We've been pressured into pretending everyone is beautiful, except for those who actually are
Are Sydney Sweeney’s breasts double-D harbingers of the death of woke?
This is what the public is asking, at least those on social media, after the Euphoria actress garnered a particularly large audience as host of Saturday Night Live (SNL) last week. Sweeney is obviously a conventionally attractive young woman; and if you don’t personally admire her beauty, we can certainly all agree that she’s got a voluminous appeal. Sweeney knows this and runs with it, playfully owning her sex appeal with zero apologies. On SNL, she bulged from her tops, self-deprecatingly suggested that her breasts are her backup career, and — now virally — donned a Hooters uniform for a rather unsophisticated sketch dedicated to her overflowing cups.
Exactly how this led to a cultural cataclysm over beauty and wokeness can be summarized as follows: We’ve spent years being chastised for desiring or admiring beauty — because beauty is rare and exclusionary, and to exclude is to hate — or so we’ve been scolded to accept by today’s diversity, equity, and inclusion fanatics. We aren’t supposed to admire Sweeney’s beauty; but we’ve done it anyways. The times, they are a-changin’. Aren’t they?
Recall the words of unrepentant thought criminal Jordan Peterson on the plus-sized model that graced the cover of Sports Illustrated two years back: “Sorry. Not beautiful. And no amount of authoritarian tolerance is going to change that.” To this day the man is partly facing censure from his professional regulator over these words. We’ve all been pressured into pretending that we are bad people if we aren’t attracted to every influencer-wannabe who is unattractive by any reasonable standard of beauty.

TTIUWOP!
Read Song of Solomon, then ask again.
She isn’t THAT pretty. She is OK of course, and she does have...assets. Much better that she laughs at herself as, say Dolly Parton used to do.
A woman with a sense of humor is better than a Miss Universe.
And that is true, its far from the best. And she really isn’t all that pretty in a conventional sense. Her best asset is her active face and her vivacity. Best appreciated in motion.
That said, yes, Sydney Sweeney is a beautiful young lady, but I've also seen pictures of her that are totally horrendous, and that holds true for all actresses, all females.
It's OK, you can come the rest of the way out of the closet.
She is incandescent.

She is okay, but I like her necklace ++++++++.

I saw the headline, and was sure it must have been posted by another FRpr: Oldguy. The poster from Australia, who tends to obsess about long dead female movie stars from the Golden Dr. He sddms to annoy some other FR posters. perhaps due to his odd way of expressing himself. but I thought he sas alright, just somewhat off the wall. Haven’t seen him here in a while.
Golden Dr. = Golden Era.
I married prettier. No joke. Think Linda Ronstadt. But she can’t sing.
Here's her mom (and an unidentified gentleman) wearing "Make Sixty Great Again" red ballcaps.
And here's Sweeney restoring her 1969 Ford Bronco (she has a whole TikTok channel dedicated to the restoration.
She seems like a cool chick.
unflattering? maybe. but definitely not flat.
