frustrated

Up there with rating communities, another lj thing that continually makes me feel bad about myself is the host of celebrity gossip communities like ohnotheydidnt. People in these communities are constantly calling attractive celebrities "fugly." For example, I can't believe how many people have called Mischa Barton fugly, when I would kill to look like her. I think to myself if this girl's really fugly or at least plain, what hope do I have? I would have never guessed anybody in their right mind could call her unattractive. And then they'll turn around and call somebody like Mary-Kate Olsen, who I don't think is more than cute, gorgeous. I feel like I don't understand what people find attractive, and everybody seems to agree -- there's no dissent.

It also seems like they're so focused on looks. That scares me because people are always telling me "you're too focused on looks"..."most people don't think about looks that much." But these communities seem to prove the opposite.

they only focus on celeb looks. if a regular person were to post his/her photos they would be all like "OMG YOURE GORGEOUS" even if they arent, and if you dare say otherwise they harrass you and call you rude and jealous. They hold different standards for celebrities, wayyyy higher standards.

In those type of LJs

I've seen a few people put " I can't find anything wrong with (insert celebe name)'s looks, to make me feel better." I'd think a lot of the negative comments came come from insecurity. Others are just from people's different views on beauty.

they call mary kate gorgeous because she's a stick, and communes like that worship sticks. but then of course there are odd people like me who think cute IS gorgeous, because they have a preoccupation with looking like a child!
