90% of the comments about it were about how she was mid when she was actually quite pretty
I felt similarly. I know people are meaner online than in person. And I have personally known several people who just have ridiculously high beauty standards.
I didn’t understand it. As a heterosexual man, most women look good to me.
I think it’s like Americans and sugar. So much of our food is sweetened that we have to add extra sugar to our desserts and we think things that have added sugar don’t. Like our bread is too damn sweet. In a society where women are expected to wear makeup, and where most women on tv are gorgeous to the point that beautiful women play “ugly” characters our balance is thrown off. Porn doesn’t help I’m sure, but when it comes to distorting beauty standards, it can’t compare to tv, movies, and influencers. When women groom only enough to be clean it’s treated as strange. It has well known harm for girls and young women and that aspect is spreading to boys and young men. But what we see here is a different form of harm, it’s the loss of taste for what is real and natural, and in the off chance these people find themselves waking up next to a woman they’re in for a bad time.
