Obviously extremely wrong and extremely racist, but also kink-shaming people with neanderthal fetishes

Yeah, any judgement of their attractiveness aside (in which there is must humor in absurdity to be found) is there some moral imperative to not like neanderthals? It’s like that picture of the monk praying as two women shake their asses at him.

I’m tired of high schoolers being played by smokeshows nearly twice the age of their character. Give me fricked up uncanny child-looking trash heaps with body proportions ravaged by puberty. Aka what 95% of people look like in college high school

I guess at that point you can’t have them :awooga: then which is a deal breaker for HBO and the like

Idk if it’s a real trend or just bias but it seems like there are a lot fewer normal looking people in shows and movies now.

Maybe? I keep going back and forth in my head. I’m pretty sure that beautiful people have always dominated the screen overall. Even the awkward “nerdy” characters in most of the shows I can think of from years back were all just gorgeous humans in semi unflattering clothes and makeup (if even that).

Edit: Like take Alyson Hannigan as an example. She was always a smokeshow but she was also like the go to “awkward girl next door” actress.

Derry Girls does a fantastic job of this. All the actors are late 20s/early 30s but they did great work with the costumes and makeup. It actually feels like a high school

Most importantly, I think, is that the characters are awkward as fuck, dumbass teenagers. You know who else was an awkward as fuck, dumbass teenager? Everyone!

Reminds me of PEN15, the main characters are adults acting as tweens surrounded by actual tweens but apart from wardrobe and mannerisms they don’t try to hide it. Wraps back around to being endearing

having mid 20s adults playing highschool kids reinforces :libertarian-approaching: ideas

no it doesn’t. there is nothing inherent to telling a story about younger people with older actors that necessarily sexualises or justifies sexualisation.

some films certainly sexualize highschoolers and employ older performers to do that—the problem there is the work sexualizing them. no one decreed high school stories have to do that.

I’m seeing this show described as a “dark, gritty teen drama” so like, it’s Skins?

It’s dumb as shit. There’s like a whole arc where this high school girl - again, played by an adult - becomes a cam girl on pornhub (registered trademark) and starts financially dominating random fat guys with small dicks

All they do is smoke weed, have sex, charge they iPhones, be bisexual, and eat hot chip and lie

I’m not gonna say “rich people don’t have drug addiction and trauma,” but it just so happens that every single fucking one of them is fucked up somehow and the only “normal” characters are considered boring

:scared: wait theres actual american skins i was just agreeing with the premise :hillary-disgust:

fwiw euphoria has higher production value and is subjectively a bit better than og skins imo but its the same vibe/genre

My sister watches this show non-ironically, in between bouts of rewatching gossip girl and gilmore girls.

Just based off of the picture on the left I assumed it was some post apocalyptic show and she’s a tribal priestess.

roflmao at the choice of photos, very fair

Here is person A passed out drunk at a concert venue bathroom covered in the kebab they threw up

Here is a glamour shot of person B with movie lighting, makeup and costuming

Conclusion: PERSON A IS A FUCKIN UGGO

These are the kind of people so estranged from make up, lighting, and angles that they might not have noticed the two photos. Like they really, really wanted to highlight the different noses. The same way there’s only going to be one whiteness until one person is left holding a gun to the other, the way they determine it will have to be standardized “no makeup, overhead lighting, naked, fox only, no items, final destination, front+side profile.”
