It is genuinely remarkable how much worse most of them look compared to their old selves. Fucking self-mummification.
They've changed their faces to please the patriarchy. It's not about what types of women those patriarchal men personally prefer; it's about showing those men that they are willing to submit. And it's a specific kind of look. It shows their willingness to be controlled.

They are more likely to die of cosplay-related hyperthermia than almost anything else
"A total of 92 ICE & Border Patrol agents have died in the line of duty since 2003 from various causes."

2025 Was the 2nd Safest Year for Border Patrol and ICE Agents
Being a Border Patrol or ICE agent earns many insults, but words aren’t violence. Neither are they dangerous jobs.
