media networks popping up encouraging people to spend more and more time curating their online persona's. It kind of reminds me a lot of the "Nosedive" episode of Black Mirror which I talked about in a previous post.
However, it's also something that I resent some what because society as a whole seems to be shifting towards accepting this "business" and cultivating a whole generation of young girls (and boys) to go this route instead of other careers which might contribute a little more to society outside of Entertainment.

I do not blame these people. As the saying goes: Demand creates supply. Society encourages such "business". To change this situation - need to change society.
I love that show (Black Mirror)! I need to pick it back up, but the episodes are so depressing (even though they're good). I agree that we need to push for more young women, especially to go into STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). I'd say the same is true for African Americans and how we tend to be portrayed in media and are pushed to become athletes or rap artists (not that there's anything wrong with being those! It's just that we also need to be more included in STEM).
Part of being respected within society is being the opportunity to contribute to it in meaningful ways. I understand totally, Sweet.
