weaponized halo effect

[iblamefranklin]

In the past, leading men and women had nearly perfect facial symmetry and "dimorphic" traits. Today, we see a rise in actors who have one or two "failos" (flaws) but are marketed as the peak of attractiveness. (barry keoghan, jeremy allen white)

the modern film industry will use ugly men to seek out our attention, to make us feel seen, to make money off of us

is this a genuine shift in preference??? no of course not, this is to make people like us feel less inadequate

In 90s and 2000s movies, masculine leads had high-set cheekbones, heavy brow ridges, and wide mandibles.

Modern "heartthrobs" often lean toward Neoteny (baby-like features) or androgyny.

i think this is to lower the threat level of modern men, favoring a more compliant male, then the warrior look in the past

Media now uses average-tier actors to play genius or heroic roles while casting high-tier actors as villains or "toxic" characters. (jeremy allen white, paul mescal, heroes) (jacob elordi, austin butier, villians)

I think they will use the halo effect to attack specific traits and ideas like this in the future

I don’t understand your point, by casting villains with good looking actors they are using the halo effect to promote villainous behaviour? I mean it’s plausible, they want us amoral and hyper-individualistic.

i mean i think that they will at some point push down on the idea of a goodlooking guy for several reasons

one potentially being to push goyslop down our throats with less fighting back (soymilk, fastfood, soylent, and whatnot)

Read it all and I definitely have noticed the level of beauty the film industry has presented has definitely lowered.
