Imagine being the person being told: yeah, so we only hired you to challenge beauty standards. Not because you’re the best at what you do, oh no no, but because you’re ugly af
Except she’s absolutely gorgeous herself, as was made clear when they removed the prosthetics. None of the claim makes any sense 😂
I’m now at a point that I can’t watch American media at all because everyone just looks the fuckin same.
Generic actress no.495 with horrifyingly white teeth Vs generic actor no.5638 with horrifyingly white teeth
What’s is this with the teeth? Are they all wearing fake teeth? Don’t tell me everyone has such a great mouth hygiene and dental care with sugar in everything you eat in US?
Serious answer? Yes. They often have either bleached teeth, which eventually destroys them so then they need veneers (fake front) and after that they get dentures.
What.
Just…what.
Where are you getting this information? You’re talking about the US, where we have excellent healthcare for people who can afford it, and those people can fuckin afford it.
It’s even sadder when you have an actor(ess) that is beautiful in their own way and then gets surgery or something else to conform to the way everyone else looks.
She was literally the first person I thought of when reading this as well.
Usually I don’t notice but it was pretty jarring in Book of Boba Fett. The guy was all dusty living in a desert and then he smiles and his teeth are blindingly white. I was like… Damn Disney you can’t afford the makeup department to dirty those up a bit?
I had the same problem with the 2018 tomb raider. Lara Crofts dad spends years surviving in a cave on an island and has perfect fucking teeth.
Challenge beauty standards of a character that was supposed to be unrealistically beautiful.
Was she? I could swear in the books she was described as not conventionally beautiful
You’re right. They just made her drop dead stunning in the games, so that’s how the bulk of the fandom envisions her
I’m pretty sure the whole thing is that witches in the witcher universe can shape their faces however they want so they all choose to be super pretty? Am I misremembering or did yennefer make herself “not conventionally beautiful” on purpose?
You’re completely correct.
“Unlike priestesses and druidesses, who only unwillingly took ugly or crippled girls, sorcerers took anyone who showed evidence of a predisposition. If the child passes the first years of training, magic entered into the equation – straightening and evening out legs, repairing bones which had badly knitted, patching harelips, removing scars, birthmarks and pox scars. The young sorceress would become attractive because the prestige of her profession demanded it.”
This is just another way in which the TV show butchered the original, although it is far below the ladder in comparison with the fact that they turned the endless interesting philosophical debates into dull, uninteresting conversations.
I think the books talked about how witches beautified themselves to make them stand out and gave themselves big boobs and wore dresses with huge cleavage and stuff.
They just mean not white
It could also really mean “Non-white for racist audiences”
