So, if I have read this right, you're lamenting how the commercialization of beauty and beauty standards has created a society in which people who don't meet said standards hold less social value than those who do? And that instead of lazily saying someone is beautiful we should actually highlight what we (for the lack of a better word) like about them, thereby opening up the compliment marketplace to more people than the latter group?
If so, I can work with that. I have always wondered why I am 'meh' about some conventionally 'beautiful' people, and find myself captivated by a 'plain jane.'
Your piece makes me realise that the devil is, indeed, in the details.
Good piece, stranger. All I will say is there are un-cancellable alternates in everything. To good, there is evil, to reputable, there is disreputable. To a great piece, there is an awful one: that's language, not programming.
