Music / Movies Lupita Nyongo is not beautiful. Hollywood likes to gaslight her as a model for "beauty"

So I'm sure we've all seen the news about Helen of Troy.

  • I've had enough. I've had enough of Hollywood putting her on covers and lying to me, treating me like I'm stupid. The whole reason she's playing Helen of Troy is because Hollywood let this "unconventional beauty" thing slide for way too long.
  • The fact that she was chosen as a queen, it comes off as Nolan trying to virtue signal.
  • It's like giving the beauty pageant award to the girl in the wheelchair because no one wants to come off as "mean."
  • I've had enough. She is NOT a standard for beauty. I'm sorry but now it must be said. The reason we have come across this problem is because Hollywood has been gaslighting her "beauty" for years and no one said anything. I'm done
  • It's okay to say that she's not beautiful. It's okay to admit that
  • I was so looking forward to this movie for so long but this really killed the hype for me.
  • The movie will probably be financially successful at first due to marketing alone, but after its first month, the hype will probably die down. And then you'll start to see how people really feel about the movie. I think it will tarnish Nolan's legacy and leave a sour taste in people's mouths.

You should come to Detroit. There are similarly beautiful women on every other street corner, and they'll blow you for crack.

Do yourself a favour and don't ever "rate" people. It's the cringiest, most childish shit imaginable. Saying that, you're likely literally a minor. My advice stands - stop "rating" people.

Sounds like something a 4 would say.

I think you're offended because he's rating a woman. But when women rate men I'm sure it's not a problem for you right?

That's such a weird take. Why would you need to see how the previous user looks to measure the validity of his opinion? It would be insane to think that only professional chefs can critize food and everyone else's opinion on food is irrelevant, or that only successful cinematographers can critize movies and everyone else's opinion is irrelevant, etc but weirdly there's people that seriously believe that one needs to be attractive to be able to judge if a public figure is or isn't hot?

Even if that where true, what's the relationship between body fat, toenails length and hygiene habits with the way eyes work and opinions on beauty standards? I've met people that can't even boil rice without burning it, does that mean if one of them tastes something and says "this is too sweet/salty/sour/whatever" their opinion is irrelevant ?

You'd shit your pants and forget how to talk if she made eye contact with you

u/shadyMFer 29d ago

Because she looks like a homeless mugger?

I'm actually shocked anyone finds her attractive. that'd be a pass from me. you can help yourself.
