Influencer platform’s controversial contest awarded prizes to three nonexistent people.
What a worthless thing to waste energy on.
Both the contest and then bitching that the winners are hot.

controversial take:
Objectification has been happening ever since women and men existed. Perfection is something humans have idolized and admired for a long time. Gods and godesses were drawn to be attractive and charismatic.
If the universe rewards intelligence over stupidity, why is rewarding beauty over ugliness a problem?
There is also this argument that… let people have their circus. Extreme beauty and intelligence are something people can look at and admire for a weekend as a form of escape. But this doesn’t mean people leave their partners or talk shit to their sisters “why don’t you look like her”, etc.
I guess my take is missing the problem which is that young adults set false expectation of their partners and this causes problem for them later in their life. But this feels like arguing we should shut down all forms of adult entertainment because the kids will get corrupted.

Define “the universe”
