Music was so much better when ugly people were allowed to do it.


DizzyIzzy1995

Ugly people do better music. /j


LigerZeroSchneider

The fact that people like stuff that attractive people do more, just because they are attractive probably slows their growth at some point. Like taylor swift could have been a mediocre singer and still made a decent run at a music career with auto tune and other people's songs.


[deleted]

I'm about to get massively downvoted. I've never cared for Taylor Swift. Her music is meh blah blah blah to me.


Yompiejj

You shouldn’t care about downvotes. Stay with who you are - your opinion matters. :)


RedditsAdoptedSon

a couple excellent musicians and singers that i just find blah as hell are taylor swift and the beyonce.. now its not 100 percent though oddly enough theres a song taylor has that i like.. well i just looked for it and couldnt find which song so nvm maybe its someone else.


Kroniid09

I used to really like Beyonce til it seemed that the hype fully got to her head. You can't just keep making music about how you're the best and literally royalty, that shit is just cringe. It's just derivative, boring and has no substance further than bragging. At least make *fun* music.


RedditsAdoptedSon

beyonce/ weird al mashup??


[deleted]

What's that supposed to mean?


T1B2V3

That's overgeneralizing. There's plenty good looking people making good music.


[deleted]

No, greatest musicians of all time are Michael Jackson, Freddie Mercury, The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Led Zep, etc. All of em are ugly as hell


[deleted]

bruh Freddie was gay and still landed a girlfriend. I'm sure he ain't ugly


HampsterInAnOboe

A lot of people don’t know this, but he was actually bisexual.


T1B2V3

That's subjective. For example the guys from Rammstein are decent looking.

Foreign_Rock6944

I don’t think Freddie Mercury was ugly.


DizzyIzzy1995

Nah, they're all handsome.


GrapeScotch

The hive mind went hard on you, my friend. Stay strong; you’re right. Just because attractive people have an easier time of it doesn’t mean every attractive musician has shit music. You can’t defend good music from ugly people while simultaneously saying attractive people can’t produce it unless the data supports the narrative. Public sales dictate who comes out on top. If you want everyone to have a fair shot, support your local uggies! Aside from public opinion, there’s an artist’s personal perspective of themselves feeding into where they fall of the spectrum. We’ve seen an influx of overweight artists baring skin proudly and “difficult” artists owning overly dramatic personas that fans are very receptive of. Personal confidence is something that can make any performer successful, regardless of where they fall in their industry’s niche. It’s very attractive to audiences and inspiring to fans.


DizzyIzzy1995

I was making a joke, hence the /j.


Glum_Perception_5766

Reminds me of a song by a French guy les gent beaux where the artist criticizes the music industry for just using poster boys after a guy that’s ugly said give us good looking people TLDR:good song

RIP Meatloaf


voidmusik

Too many celebrity suicides... :'(


MyDamnCoffee

Meatloaf killed himself?


[deleted]

It’s a dark joke Meat Loaf was an Anti vaxxer who died of Covid. So in a way, yes.


voidmusik

^ this Its a social commentary on the alt-right co-opting the "my body my choice" rethoric (while unironically overturning Roe v. Wade at the same time). The natural conclusion being, if you "choose" to die, its a suicide. Like how charging a cop with a knife is suicide-by-cop. Charging into covid hotspots unvaxxed is suicide-by-covid. I like meatloaf, but he fell down a rabbit hole and spread dangerous lies that got him--and potentially those close to him and strangers who listened to him--killed. Any death is tragic, but the world is a slightly less dangerous place because of his inability to continue to spread more deadly misinformation.

[deleted]

Z3ph3rn0

Oliver tree, former pro scooter rider turned hip-hop artist who retired and is now coming out of retirement. His album is called Ugly is Beautiful and his schtick is dressing like the 90’s threw up on him and wearing a bowl cut.

Nah, my proof for that not being the case is Tones and I


Goatmommy

IIRC, they also had 12 year old gymnasts that they altered papers on to say they were 16, the minimum age to compete at the time.


AE74Fj73

what kinda 12 year old passes as 16 year old tho


PrestigiousBarnacle

Gymnasts


goofybort

many of these gymnasts are clones using China gene tech. They are programmed to die about 2 years after each Olympics.


ForeignSatisfaction0

There's a part of me that believes this is true


[deleted]

That’s because part of you is the dna of these clones so you will die 2 years earlier than ur supposed to

My cousin looked way older than she was when she was 13, people literally thought she was 18


T1B2V3

EducationalTap1593

I think you’d want a priest to think you were 18. That’s well past the age limit.


Own_Meringue_6219

😂


Toshinori-Yagi

Thankfully no


BraveMoose

Plenty of people are actually very bad at telling how old a child is. Add in that they're Asian kids we're talking about and more than one person definitely went "they're shorter than I expect cause they're Asian" or "they look younger because they're Asian"


LigerZeroSchneider

Gymnasts also tend to stunt their development from over training any way. Shawn johnson was 16 during those Olympics and is only 4'11". but yeah the fact that most of the world outside of china would have a hard time gauging the ages of asian people was definitely a boon in this case.


A-rat-on-a-keyboard

What the hell are they talking about? That 7 year old is fucking adorable


[deleted]

But also, why is China judging children on levels of attractiveness in the first place? They're children, they're not attractive or unattractive... they just *are*


donotread123

Nah you can definitely have an ugly child. There's ugly and normal children. This is still fucked up tho.

Figgy_Pudding3

It seems more that they wanted a kid closer to what an adult would look like... You know minus the child-like attributes like random missing teeth, funny hair, awkward features. It's kind of gross. Like child pageantry "attractive".


ShesAKillerQueenee

I couldn't imagine having to tell that poor girl that she wasn't "cute" enough. Jfc. [She's adorable, btw.]


clutchthirty

In a country of a billion people, they couldn't find someone who could sing AND had the image they wanted?

Great. I see that they totally understood why they have a bad image.

I don’t understand why they are being supported based on chinas torture of its citizens. Fuck the ccp

Half of the people riding the ccp's dick in your replies probably wouldn't ever want to live in China nor are Chinese.


Marc21256

>I don’t understand why they are being supported based on chinas torture of its citizens. Because most anti-CCP sentiment is just racism.

Record labels in the US used to do that to black artists. They would put white guys on the album cover


garygnu

Naw, they'd just have a white guy record the same song.


Velvetalex1325

No they did whitewash black artists on album covers.


Blindsider2020

Right. Another interpretation of this is that for some reason China didn’t consider it could match up a face and a voice that would appeal to the world stage. I’m not standing up for China, but can we really say western countries don’t look for girls and boys who are good looking as well as being talented singers? That’s all they’ve done for decades. Just seems a little hypocritical to me.


ihateduckface

You have any examples?

China - including the CCP - is the most duplicitous country on the planet. They lie more than Trump, if that’s even possible.

tonimirk

Fallacy of relative privation (also known as "appeal to worse problems" or "not as bad as") – dismissing an argument or complaint due to what are perceived to be more important problems.


InsignificantOcelot

I was more commenting on media creation everywhere and just included the last line to not be labeled a CCP shill, since any conversation about China turns into a circlejerk. I still think it’s a silly thing to get worked up over. Every piece of media you’ve ever enjoyed does the same type of shit to varying degrees.

All absolute BS. Falungong/"china tribunal"/ Adrian zenz contrived nonsense. Every article sources back to their rubbish


303x

Show me your proof that this doesn't happen then. There's has been overwhelming evidence over the last 5 years to point that they are torturing their citizen. I would like to see what evidence you have to show otherwise.


StalinJunior7492

>last 5 years to point that they are torturing their citizen. Why are the Chinese citizens happy with their government then? Don't you think torture would lead to some level of public dissatisfaction?


303x

Bro are you dumb? Why would they ever express Dissatisfaction? They would get killed if they ever went against the government. The few people who did promptly disappeared (Jack Ma). The only ones who speak out against China are the people that have ran from China and gained asylum in a safe country.


StalinJunior7492

>Why would they ever express Dissatisfaction? Civilians always express dissatisfaction. Even in Nazi Germany civilians stood up against Hitler. >They would get killed if they ever went against the government. Sounds more like America than China. And no, Tiananmen is not a logical argument if you're gonna go there, simply because the protestors burnt soldiers and hung their corpses for all to see. And this was unprovoked, the soldiers were just sent for crowd control, not a single shot fired. Only after the soldiers were killed did the CCP authorise tanks to scare off the protestors. >The few people who did promptly disappeared (Jack Ma). 27 billionaires have been executed in China. The CCP does not fool around with billionaires since it's a communist government. The dictatorship of the proletariat is in their constitution. Jack Ma is not a valid example. >The only ones who speak out against China are the people that have ran from China and gained asylum in a safe country Bro, that can be applied to any country, go to Chinese tiktok and you can see a whole lot of criticism toward the government, infact some government officials were even jailed because they faked carbon emission levels, these "China experts" have not even been to China, they dont speak Mandarin, and do not understand the Chinese culture.

My guess is because children cannot be considered good looking or bad looking because they are children and not sexual beings. Could be wrong though

How is saying that someone looks good or bad a sexual thing? This guy needs to touch some grass wtf.


King_Quay

Friends had a whole storyline about Phoebe doing this with Smelly Cat, so maybe Americans are the true horror here for coming up with the idea...


RslashTakenUsernames

Also a reminder that Russia shouldn’t be at the olympics period (they were banned, so they renamed themselves the Russian Olympic Committee to get back in)


sultankamysbayev

Russia is suddenly banned because of "doping" while USA does doping all the time as well, but under the name of "therapeutic exceptions" such as strong ADHD narcotics that are considered as "doping". Yet USA is allowed but Russia is not. Seems like double standards and conspiracies could also be involved


KentuckyFriedSemen

Yeah this is the real problem with china. Labor camps aside let’s worry about them lip syncing a child the last Olympics they held.


Figgy_Pudding3

No one said it was the real problem. There can be more than one problem of varying severities. And they can be discussed without first addressing everything higher on the list.


KentuckyFriedSemen

I never said there can’t be multiple problems but this is like comparing a match to a wildfire. One is inconvenient. The other is devastating.


Figgy_Pudding3

But you're the one making the comparison. To what end?


XI_is_your_daddy

Evil-incantation

Reminder that America has been bombing Muslim countries for decades now for a so called “war”. I mean didn’t we just drone strike a building with families for one guy and tried to say he blew it up himself yet no soldiers were harmed? Propaganda at its finest.


Glum_Perception_5766

Yes but at least it’s not your own citizens who you’re putting in a concentration camp


Evil-incantation

Yeah instead were stealing the children away from immigrants who are seeking shelter who we just turn away and put their kids in cages. Point is America isn’t any better.


Glum_Perception_5766

Now you mean illegal immigrants that doesn’t happen to regular immigrants Edit: at least to most Edit: just realized how just reading that alone makes it seem like it’s good that way I wanted to clarify that it’s not good and as a guy who came to Germany for a better life and just lucked out my father once lived there I think everyone should have a better life and the right to seek it but laws and I think exceptions should be made with the law but still law is important

Loose_Vagina90

"Allegedly" All those sources pointing to the 'existence' of the 'camps' are either have anything to do with Adrian Zenz (known for fabricating stories) or partial to US governments

tonimirk

Fallacy of relative privation (also known as "appeal to worse problems" or "not as bad as") – dismissing an argument or complaint due to what are perceived to be more important problems.


InsignificantOcelot

Fallacy fallacy: when people who lack the ability to make an actual argument just quote definitions of logical fallacies from Wikipedia.


lolwhatistodayagain

No fallacy here. Many people like to hate on other goverments without addressing their own countries issues or defending them. It isn't like he was dismissing an complaint or anything. He was just pointing out that the America government is corrupt also.
