What, in Heaven's name, is up with traits?! Scary Pic included

It seems to me that we judge females more harshly than males when it comes to physical appearance...
Ah, yes. I wonder when that started.

Please upload that to photobucket/tinypic/wherever rather than hotlinking MTS... you do realize that hotlinking is generally considered to be both very rude and actually IS bandwidth theft, right?
That's right. We don't tolerate no gol-durned thieves around these here parts. We got a rope hangin' from a tree ready for 'em.

Unfunny12 could have easily said "poorly trained plastic surgeon" but instead chose to use wording specifically crafted to disparage a large group of people.
I took that a different way entirely. I think she may have been referring to the "westernizing" plastic surgery that is popular in some Asian countries. I didn't take it to be a comment about the surgeons themselves.
Here's a before and after example, actress Lindsay Price. How tragic.

@Magicmoon,
All I was doing was being sarcastic on both parts. Sarcastic and definitely not worth harping over for even a few sentences. If you've read my other posts (all of them) you'd realize that I used that very word in my own post. So, I was basically saying "good one!" to the gal who called him a tard. That's all. Next time perhaps I should clarify.
@Doc Doofus, I love you.
@Crunk, Don't be silly. Though I may post a link of the picture on imageshack just to quiet people, such as yourself, who will fill up the thread with comments such as yours. Let's just keep this conversation to debating fuglys and not fugly behavior. *cough*

@falln_angel
I was acutally making fun of "isn't she HAWT" concept. I certainly wasn't actually serious. I feel just as you do, put off by those "Gorgeous Sim, Talula Mae Lila Jean" posts.
@GnatGoSplat, I agree, most heartily. And it is the fault of EAxis for making women a little stunted in looks by default. So, they got the crap end in real life and Sims life.
Edited: For many things that you can't know.

Oh relax. Your sims look basically the same to me, although I've noticed that extreme masculine or feminine traits aren't translating well to the other gender. Mostly, I think this entire thread shows that most people are so influenced by standardized images of "beauty" that we've pushed those expectations on to not only ourselves and the people around us, but also onto people-shaped pixels that are designed to entertain us. If anything I think this whole thing is a little disturbing, mostly because of the reactions people seem to have to non-feminine-idealized sims. Overall, I'm in the same camp as the rest of the "eh, they be pixels, omgwtfbbq?"
Also, yes, hotlinking is fairly retarded and shows a nice little streak of laziness. I discovered one of your traits - yay!

Oops, you found me out. Don't try the whole romance thing on me, though. It won't work because I'm not single. ;D

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.
I guess it was the last sentence that threw me off.

She's pixels. *shrug* I don't see the point in harping over her, probably because it reminds me of what mean-spirited and shallow people do in real life. I prefer to pick on sims for their stupid names, or for their poor fashion sense.
Not that it really matters all that much. I misunderstood. I stand corrected.
