@strmseeingreen@s_agyehu Even 2017 is kind of outdated tbh, that’s when the whole “clean gyaru” trend was going around and gal was basically considered a somewhat dead subculture
@s_agyehu To be honest just look at JP gals on twitter, i’m not necessarily a big fan of recent reiwa makeup that’s portrayed in egg, but I noticed you can find decent reiwa style gals in groups like LOALO and maybe even looking at concafe pages, it’s like a cheatcode lol
i do also think a lot of ‘x alt style is supposed to be ugly’ comes from the idea that a negative opinion must be morally justified. you must dislike it bc it’s meant to be disliked
@palepowderpink mostly gal related stuff & debunking misinfo engrained into the community, it wasn’t anything too too crazy though, but i did gain like a little over 9k followers just posting what i did and i feel like that big amount of attention was very distracting
Anyways, hi guys, the reason I deleted my old account wasn’t because of anything bad, i had fun posting controversial opinions/hot takes, interacting with everyone, even learning more about this subculture
but, it was taking up a lot of my personal time

@SpecialNeets I objectively didn’t change the proportions, i just drew more flattering makeup, if anything the girl’s facial proportions are based on my own, i know this because the borrom drawing is based on my first ever attempt at manba like 6 years ago lol
@robotpierrot@nauseadoll@akumaGYA The point isn’t she’s ugly it’s that she isn’t even doing gal makeup well enough to be acting like an authority on it
@robotpierrot Thick eyebrows are conventionally attractive, the gal style requires thin/lightened brows, it’s not a matter of “ugliness”, it’s a matter of getting your technique wrong
