Heuristics is a good device but it doesn’t work with lookism. For example - Baldness isn’t a conclusive evidence for a person to be considered unsafe or ill natured. We can’t determine everyone’s nature by just their looks. “Looks can be deceiving” is a good phrase.
If that is so then they are quite successful. As dems supporters are busy on green pond and WH Ufc while core problems like war, genocide, oligarchy, ICE, Epstein files have taken a backseat.
Yes, beauty standard is historically pretty high in the case of women. The whole women beauty industry make profit off of manufacturing insecurities about their appearance. Worse happen when Aesthetics becomes priority over Health. News related to ozempic (weight loss drug) death has become a common occurrence in the recent years.
Thanks for replying and it provides proper answer to my first question. But I would like to know your opinion on the 2’nd question, “Is negativity of lookism causing people to incline towards lookmaxxing?” (to aquire pretty privileges)
The problem with lookism is that it takes someone’s appearance as face value and judges based on it which is just prejudice. There’s more to a person than its face.
Poor treatment of attractive sex worker compared to unattractive oligarch is not based on appearance. Your example doesn’t help solve the problem of lookism.
Why does society treat people they consider unattractive poorly? Are these social hostilities, dejections, prejudices & discrimination causing unattractive people to flock to lookmaxxing communities?

- Who should get the largest share of criticism society or individuals? Please
be civil in the comment.
Killing is a bigger crime than non-consensual sex because killing eradicates said animal from gene-pool and ends its potential progeny/generation. We try to justify killing of innocent animals because we are beneficiaries of that injustice. Benefits is corrupting our sense of morality. As for Zoophilia, it’s non-censensual sex, less harmful than killing. Killing is also considered a bigger crime (than rape) in jurisdiction of humans.
- Clarifying; “Animals can’t consent thus any sexual activity becomes rape” is related to Animal-Human copulation. As zoophilia was mentioned in previous sentence.
From animals’ perspective, Non-consensual killing is worst than Non-consensual sex (Rape). Their similarities lies in the negation of consent by the humans and both actions are unjust. Humans are just giving out disingenuous arguments to hide their crime of killing innocent animals because they benefit from such injustices.
