PT Anyone Else Notice This In ROTS?

This thread is beyond sexist.

It's very disappointing people act like this is the 1960s.

 

Not one person in this thread stated that Portman needed to wear make-up to make them happy. However, there is nothing wrong with someone being more attracted too, or for thinking and expressing that they believe a women is more beautiful when they wear make-up, but again, as long as it is done without being insulting. However, words like"ugly" go beyond being appropriate in expressing an opinion.

There are plenty of posts throughout these forums where men are "objectified", from the scene in ROTS where Anakin is shirtless and people have posted pics of him in the scene with comments of how good he looks. There is a whole thread where for page after page men are objectified as animals (or other negative connotations) because there are individuals that show poor common decency with the "man-spreading" phenomenon.

The bottom line is that people shouldn't be shamed because of what they do or don't find attractive, as long as they can express it in a decent manner. To me, there is nothing wrong with pointing out that in this scene Portman is less attractive than in the other scenes of the movie, and trying to figure out why, if it was intentional by the filmmaker, or because of the actress having to have to look a certain way for another film.

 

Just because that is your opinion on the matter of make-up doesn't mean everyone else needs to be shamed into following your line of thinking. It's no different than a woman being attracted to a man tha is muscular and takes care of himself by working out. That is what they like, that is what they are attracted too, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Edit: If a woman expresses that is what she is attracted too, it shouldn't automatically mean she is demeaning people who are overweight or don't take care of themselves.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

And there is nothing wrong in expressing what someone believes is beautiful, again, as long as they are not being insulting.

 

This thread is awesome.

 

Worse than the 60s I imagine. Even then "men" didn't randomly call women ugly for not wearing make-up. This thread is extremely juvenile and judgmental.

 

People call me ugly. Are they wrong?

 

No, they aren't. I am ugly. I consider myself ugly.

If they think I am ugly, it is their opinion. I don't care.

 

1860s then.

That's an issue I hope everyone can fight against. But I hope you know I don't see Natalie Portman as merely an object, just because I noticed something about her physical appearance.

 

Late 70s- early 2000s is the era where superficial judgment and expectations of a person's physical appearance seem to have been most promoted in the media imo.

I know it still exists today because I have a depressed female friend who looks like a model already, but is constantly putting herself down and starving herself to "look better".

 

Seriously? You're giving her the warning? All she's doing is expressing disgust at crass remarks about a woman's appearance. You really don't see how that might piss some people off?

 

She is using the f- word in a family friendly forum. She can't do this.

 

you people need to relax. you just want to pick fights.

 

Pointing out the obvious here but uhh she was sleeping? and Its not like ani married her because she looks good with make up on its HIS wife?

 

She edited herself, which is acceptable. That edited version of the word is used all the time, by users, mods, managers, and admins. She really did nothing against the rules.

 

She is not ugly in that scene, but she does look different. I don't think that that has anything to do with makeup.
Here is a few pictures I used to compare, from three consecutive scenes.

So no, she is not ugly, but she does look different, skinnier.

 

Seriously? This is still going on?
