(Anonymous) 2013-02-26 12:40 am (UTC)(link)Yes, girls can be shallow. You'll notice I didn't deny that. If what the OP says is true, then those girls are indeed shallow.
However, said girls aren't reducing the character or the actor's worth to just his appearance. They aren't construing that as his only value. They aren't demanding that all men live up to their standards of attractiveness. All of those things would be objectifying.
Recognizing someone is attractive and appreciating it is not objectifying in and of itself, and not sexist. Being unhappy about a bad character being kind of attractive is weird and possibly shallow, but not sexist. No one is oppressed by their opinions, nor do their opinions contribute to an atmosphere where men in general or unattractive men specifically are deemed lesser than women.
Conversely, if the character were a woman, no one would ever pause to consider that they were played by an attractive actress. It would just be taken for granted that women on TV are attractive.
