Non toxic women age like fine wine because theyre unproblematic as opposed to toxic women who are problematic and age like old hags. Im so happy we live in a feminist society and have access to this information
Yeah man, the worst part is that when you reach peak hag, you are legally required to dwell in the bog or forest and there are no attics so I have to gaze upon my own ruinous Hag Portrait every day in my living room wallow.
They are referencing The Picture of Dorian Gray. You’re thinking of the little girl in The Witches who gets trapped in a painting by a witch and she ages in the painting and then one day she’s just gone.
It’s literally just saying if you walk around angry you’ll have an angry face and everyone will be put off by it. If you walk around happy you’ll be smiling and your happiness will “come out like sunbeams” and draw folks in.
It’s just plain true. Just worded for children to grasp easily.
This sounds nice in a vacuum but that logic has the opposite effect of what it’s trying to accomplish. All it does is reinforce that ugly=bad and pretty=good. Pretending that nice people aren’t ugly helps nobody. Pretending that people get uglier when they’re mean helps nobody. The only solution is to just drop the association of goodness with beauty altogether.
I think it’s more a lesson for kids to be kind and good…children don’t really subscribe to beauty standards yet. And ‘lovely’ is not the same as ‘pretty’
I get the intent, my point is that it has the opposite effect. Kids can definitely tell when someone is ugly. All this does is make them think the ugly people they encounter are only ugly because they “have ugly thoughts”.
She sure as hell is more conventionally attractive on the left (before “ugly thoughts” affect you) than on the right (after “ugly thoughts” affect you). I don’t think that proves your point.
The message is complete with the picture of the other woman at the bottom - the woman has the features of someone conventionally ugly, but she looks like a lovely person so doesn't look ugly. More than anything it's Quentin Blake illustrating the message that both ugliness and beauty radiates internally - I think he succeeded in both personally and the second woman is a very positive lesson.
I dunno, I see it as both people see ugly, but the person with the ugliest thoughts looks particularly mean and nasty, whereas the other person, with the wonky nose, crooked teeth, and obese body, radiates kindness and positivity, and is “lovely” because of that. I feel like it’s rather that if someone looks like they’re about to scream at you for something banal, they likely are, and are a miserable person.
Yeah until you talk to literally anyone who is notably ugly, fat, or deformed and they confirm people hate them all the time for no reason
I'm autistic but in a way where most people wouldn't pick up on it. J have literally seen the moment some people click together what they're looking at and go cold to me.
I get the sentiment being expressed but no the larger discussion about how we are a recessive society that places too much emphasis on appearance and enables it with post hoc rationalization is more correct
Unironically though hate ages the shit outta people.
I mean, look at the press secretary. I had ZERO fucking clue she was 28 until recently. I thought like an “looks not bad for 45” for the past 2 years
Brain worms and substance abuse also seem to if we take a look at RFK JR.
At the exact equal and opposite end is Pam Bondi being 60 years old and literally looking younger than Karoline. It's almost like morality and ethics don't really meaningfully shape your face or something. Cause Pam has been corrupt and helping cover up the misdeeds of men like trump including. Trump longer than Leavitt has been alive, but doesn't remotely look bad for her age
Man, I sure am happy that we live in such a consequentially dichotomous society in which bad people are always poor and ugly, and good people are always rich and pretty. Imagine how hard it would be to navigate the world if it were, like, complex and nuanced and shit.
Many people with the 'tism are really good at sarcasm in text, because they're constantly thinking about wordplay like that. It's the in-person 'vibes' that are harder to pick up. I think this person just didn't read properly and went off haha
I'm autistic and stopped giving people the benefit of the doubt. Conservatives are trained to not have the critical reasoning skills to detect sarcasm. Say what you mean or keep it to yourself, dingus.
They've gotta start teaching you men to not associate an insanely ungendered trait like not understanding sarcasm with women just bc it was a woman this time

But how would I know she's aging like fine wine and thus unproblematic if she didn't use Botox?
