OP

Yes, that's what I meant (I'm ESL and did notice that I worded it awkwardly in the comment thread, but I've realized that going back and "correcting" the initial post in a further comment usually doesn't work, so I didn't - no blame to the secret maker(s), they probably don't read the comments under the initial post!).

Why are we insulting their appearance when we could insulting their behavior? What has their appearance to do with anything? It's that annoying "bad person = ugly" trope. People (especially online) already define others and themselves by their looks so much when that's something you can't control, unlike your behavior.

Anon who started the thread: yeah, my explanation for that was because with so many celebrities, what they sell to people as themselves and their brand is inextricably linked with their appearance and style. Nobody really knows them as people so people can only insult what they give us, which is sometimes music, sometimes art, sometimes acting, and often glossy photoshoots where they try really hard to look sexy. When it comes to celebrities saying their music is shit and their style is shit and their appearance is shit and their movies are shit all parse the same to me - all of them are products they try to sell to us and don't parse the same as saying a real person you know is ugly.

If someone's stance is "nobody should ever insult anyone's physical appearance no matter how bad the person is and no matter how much their personal brand was built upon them being attractive, it's the principle of the thing" then that's their stance. But if you wanted to know why other people might do it, this is one explanation for you.
