If I drop my pants right now and take a big fat shit, wrap it around a plastic bag, bring it up to you and tell you: “hey, this is art because art is beauty and beauty is subjective, therefore you should appreciate the shit I just took because I find it beautiful and so should you” what would your immediate reactions be?
Obviously not pleasant, right? Art is essentially rooted in aesthetics in the sense that it wouldn’t have been perceived as art if it weren’t for it being at least slightly beautiful and my shit is not so aesthetically pleasing to you now, is it? Well, the same more or less applies to physical beauty. Beauty is subjective BUT ONLY AS LONG AS you surpass that initial layer of objective beauty. Basically the “not all girls are into masculine Chads, some girls like nerdy Chads” meme.
You can’t just sit there and postulate subjectivity in this instance when something that is defined as beautiful has to be objectively appealing and pleasing to the eyes of the average human being. That’s just paradoxical and intellectually dishonest of you, seeing as how we live in a society where “woke ideologies” partially stem from how people consider beauty right-wing and conservative.
But you’re not ready for that convo yet, nor are you willing to listen.
