Comments by "Voryn Rosethorn" (@vorynrosethorn903) on "Japanese Obsession with Double Eyelids (二重)" video.

I definitely think double eyelids is prettier. The examples shown didn't look unnatural which is one of the big issues with plastic surgery. Many plastic surgery operations push people into uncanny valley and they end up looking worse off for it. The funny thing is that I don't know a single man who doesn't find plastic surgery outputting or ugly and I have a feeling that the benefit to women from it is coming from an improvement to self esteem rather than looks. I have also noted that beauty standards are very much internalized among women themselves which leads to very misinformed assumptions about how pretty they are seen as by men. I think it's important that Japanese women know that they are quite beautiful already (but I do wonder how such a message could be sent, I certainly would be in no place to spread it) as they seem to have severe and, from an outsider perspective, puzzling self confidence issues which no doubt hinder them in the rest of their life. It would be worthwhile for women focus less on the cultivation of idealised beauty and instead cultivate their personality, or better yet if they want to benefit society and pursue fulfilment rather than fleeting happiness; get married and have 15 kids.

On one side most African-Americans have by no means insignificant European ancestry (largely Scottish or Ulster-Scotch if I'm not mistaken) on the other I'm almost 100% sure the vast majority of current African ethnicities have double eyelids. It's more that East Asians and some small people groups don't have them than it is Europeans being in any way particularly unique (though if I recall there are some European ethnicities included under the small people groups proviso and some where individuals have a higher than miniscule chance of displaying the trait).
