Didn't she post the picture and asked people to rate her?
I agree that it's ridiculous and insane but if she asked for being superficially rated and she gets that.... You really can't blame the guys rating her.
Almost everyone is uglier than this girl anyway. If she is a 7, we are 3. :)
Is that why the text they wrote was so disturbing to read? Have they lived in an echo chamber for so long that they think it’s okay to talk about a person like they’re a cadaver. F’ing creepy
I went back to reddit after that whole “protest” and that sub got popular during that period, it kept popping up in /r/all front page for me. That probably shows what kind of people made it popular.
Wow dude. We havent even seen the health stats from her apple watch. 7 is generous when we don't know her families history of heart disease. She's sitting at a generous 4 at best until we see her 23 and me.
The whole thing is designed to allow them to call people (especially women) "mid". They arbitrarily chose to use a gaussian distribution pattern so they had an excuse not to give anyone a score beyond 6s.
But real answer is be a hugely successful fashion model who the sub creator found attractive. Then their "objective rating standards" would include arbitrary criteria to bundle your face in. The whole sub could be replaced with a trivial ML model if it were actually about just giving their "objective" ratings. The internal weights used by the ML model would make about as much sense as the crap spouted in the screenshot.
There is the tiniest, infinitesimal amount of value in the statement that, likely because of the way we’re all graded in school, we don’t really use the full range of a 1-10 scale for attractiveness, and are sorta only really saying ugly, mediocre, attractive, or model.
There is zero value in saying that that’s an issue and the solution is a psychopathic and dehumanizing system.
When it comes to looks, the only meaningful scale consist of a 0 (not attractive) and 1 (attractive). E.g., if a woman I am talking to doesn't find me attractive, there is zero practical difference between me looking like Chris Hemsworth or an ogre.
I know most Lemmy user's have a hate boner for Reddit for many other reasons than this, but IMO all of the /r/AmIUgly, /r/AmISexy, /r/rateme, and other rating subreddits are an absolute cancer on the site.
90% of posts are from new accounts with questionable verification methods, with the others being people trying to shill their OF profiles. I can accept that, but what really boils my piss is that almost all of the comments follow this pattern:
Slating anyone remotely attractive for being attention seeking, or posting incorrectly on a sub "intended for ugly people", all while that person only comments on the attractive people.
Obvious negging, as if giving some super attractive girl a 6/10 is going to make them jump into their DM's and ask "what can I do to be better for you sempai?"
The inevitable stalking of their account, attempt to give into their DM's, or reverse image search that ends up with a post on these subs gaining you 100 new IG followers and some thirsty cunts liking and commenting on your pics.
Toxic behaviour when someone tries to actually be nice, or to offer some friendly advice. If I had a penny for every time a woman commented on a post on those subs with some advice, only for some guy to shit on them and say "lol no they need to go to the gym"
Obviously, these subs are going to exist, but they just make me end up hating people, because it's always the same pattern.
It's literally misogyny. As soon as women get revealed as women on online spaces like Reddit, it's crazy to see how differently they're treated. But when you ask people like this why they don't have a girlfriend or get no play, they don't have near enough introspection to think maybe it's because of how they view women, and that women can pick up on it.
I vaguely remember evidence posted to reddit that the whole r/truerateme sub was started by 4chan incels to try and lower women's self esteem. Part of the plan was to post photos pretending to be super conventionally attractive women and give them low ratings anyway. IDR how conclusive it was in terms of proof, but it seemed more likely than not to me at the time.
That sub also had a "guide" to their rating system posted. I looked at it once, and the absolute lowest ratings were like burn victims or women with noticeable physical disabilities (which is in itself not a cool sentiment), but they had "example photos" of conventionally attractive female celebrities rated at like a 3. Their whole criteria were either subjective or inscrutable above that: you could randomly shuffle most of the chart and it would make as much sense, even if you bought into their idiotic logic (which again, you should not).
Anyway, attraction is way more subjective than any of these shitstains would have you think and everyone can be someone else's favorite.
The canthus (pl. canthi, palpebral commissures) is either corner of the eye where the upper and lower eyelids meet.[1] More specifically, the inner and outer canthi are, respectively, the medial and lateral ends/angles of the palpebral fissure. -Wikipedia
"Sorry babe, but your canthal tilt is wayyyyy off and I highly doubt your IQ is within the required 7 points of mine (15 points would be acceptable of you rated 7 or higher on the objective attractiveness rating scale)".
