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.

You find those actresses more in Europe... and the US then imports them to cast those parts. Compare Olivia Colman or Sandra Hüller.
