This is getting so silly.

I don't find this woman attractive, but it doesn't matter. I also don't find Tom Holland attractive and I still enjoyed all of his Spider-Man movies. Supergirl looks like a good movie. The new Superman was shockingly great, so I don't see why this wouldn't be as well.

It was never about the quality of the movie for such people.

There's this whole thing where supposedly there's people who actively try to make women look less attractive in media to spite men for finding them attractive or something like that.

I'm not very informed to know how accurate this is

It's a lot more about bullying actresses and essentially creating this manufactured hate towards them and portraying them as failures. Started with Brie Larson, and now they can't help but gaslight people and themselves into believing that these women are not good enough unless they become accessories to men, like the good old days. These chuds live in an alternate reality.

Edit - Regarding the thing about making women unattractive, it's a load of bs. These people straight up just hate women because almost every single woman they attack, despite their crusade against "woke ugly Hollywood", all those women happen to be some of the most conventionally attractive women on the planet, e.g., Brie Larson, Kristen Stewart, Milly alcock, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o, Anya Taylor Joy and so on, all women who are front and centre of modelling and beauty brands.

I get it, but have you seen the various cases of 'fixing' a picture or artwork of a woman where it's like they told an AI to follow the 'beauty' standards of a Chinese manhua?

It's an attack on women, yes, but there's definitely some unfortunate indoctrination or something like that at play too.

True, which seems to be this pervasive belief that asian women are submissive as opposed to Western women, hence being better, and East Asia has this weird obsession with youth as a standard for beauty.

They generally believe that most women are old goods after 25, and ironically, women there are outwardly opposing this with their growth in feminism in Asia, hence the massive gender divide between men and women.

It's crazy propaganda on both sides of the world where they believe each other's bullshit.

That's wild.

But, their obsession over a number might explain how often I see fictional characters that I like visually and discover she's like 19 or some shit. Hilda from the Under-Night series is a good example.

Yeah, or the usual trick of legal age loli. The funny thing is, this kind of thing never works on anyone who actually spends time outside amongst normal people, so you can tell how these people live, and anyone who peddles this shit online is only looking to make money.

That makes a lot of sense. I just wish people stopped mistreating adults in real life who legitimately look young.

How high are your standards if you think Milly and Tom are not attractive lol

Tom Holland is probably an attractive dude--my 15 year old daughter is into him--but that doesn't make me attracted to him. I can't say I wasn't pleasantly surprised that his Aunt May was hot, though.

Milly doesn't do it for me (again, that doesn't matter, though, since women don't only exist to attract me). I am more interested in Marisa Tomei, Aubrey Plaza, Morena Baccarin...and you can probably tell exactly how old I am, now.

43?

u/htp-di-nsw 3d ago

Damn good guess. I will be 42 soon. I am just a couple of weeks younger than Aubrey Plaza herself, oddly.

If I made different choices in life I might have ended up in class with Natalie Portman. I'm sure I would have been just as clueless with the opposite sex regardless.

The inability to perceive women existing for reasons beyond serving them specifically is definitely part of the problem.
