So obviously, the photoshopped versions are what all these people would like to look like? Honestly, what is wrong with all these people? Their aesthetics look like diseases. And now guys dream about tightlacing themselves - that's reverse sexism.

Just to be pedantic - there is no 'reverse' sexism. There is only sexism, where one is treated a particular way due solely to their chromosomes.
