    I remember some toxic user recently said she was “not pretty, she’s third or forth tier Midwestern at best” or some shit. People are strange.

      It’s sorta true though for a lot of celebs. There are plenty of people you could pluck off a college campus and put a style team and personal Trainer / chef behind and would look as good as she does.

        I agree, but my takeaway is: humans are so beautiful in general. Like I pass by so many people I would love to paint. I wouldn’t put down one because there is another. Let’s lift us all up.

        I’m sure people would be so denigrating to a man about his looks.

          Obviously society has a more extreme and ingrained beauty standards for women but I think my statement holds for both sexes equally.

          For every movie star there are 10,000 Instagram influencers who are just as good or better looking by traditional beauty standards.

            What I was pointing out originally is that I think it’s toxic to go out of one’s way to shit on a woman’s looks. The fact that it came up is the point, not that famous men or women may not be as attractive as they appear on camera. To me that very much goes without saying.

            The fact that someone found it noteworthy to point that out and then exaggerate it to say Emma Stone is not attractive seems like a pretty shitty thing to do and additionally they wouldn’t have done it regarding a man. It seems like you’re defending that person? I don’t know, I’m not really sure what point you’re making.
