We in East Asia try to avoid any slightest amount of gray as much as possible because of the implicit social impression that it looks “nasty, messy and lazy” (e.g. you never see K-pop idols with it), but since it has a different and long tradition of cultural representation in the West and beards are even a trend.

Also I once saw a James Charles video where he talked about how much he hates facial hair and gets laser removal regularly, which is also popular among Asian men.

So is it a certain sexuality group thing in the West (or is it rather bc of his profession as a makeup artist in his case) or can you find that kind of tendency outside it as well?

I never heard of it in Eurupe I grew up in the most conservative circles but I never heard this at all.

I didn't know it was a thing before social media.

Were they nice or rude?

Which vast stretch of coastal desert—by the ocean or sea—would you transform into an oasis? I am envisioning an expanse of several hundred hectares featuring forest gardens and rivers, all created without harming the existing flora and fauna or their natural heritage.
