Whiteism 2019

About Whitening culture in Asia,
My statement is that I see the whiteness beauty standard as a conspiracy theory.
During the interview with dermatologists, I realize that changing skin color is really difficult, but in Asia, women still put a lot of effort to try to become whiter. The reason I use a website to present my project is that my scenario is base on a provocative religion and in the current situation internet is a strong tool to spread the idea.
Basically, I want to use a parallel world to let people who believe in white is beauty check their behavior when they are pursuing it. For example, the advertisement usually showing whitening products with a goddess atmosphere. So in my religion, I also use this as a reference to classify the hierarchy of beauty members.
In this religion, they believe in baby god because of the skin color we born with is the whitest condition we can be. The goal of the members is to have baby skin. all the members of the religion follow roles to eat
