I'm not stating to respect their beliefs. Neither am I telling you not to educate them and try to bring them to the right perception.
It's just that, how it appears to you (very ugly, very hideous), you shouldn't think that's how it appears to them or should appear to them, given their own experience and understanding.
That, and the praise feedback you get from like minded people, helps you grow stronger in opinion to your view.
But if they face praise consensus against that view in their society, then this is a factor you have to put. We naturally succumb to praise consensus of society.
