Judging people by their genetics has always seemed rather petty to me.
I thought we were judging Sims, not people? Sims don't have a personality beyond what the programming assigns to them, which doesn't leave much to judge them on besides looks/genetics.
Please try to keep up. I said that I find her comments in general sort of distasteful because it reminds me of judging real people by their looks, which is mean-spirited. The judging of the people, not the judging of the sims. She then commented on how she found that surprising of someone who has been here for a bit, since MATY is by nature mean-spirited. I was clarifying the difference between judging people by their genetics and judging people by their actions. Not sims.

Quite so. And at MATY we continuously judge people by their statements, their opinions, their grammar, and their reading comprehension.

Lots of people think Patrick Stewart is hawt. When I was a 12 I didn't see the attraction, but now as a 30 I do.
When I was 10 watching Star Trek: The Next Generation I thought Patrick Stweart was hot. :D
As an adult, I'm not attracted to aged bald men, but I still think he is still damn fine to look at. Which that leads back to the beauty/beholder crap. I find too many unattractive people (unattractive by societial standards) really interesting and pleasing to look at.
Lorelei:
Judging Sims on their appearance is still judging people-shaped flat images on a computer screen, not actual human beings. Just because they look like peple does not mean they ARE people, or that someone's desire not to have "ugliness" in their personal game is somehow wrong or bad, or comparable to being sexist / sizeist / blindly accepting of the fashion industry / beauty industry / mass media's widely-promoted nearly impossible standards of beauty.
If you're cool with letting free-range Townie fug run amok in your 'hood, that's on you.
If you want to BURNINATE them all, that's also on you.
Let's try being a wee bit less F-ly over PIXELS.
Also, as was noted before, the puddings are bad, but Sandy Bruty (Gorilla Fishlips) in TS2 was FAR worse. The TS3 puddings mostly just look too much alike, which is mostly because we only have, like, 3-4 hairstyles that aren't completely horrific, and only 4-5 outfit shapes that don't make you want to throw up, and the default head size is FAT, 100% tapioca and FAIL.

The spikey-haired townie in University was worse than that.
One time I killed off every passing townie with cow plants and the game regenerated new townies, every 1 of 4 had that face.
