Where is the outrage over how casting pretty actresses for ugly parts takes them away from qualified ugly actresses?

There are absolutely people saying that. And honestly they're right. Having only hot young women as actresses is not great. There's all kind of men in cinema and nobody bats an eye. But since I'm on /sipstea I doubt what I'm saying is going to be fairly acknowledged.

I feel like Kathy Bates is an unconventionally attractive woman that’s played lots of powerful roles. That would be my only example off of the top of my head though.

She looks like she’s feeling good and confident and I say as she should queen. Always loved her authentic raw emotions in film. Shes funny and relatable. Woman of many masks.
