This subject tends to draw out the worst in people, oddly enough. She has this strange Order of horny men and faux-feminists who will die defending her over I don’t know what. If that’s you, please, put your emotions aside for a second, and look at Sydney Sweeney objectively (ignore the large rack, blonde hair, and smooth skin and LOOK AT HER)… Is she “beautiful”? She kinda has a horse-mouth smile, her eyes are weirdly far apart, she has big ears, and a pug nose. Sexy, sure. But any woman can be sexy if she’s not obese and has Hollywood image juggernaut at her disposal. Koinophilia? Check. Properly proportioned body? Check. Youthful? Check. But is she beautiful? Personally, I’d say no. Just another busty blond that frankly is probably a lovely woman, and she is attractive no doubt… but she’s no work of art.

    I don’t know who that is (maybe if I saw a picture) so I’m not a fanboy, I’m downvoting you for the weird, subjective, and objectifying post.

      I couldn’t care less who downvotes my post ya’ll are just a bunch of internet plebs . I’m more fascinated in the people who say they think she’s gorgeous but can’t say why, and the people who clearly have not given the philosophy of beauty much thought. Naivety is a modern a plague. Smh.

          because she has a huge following, but she clearly doesn’t seem beautiful to me, so I’m curious about this social phenomenon. Do people like her because she seems Right Wing? Do they like her because she panders? Do they genuinely think she’s beautiful? It’s a total head scratcher. Why not?

              it seems like she is. She’s worn American flag shirts and stuff before, has a strong cowgirl background, and after Madame Web was a disaster she did a complete reinvention of her image starting with her Saturday Night Live appearance that emphasized her cup size (pandering to male audiences). Ever since then, she has been essentially reinventing herself as a continual sex symbol.

      Do you think she’s “gorgeous” or just attractive? There’s a difference. Like, when I look at Bernini’s Apollo and Daphne, or Thorvaldsen’s Christus, they almost bring me to my knees. They are almost metaphysical in their nature, they capture something beyond mere human attraction. Snow-capped Teton’s and other stunning vistas are an example. These things is what it is to be beautiful. Sydney Sweeney does not evoke this sensation in anyone.

      she’s a 27 year old American actress, with major roles in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood with Brad Pitt and Leonardo DeCaprio, Marvel’s Madame Webb with Dakota Johnson, Anyone But You with co-star and Top-Gun Maverick lead role Glenn Powell, and Eden with Jude Lawa and Ana de Armas.

      I am not negging her. I’m just challenging the claim she is objectively beautiful.

        Before we kickstart the conversation about her, go ahead and show us a pic of yourself, let’s see how objectively handsome you are. Then we can get onto deciding if she is “beautiful”

          I am objectively a 4/10. She’s way out of my league, she’s definitely attractive, and I’d totally shoot my shot if I ever had a chance (which I never will). But she’s not beautiful. You don’t have to be beautiful yourself in order to appreciate beauty. Please, try to stay focused.

    It’s kinda difficult to be objective on this topic, no matter how much you ask for it.

    She looks kinda weird, but manages to make it more ‘exotic’ and less ‘unattractive.’ It comes off as unique.

    To be clear, I’m not in her “order of horny men”. I’ve seen her in like one or two movies, and that’s about it.

    Either way, I think you might care way too much about this. I remember a few people that everyone lost their minds over that I thought were actually full blown repulsive. I ain’t making posts about them, though.

      That’s fair, I can understand your point about her looking “Exotic”… that makes sense,

      As for why I’m posting it, you can’t pretend that people only post on AskLemme things they are deeply passionate about lmfao. It’s just curious to me, and the internet is the perfect place to talk about this.

    Not reading all that, Sydney Sleeper is the objectively the worst sniper rifle. A jarate effect doesn’t justify losing the benefits of one-shotting any opponent. Even the classic works way better than sydney sleeper in that regard.

    objectively

    There’s no objective answer, attractiveness is subjective.

    You seem really angry people like some person.

    Hold on folks, this is the same troll that said that pornography is evil the other day and we were all sick perverts, and then proceeded to call sex work the same as self harm.

    Troll is trolling, don’t feed. Can’t even decide if they respect women or not. Has one post telling women they should do sex work and they can’t possibly decide for themselves, then posts this one negging Sydney Sweeney.

    Downvote and move on.

        Yeah, best case he’s a troll, worst case he’s a misogynistic white knighter who doesn’t understand at all how to respect women. Either way, don’t got time for that.

          It is disrespectful to encourage or even permit a person to engage in self-destructive behavior. you don’t respect women if you want to let them perform sex work. you hate them and view them as objects. you are naive, and you disgust me.

            Permit? Fucking permit? How fucking dare you talk about permitting what people do with their bodies‽

            I’ve known sex workers. I’ve sat in their homes, eaten meals and shared drinks and had deep and long conversations with them. In fact I’ve had long term partners that’ve done it off and on when times are tough. You clearly don’t respect women enough to let us make our own choices even when they aren’t necessarily great. And yeah I’ll acknowledge that sex work often has negative consequences, I learned that from feminist essays written by sex workers but they still believed it should be permitted and I trust them more than a man who feels the need to post about how he thinks some celebrity isn’t beautiful.

            The last thing women need is men deciding what we can do with our bodies.

              Oh I dare talk about permitting people to do things with their bodies. I WILL NOT permit someone to harm another person, even if they want to use their own body to do it. I WILL NOT let another person inject themselves with addictive chemicals that will inevitably cost them their lives. I WILL NOT permit a person to rape someone else, even if its what they want to do with THEIR BODY. Just because its “your body” doesn’t mean you are morally justified in doing whatever tf youw ant with it. Grow up. You’re pathetic.

              people like you, frankly, disgust me. You are selfish and lazy but don’t want to admit it because you don’t have the willpower to change, so to convince yourself you are good and avoid responsibility for your immaturity you to hide behind a manufactured righteous indignation by moralizing autonomy, pretending to care by removing any responsibility you have towards others and towards society. But I see right through your pathetic facade. You don’t care about sex workers, you’re a selfish P.o.S that doesn’t want to care about them, so you disguise your apathy as a twisted form of altruism. Grow up, you imbecilic child.

        Sex work is work. If you think all work is self harm then maybe I’ll agree with you on one thing but sex work is work.

          Illegal ivory trade is “work” that doesn’t mean you should be ok with it. “Work” is not a monolith. There is good work, there is bad work, there is work that is good for you and work that is bad for you. Sex work is work that is universally bad.
