      Which person? The one in the tumblr image above is saying she IS sexy and beautiful. The one(s) referenced as saying she couldn’t be a love interest? I haven’t read any of their actual comments here but I tend to agree that if you get on a soap-box to scream to the world how something in media you’re choosing to watch makes you feel, you probably have more complicated feelings about the topic than you’re letting on.

        The person in the Tumblr image. It seems that there’s more going on there than whether or not the woman in the show is attractive.

      Why? Because they have different standards of what they find attractive?

      Different strokes for different folks friend

        No, because they reduce a woman’s physical attractiveness to “big booba and I see some o’ dem!” That line of thinking is only ever heard from people who aren’t themselves attracted to women. Trust.

          I think the user at top of this thread was confused and thought the image from Tumblr was being critical and saying something negative about the actress in question, or they meant to respond to the referenced haters.

          Whatever it is, the comment was too confused for any of to try to make any kind of statement about anything about it.

            Uh… I’m the user at the top of the thread and I’m not confused at all, lol. I legitimately don’t think that the original Tumblr poster is attracted to women. That’s my opinion based off the post. I could very well be wrong, but that’s how it reads to me.

              You think the person praising the actresses appearance and saying how hot she is not attracted to women?

              I am utterly lost how the general internet generation armchair psychologizes other people anymore, I will assume this is some new “everything is reverse” zoomer thing.

            Overgeneralizing what? This post is clearly from the perspective of someone not attracted to women. Another dead giveaway is the fact that they have to denigrate other women to justify this woman’s attractiveness. The writing gives it all away quite clearly.

                I didn’t say that. I said they needed to denigrate other women to justify this woman’s attractiveness. I didn’t say there aren’t straight men who aren’t assholes about women.

                  So guys who say stuff like “I prefer natural looking girls, not ones with caked on makeup” or “I’d only date a virgin. I don’t want any roast beef” or “no fatties, I only like thin girls” are what? All secretly gay or ace?

                  ETA: my point is, people do comparisons all the time when talking about how one person is more attractive than another or than most other people (some more mean spirited than others). It often isn’t right or cool, but being mean doesn’t mean you’re not attracted to the person you’re contrasting.

              You are clearly mistaken. When the cat 5 titties started heaving they caught your attention, by design. Akin to Frank Lloyd Wright-esque compression and release, the show up to now was staffed by thin and tall women and her breasts were bound (compression) and then they slammed her into lower cut dresses that strained to hold them in (release). Booba is a major plot point, and boy do they heave. Praise shondaland

                Lol, I suppose I’ll have to take your impassioned explanation of the finer details at face value as I haven’t seen the show, and I don’t know who any of these people are.

                Yes, and? The writer brought up other women unprompted. Frankly, the whole post reflects rather poorly on the writer more than any of these supposed people they are railing against.
