straight up not only is moralizing appearance shitty because people in your life will find out that you think they're ugly, it's also a suuuuper easy stepping stone to racism because a lot of features the zeitgeist deems "ugly" are features often found in marginalized groups.

like, i mean, think about what people deem ugly and use as shorthand for "villains" in stories. crooked teeth, being fat, darker skin, bigger noses, hairy bodies; i think if you apply some critical thinking you can see where these ideas come from and why tying them with being "evil" is bad

The computer screen hates me, and wants me to suffer. But if I spend a few more hours a day looking at it I can probably change its mind
