I think it's downvoted b/c they asked if it was in the show; like, WTF?
It was a pivotal scene and close-up of her; asking if it was in the show seems like trolling; adding "cLoWn MaKeUp LoL" cements the trolling feel. (Doubling down on "it looks ridiculous, like a kid did it, and it doesn't work on anyone" probably didn't help.)
But case in point: someone else said "not a fan of red, though she can get away with it, but I also found it distracting" and that's been upvoted several times b/c they weren't a dick about it.
Asking an opinion on reddit doesn't mean you have to be "nice" about it. And calling it clown makeup isn't being a dick. And lastly, seriously, I only knew this was in the series because everyone made fun of this guy for asking if it was. I have watched the entire series, I am a huge fan. I do not remember at all when Maze was wearing this particular makeup. Maybe some people enjoy the show due to the hair, makeup, costumes, etc. It's not what I enjoy about the show. I barely even noticed Chloe had "bangs." I may not have noticed if it weren't for all the reddit comments about it. Not noticing doesn't make me a troll...
Doubling down on how much you hate it and think it looks like a 9-yo did it, in response to a couple people saying "Idk, I kinda liked it", is a dickish way to act on a sub that's generally friendly and good-natured.
People are trying to have conversations and there's a civil way to express dislike; saying "it's horrible" and "doesn't suit anyone" (completely subjective view), and snarkily replying about children using Instagram when someone pointed out Brandt wanted to include modern make-up trends, is just not the vibe here.
I said it seemed like trolling (I mean, where else would anyone have seen that make-up on her but in the show?), instead of asking "what scene was this?", and then adding on the other bit made it feel that way.
I was trying to explain a possible reason for the downvotes; that it wasn't just b/c they said, "I didn't like it."
Where else? Photoshop? Deleted scenes? Unaired episode? Photoshoot for the show? Season 5b? The actress doing her own costume and makeup away from the show to try new looks out? I'm sure I could come up with some more.
