I already said this in my tags but:

Hey, y'all in the notes: she wasn’t asking you to call her beautiful or say she’s adorable or “uwu she’s so sweet i would die for her”. She’s asking you to interact with physically different creators regardless of if you think they’re beautiful or not. Beauty standards are a farce and we need to stop implying that beautiful is the most important thing someone can be. Every person who says “oh she’s so sweet I would die for her” or “anyone who calls her ugly is getting their kneecaps caved in”: this is for you. You are being madly infantalising. It’s like when you say to a fat person “oh you’re not fat, you’re cuddly” like, shut up! I thought we were past this by now. She is a PERSON and you are all scrambling to say just how beautiful you think she is, without even thinking about the message she is trying to send.

This isn’t me saying she’s ugly or whatever the fuck. I don’t believe in ugly. This is me telling you all to stop being so fucking surface level with your beauty ‘activism’. She knows what she looks like and she probably doesn’t need hundreds of people infantalising her because they need to performatively show off how good they are and how much they don’t care about traditional beauty standards. Grow up and interact with her like she’s a person, not a fuckin three-legged puppy.
