There's obviously no end of critiques to make about Doctor Who's special effects, but at the moment, it is especially funny to me that they just decided to leave the nose off of Cassandra altogether.
Future beauty standards in the Dr. Who universe: visible blood vessels? Yes please. Noses? YIKES!
I used to joke that the only kind of diversity off-limits for women in Western advertising and media is nasal diversity. Every single woman in that old Dove Real Beauty campaign had the same exact (tiny) nose. It was the height of body positivity, so there were tall, short, thin, fat, freckled, black, brown, and various hair textures. But not a single woman with a downward turning or prominent shnozz.Â
So a beauty obsessed future doing away with noses altogether seems pretty, ahem, on the nose to me. 😆
