Apart from the obvious racism thing, there's a lot to unpack here with these two pictures related to ageist stuff. If beauty is morally "salient" (I fucking hate when CHUDs use a fancy word thinking it makes them sound smart), then why would god allow people to grow old at all? The fact that ageing exists kind of blows a hole in this guy's idea, that woman on the left will be looking a lot more like the woman on the right when she's in her 60s than she looks now. Does that mean she'll be morally repugnant then? I'm sure this CHUD imagines "marrying" (owning) an attractive young woman, but what happens as she ages? Is that moral decay?

I also can't get over this guy using "salient" bugs me way more than it should. I can just tell this doofus googled "fancy way of saying 'correct'" to find it, 0% chance he knew that word existed before this. He decided just typing "beauty is morally right" and thought he didn't look smart enough doing that. It's always so obvious when they do this shit, they can never slip their $50 words in naturally, it has to be the focal point, they just love screaming "I'm not insecure about my views or my intelligence! Look at the fancy word I used, proves how smart I am, which means I must be correct!"

    As far as the Bible is concerned, isn't it our fault we age? Because the Garden of Eden was like a timeless utopia where people were immortal? I think most bad things in that mythology stem from there

    Oh yeah, I forgot about that, genesis really is used to justify a lot of misogynistic bullshit (and racism too, with the curse of Ham stuff).

    Noah's son peeking into his tent while Noah was passed out naked: bad, unforgivable, punishment meted out on the firstborn son of the offender and his entire bloodline

    Lot's daughters entering his tent for a very committed purpose while Lot was drunk and naked: just fine, that's just the way it happened, they had cute names for their babies, let's move on with the story now
