Okay I hate not posting much and then popping up to say something negative but like,,, this fandom constantly talking about how “ugly” background characters in the outsiders movie is super disheartening. I have never and will never understand commenting on appearances- there’s a difference between I don’t find (x) attractive and (x) is ugly. As a whole, we as a fandom tend to do the second, saying things like C Thomas Howell now “looks like a sundried tomato” or shitting on Curly’s actor/the background greasers in the rumble scene. Those are real people behind those characters! No matter how unattractive you find them, you can bet your personality is 100% uglier if you’re taking the time out of your day to talk about how they don’t fit your standards of aesthetics.
glad someone said this <3
it’s important to always spread love, and judging people based on appearance is not something i’ll ever support
This was a beautiful response. I’m so glad you were able to make this kind when I was coming from a place of impulsive anger. You’re very well spoken. Thank you ❤️✨
