[CW: is this body shaming? I’m not sure.]

I genuinely find “conventionally attractive” people (like celebrities), well, kind of ugly IMO.

This is particularly evident when you look at game mods where people can create what they consider to be the most attractive characters their imagination allows. I find most of them grotesque even. Exaggerated forms.

Che Guevara though, Che Guevara was hot. So maybe I like some conventionally attractive looks. But you know what I mean. I don’t like muscle men or hyper feminine women. I prefer androgyny almost.

Anyway, just a weird shower thought.

    I think the weirdness comes from putting a value on it. Like saying one is objectively better than the other.

    I like guys who are more often cast as extras or thugs/goons. I like something about average, like it lets me appreciate the unique features because I’m not using a rubric based on society. They’re invisible to the eye of sauron, you know?

    Che was hot though. I don’t care - imagining that charisma and ambition focused on you is such a fantasy. Like
