Unattractive humans scare me. It's exceedingly difficult for me to picture them intelligent. And if they are not intelligent, they are not rational. And if they are not rational, they can try to hurt you—even when they gain nothing from it, even at the cost of their own life. And even if they try to act in your best interest, they don't understand how; they end up hurting you regardless.

I know, I know... Saying this is *extremely* racist.

I'm trying to do better.

But it sits deep.

Did you know, for example, that infants, exempt from any cultural bias, display preference for the same faces? All those evil people who were telling you beauty was subjective were lying to your face.

Okay, I should come clean with you. I opened it with a little clickbait. It is mostly humans unaware of their unattractiveness who scare me. They who proudly display their tumorous injected lips, patchworks of dumbass teeny tattoos, and flabs of morbid obesity—I run away from those like from a wildfire. But as soon as a human puts on an exquisite mask of their choosing, I don't care much what's behind it. I feel better. I see they are sensible enough.
