Because it seems to assume that anyone who finds her hot sees it as a personal achievement merely because she was never naked in the film? Until I see a fan say "Look how feminist I am, I find this clothed, conventionally attractive woman hot" (which I doubt is the case) OP is just looking for something to be mad about.

OP refers to people with a specific attitude who come off as smug about their crush, though. I don't find it difficult to imagine that there might be some people out there like that.

"Because it seems to assume that anyone who finds her hot sees it as a personal achievement merely because she was never naked in the film?"

No, it doesn't. As the anon you're responding to said "the secret objects to people who think that finding someone hot as a personal achievement." The fact that the secret objects to people like that does not mean it assumes all people who find her hot are like that.

This is another crappy argument I see all the damn time. "People who do X and act like Y are annoying" always gets responded to with "oh, so everyone who does X is a bad person (or 'evil')" or "I do X so I guess I'm annoying. okay." or "oh, so we're not allowed to do X now, I guess" and it completely ignores the fact that the complaint wasn't about people who do X, it was about people who do X AND ACT LIKE Y.

Look, it doesn't have to be that literal, it could be something said as casually as "Rey was hot without even needing to take her top off lol" which gives off that annoying air (and I'm sorry, I'm calling bullshit if you supposedly haven't seen those kinds of comments around on message boards or article posts at least).

OMG yes. This is a thing that happens, men singling out a girl/woman who is the superior exception to her gender because she:

* is a REAL gamer/geek, not a fake geek girl!
* doesn't wear make up to trick men into thinking she's prettier than she really is (unlike those other clown-faced chicks and their deceptive push up bras!)
* will happily eat a double chili cheeseburger, fries and a shake instead of a salad (because that proves she can eat like a man and not like an icky gross girl or someone who's so dumb they enjoy salads)
* looks gorgeous without wearing "slutty" clothes (boo hiss to all the women who "need" to show off their cleavage in order to get attention amirite)

You know that "not like other girls" thing that women do? Yeah, men do it, too.

Men also get it so what exactly is your point?

(Anonymous) 2016-02-11 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, this!

Dudes on Reddit make comments like this ALL the time. They think they're owed nudity from women and if they don't get it they pat themselves on the back for managing to find those women hot anyway (and as an added bonus they usually let you know just how hot they find her on a charming 1-10 scale!).
