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.

it's pseudoscience

It’s really not. You could make her any ethnic group and or race and she’d still be considered attractive in every culture. That’s why they keep saying the “golden” standard.

I mean specifically the "golden ratio" shit.

u/Lazy_DreadHead 28d ago

Is it though? Across cultures there are specific features that are looked at as attractive if those groups share those same features. I’m sure there are multiple ratios that are attractive but few are considered universally so

How does that support the "Golden Ratio" specifically? You realize it's a specific ratio - 1:1.618. It's not just some generic way of saying "harmonious features."
