I wholeheartedly agree that no one should mock anyone’s physical appearance for any reason but what do you mean “some people are just unattractive?” Aren’t all kinds of bodies supposed to be individually beautiful? Everyone is attractive and it’s your character that truly matters!

Oh I see what you mean, it did come out kind of blunt huh 🙈 My main point was that whatever’s on the outside is the least representative of who you are as a person—like you said, it’s your character that truly matters. I guess what I was trying to say is that, unfortunately, there’s always some people who will be viewed as conventionally unattractive, the definition of which may vary by culture. I know I personally have traits that are considered attractive in one culture, but not so in another, with the definition even varying between different individuals. But at the end of the day, a person’s aesthetic preferences shouldn’t have any bearing on their treatment/judgement of another person, which is why I find it infuriating when a) nice people get treated like shit just bc they’re not considered “good looking” and b) horrible people try to use their appearance to manipulate others.
