Quote:It is subjective and acknowledged by the majority. See what I said previously.Not only acknowledged, but people respond positively to it more likely. Why do models always follow the beauty standard of proportional body and facial symmetry? Because society sees it as the ideal beauty. If we are not going to call it objective, then ideal will represent what society thinks of such beauty.
Quote:You would be kind of an asshole.No, that's subjective too
Quote:You did it again. Most people in this world also agree that there is a magical creator deity up in the sky. Do you agree with that? It's the majority!Weak analogy fallacy. What has god got to do with beauty?
It doesn't change the fact people are more likely to respond positively to some sets of beauty.
Quote:Unhealthy does not mean not beautiful. The undeveloped countries that are westernizing are likely to adopt the western standard of beauty.Then you corroborate with my view. The 1% of people that disagree are an exception, and exceptions do not invalidate the general rule. You and I seem to acknowledge the same pattern of beauty cherished by societies, only that you call it subjective and I call it objective. For me it's completely irrelevant what happens in the past and what will happen in the future, it's also irrelevant that other cultures think differently, I couldn't care less about them, considering that those cultures might also think genital mutilation and sexual discrimination are commendable moral acts. I determine objective beauty inside a society and a culture, on the present time. Worldwide, you are right that beauty is subjective at least for now, but inside every society there is a set of objective beauties, when everyone can become a model independently of their looks then I will believe beauty is subjective.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
