is anyone else disturbed/annoyed by the various "non-ugly" sorts of comunities? (whether general, faery, etc.)

or is this just a "well, you're just too ugly to make it, so of course you don't like it" thing?

I'm not so much disturbed by the communties themselves (people have always seemed to enjoy debating 'beauty') as the people who seem to need their validation.

stupid enter key. Premature commentification.

everyone needs validation. Some people need validation based on their looks. It might be a little irritating to the rest of us, who presumably have some other quality personally held in higher regard, if its all they have, let them cling to it.

*shrug*

It's just the manifestiation of the cool kids in (insert your choice of: college, high school, junior high, the local gym, the city council, the office, etc) needing to seperate themselves from the pack by any visible means necessary. We live in a society based on insecurity, which drives people to extremes to seek some sort of validation.

I'm not disturbed exactly, but at the risk of sounding like I hold myself superior, I just sort of shake my head and move along. It isn't superiority as much as honest bafflement, not at the phenom but at the lengths people will go.
