literally every anti-polyamory caricature I've ever seen has just been filled with this latent rage that people that are "ugly" or "weird" are able to be desired by multiple people. fat people, autistic people, people who talk weird or have disabilities or even who are a bit cringey about their relationships - there's just a desire to discredit the fact that they're wanted and loved by portraying their relationships as intrinsically shallow. it could not be more of a self-admitting L if it tried to be. mad that people you hate are still capable of being wanted aren't you!

intrinsic in anti-polyamory caricature also is often the assumption that "weird" and "ugly" people are simply settling for each other because they can't get anything "better." it's the assumption that monogamy with normatively attractive people Must be the universally desired ideal and that anyone who doesn't want it is either lying to themself or is simply a pervert. which is, again, a self-admitting L. just say you're shallow and you can't understand why people might want different things than you do lmao
