Literally the only person who should be worried about her appearance is Madonna herself. How is this anybody else’s concern she's a threat to society. disturbing the peace. 4 minutes ago, Trent W said: Most old divas aren’t shamed for their appearance in their 60s. They just got old and it’s natural, people don’t care. Madonna was super hot in her 40s and she still looked great in her 50s. But her 60s were kinda rough and she can’t keep up anymore, the excessive plastic surgery and filters show the excessive amount of insecurity. I think she just needed to accept that she’s really old now and her body isn’t capable of looking younger. She looked great for most of her life and getting old with dignity and boosting her catalog would’ve been great for her. and who are you telling a WOMAN what's great for her?

And what you call her ‘antics’ has been been central to all her advocacy work across the years, for LGBTQ+ rights, for women’s rights, including during the AIDS crisis when very few celebrities dared to speak on the issue. That argument, and demeaning her work as ‘antics’ seeking attention, is what the homophobes and misogynists have hurled at her for decades, so you are certainly choosing to be in good company.

wanderlust Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 this is so true Quote This is no exaggeration. In 1993, a Smash Hits magazine spread printed the words “Calm down Grandma!” over a picture of the musician performing at Wembley Stadium. She was 35 at the time. This treatment has continued, ad nauseam, through every phase of Madonna’s career. In the 2000s, she was lambasted for her arms, with American gossip site TMZ describing them as “bloodcurdling veiny corpse arms”. In another post, they were dubbed “gruesomely muscled arms [that] appear to have been reassembled with the bony remains of a dead cow” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BnPac Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 It's awful how she is being publicly and openly bullied for her appearance and people find it ok. People get surgery because they're insecure, insulting them make them feel even more insecure. Also people say "she used to look hot...I don't know what happened". But even when she was 40, they were making fun of her muscles, that picture of her coming out of the gym extra tired made runs for months and is still being brought up today. She was always called old hag. Sure, she went overboard but at some point, her confidence got shattered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jadeabove Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I don't think the way people discuss her appearance online is okay. I think she does contradicts herself in certain of her life decisions, but it's not for me or for others to be the judge of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gloamingtheplain Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I think the thing is that people are pointing out that she’s had so much work it’s having the opposite effect of what Madonna thinks it’s having. Madonna probably thinks with all these fillers and what not that she looks 27. She looked incredible during the Rebel Heart era and after that she didn’t just maintain her face to age well, she tried to look 30 years younger. And the reality is she’s actually putting herself in danger because every few months her face is becoming more and more extreme and almost like she’s trying to achieve the look that she gets from Facetune. While I do think it’s mean to insult her, I do also think she needs help to cope with her body dysmorphia because she’s clearly now got it. She always did tasteful surgery and now it’s gotten out of hand. In her own words “This is your wake-up call” I guess. She’ll probably just continue getting more though until some sort of complication occurs. It’s sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the antics Madonna does that draw attention to herself and her face. If she acted like a sane adult as opposed to an attention-hungry child, she would get much less criticism. Oh hi, it's you again in yet another Madonna thread and yet bashing her like you always do. Are you tired? Anyway, she was bashed in 1993 in her f-king 30s for looking old and being told "Calm Down Grandma." And it got progressively worse especially in her 40s when the media went after her veins (which came from intense work outs) and her "cryptic hands." She has since had noticeable work done every few years. You don't think that was ageism and bullying that forced her down that road? She's not playing the victim here - people have hated her since day 1 (including you, Liddo) and she's made it clear she will do what she wants without apologizing. The only attention seeking I see is people like you that use the negative media as a crutch to continuously hate on a celebrity you despise.

It's kinda sad. Yup - in 1993 she was bashed for her lesbian haircut. In 1997 she was bashed for being fat (while pregnant). In 1998 it was her crows feet and facial wrinkles. In 2003 is was her flabby arms. In 2008 it was her veins from working out so much and her first noticeable facial surgery. In 2012 it was "she looked SO old during the Superbowl." In 2019 it was how slowly she moved during Eurovision and needed a walker. Now we have "she's so unrecognizable!" Haters have been after her since the beginning. However, I do have to say that a majority of ATRL (besides a few from that stan base) is behind her after her tour announcement and The Grammys. Long love The Queen of Music.
