Why doesn't anyone complain about shows like Dr. Who and Sherlock Holmes?
The main characters are men whom are desired for their massive intellect- one that is so unobtainable it must be carried out by a fictional character. How are we supposed to live up to that expectation? You can get plastic surgery to look like the stars, but no amount of studying will allow one to be so insanely smart that they can single-handedly solve crimes or neutralize dangerous situations. The only reason we demonize those who strive to be the most aesthetically pleasing is because those whom are smart enough to figure out that they aren’t the prettiest have manipulated out culture to value what have. Whether it’s beauty or brains, lacking both will cause low self-esteem, and if you’re going to say that a personality or IQ is more important than bust size or abs, at least realize that you’re comparing two attributes that are both (mostly) determined by ones genetic make-up. Why is it that when someone starves their self to be skinny it’s a disease, but neglecting your friends and family for the sake of knowledge is admirable? Looks fade, but so does the mind.
In summation: Don’t be a self-righteous jackass by telling someone what they find attractive is the wrong thing to find attractive just because you disagree with them.
