Re: The salt in this thread is kind of pathetic.

There's definitely anger and irritation that OP dares to enjoy conventionally attractive women,

In a few comments, maybe. But I don't think it's representative of the tenor of the thread in the way that you made it out to be. And where there is strong disagreement, it's not entirely about OP "daring to enjoy conventionally attractive women" - it seems to be more about people just liking the movie as it exists better than OP's preferred version of it. Which I think is a valid response.

OP doesn't elaborate on what is "hot" to them at all, they could want anything from a small-chested butch-haircut boi in the role to the most botoxed woman ever to exist, literally the only qualifier we have here is that they don't think Sally Hawkins is attractive, they don't say anything about what "attractive" to them even IS, it's just everybody else thinking they immediately KNOW what OP finds attractive because Sally Hawkins isn't it.

I mean, with respect, charitable readings are one thing, but that seems unreasonable - when you're talking about "hot" versus plain, that's a specific thing, to a certain extent. It's certainly possible that they had some more particular, unconventional thing in mind. I don't know. But to me, it would be really hard to get that meaning from what the secret originally said.

There's one or two comments that are impolite, like the pig one. Sure. But for the most part, I think people are mostly just disagreeing with what the OP said in the secret, which is that they want a less plain actor for the role. I just don't really understand what you want people to do. I mean, the secret says what it says. To me, it really comes off like it's talking about beauty and plainness in a general, conventional way.

But regardless, I just don't think it's wrong for people to disagree with OP's secret.
