A present for Caltrops: complaints about progressive bloggers. by Brody Wilder 08/04/2019, 10:02pm PDT
I saw an article on a popular entertainment blog today claiming Friends didn't age well because everyone on it was white. It made me upset, and not just because I'm a racist who loves Friends. Let me explain.

I've been watching a lot of movies from the 1930s lately, to try and escape the human rainbow we're expected to tolerate these days. While standards for skin colour were a lot higher back then, at the same time, standards for facial symmetry were a lot lower. Here's a picture of Leslie Banks, star of Alfred Hitchcock's The Man Who Wasn't There:



They should've called it The Man with the Impossible Nose. He looks like a Picasso, he'd never make it on TV today. He'd be lucky to get interviewed for the local news, let alone headline a major motion picture. Can you imagine what a millennial from the enlightened 31st century, where standards for bone structure have completely collapsed, would say about even our most socially progressive 21st century TV stars? They'd take one look at the lady who plays Batwoman on the CW, with her inhumanly perfect features accentuated by expertly applied makeup, and see an already dangerously pale silent film actress covered in greasepaint to look even whiter.

Beating up on Friends for both reflecting and propagating a different toxic beauty standard than the toxic beauty standard we have now feels like 1980s kids kicking a guy when he's down for being a racist, then kicking another guy when he's down for being a faggot. How do you think it makes the uggos like Leslie feel? They come in all different colours and sexual orientations, the only thing they have in common is that no matter how talented they may be, they'll never play Batwoman... or even Alfred!



If it's problematic that all of these men are white (and men), how is it not also problematic that they all have cheekbones you could set your watch by? I think if I can respect your preference to only ever see attractive faces, you can respect my preference to only ever see Aryan ones.
