it's not the attractive ideal because it isn't healthy? i need to lose some weight and get my blood pressure down for the sake of my own health so i'm not at risk for heart problems later on. but even if and when i do, i still won't be considered the "attractive ideal" because i'm rather plain-looking, and i'm fine with that. i'm comfortable with myself, ideal or not.

i fully admit to being shallow. i want to look at pretty people in my media. if i wanted to look at average-looking people, i'd go to the mall.

It's fine if you're shallow what I'm questioning is why you think only *one* type of person should define beauty. It's actually extremely unhealthy for most people's mental states (there have been studies to suggest as such) and not everyone wants just one type of person in their media.

And health is not really the best definer of what is beautiful, because people can be extremely unhealthy and still be considered conventionally attractive. Hollywood is notorious for this because many men and women in the industry have eating disorders and drug habits.

I'm not proposing "attractive" people be taken away, just that we expand what we consider attractive and give people who want to see other types of people options. I think if you had grown up in a world where different types of beauty was appreciated, you might feel differently about yourself then you do.

i think you misunderstand me. i feel just fine about myself because i'm not personally hung up on physical beauty and whether or not i'm considered conventionally attractive. the fact is, every society in every corner of the world has their own standards of beauty and certain traits that are held up above others. what those traits are may vary, but there is always going to be a particular group of people who are considered to be more beautiful than everyone else for whatever reason. it's just human nature and it's not going to change.

what would be more productive would be working on getting people to stop caring so much about whether or not they fit societal standards of physical beauty because it IS such a shallow thing. how pretty you are has no bearing on what kind of person you are or what you're capable of accomplishing.

Nothing of what you're saying is an argument against body diversity or it's importance though. I agree that we put too much emphasis on physical beauty, but if we didn't don't you think people would be more inclined to put in a more diverse roster of characters in their media? If people cared about beauty less, then they wouldn't feel the need to always have the conventionally attractive dominate every aspect of entertainment.

Whatever your opinion on what really matters in a person, what we do *now* is extremely harmful to people. Whether the definition of beauty needs to be expanded or people need to start caring about it less, either way the best way to accomplish that is to allow for more diversity.

No only that, having only one beauty ideal to look at all the time is fucking boring. Especially when you get into editing and photoshop where they're actually trying to erase all of a person's uniqueness so they look the same as every other conventionally pretty character/celebrity/figure.
