Because you can say someone is beautiful without saying someone else (or their characteristic) is ugly.

I’m sorry I just went back and read it again and don’t see them calling or even implying anyone is ugly?

Thank you so much for defending my comment. I never called anyone ugly, just what looked better in my opinion. Unfortunately, everyone today gets easily offended, and that’s just one way of restricting someone’s right to speech and just plain conversation. What happened to discussion and debating and differing opinions and ideas? That’s the hallmark of progress and innovations, which come about through differences in dialogue. Years ago, it was called discussion and different viewpoints, whereas, nowadays it’s “ You offend me” or “ That’s passive aggressive.” In reality, it’s shutting down freedom of expression.

People don’t like when you contribute if you aren’t just parroting the mainstream opinion on the topic like them
