I find it pretty damning that AI Art will not put tattoos on beautiful people(unless specifically instructed).

I think everyone knew this to be true, but we are polite to people who have tattoos.

On the flip side, there are people who claim 'I don't care what they think'. And this is just an anti-social attitude in disguise of rebellion. It genuinely doesnt matter, people make split second judgements that DO affect you, even if you claim you don't care.

I've been at busy events and decided to talk to a decently dressed person over the person wearing raggy clothing. We notice patterns, often subconsciously.



I don't have any tattoos but I'd rather be judged for something surface level than for having a belief like "let's all aspire to be the default Stable Diffusion idea of a person."


Silly.

You prefer to be less beautiful and judged negatively on surface level appearances?

Yeah sureeee. I prefer to make less money, have less friends, and have less influence too /s


I think tattoos can quite often look nice, so no, not everyone "knew this to be true."

Just say what you believe instead of trying to launder your opinion as generally accepted truth.


Do you have any photos of someone before and after tattoos that make them look more beautiful?


It's hard to find before, but most irezumi style tattoos!


Some people get tattoos or dress in a nonconforming way specifically to filter out people with this line of thinking.


Suppose they 'filter out', and as a result, they don't get a job that they interviewed for. They wanted the job, or they wouldn't have applied.

They don't get approached at a social event, yet they attended to meet people.

They can say as many times "Its a filter", but the filter only hurt them. Not the other way around. Its a 'Grapes are sour anyway" situation.


how is it anti-social to not to engage with someone whose overly judging you? seems like a pretty universal response. sure everyone has first level impressions, but I’m not going to put my energy into someone who never outgrew the child level thinking of leading head first into surface level impressions


I assume OP means antisocial in the clinic sense, not social vs introverted


>I’m not going to put my energy into someone who never outgrew the child level thinking of leading head first into surface level impressions

Less opportunities for you because you are (intentionally) ignorant of human nature.

As mentioned, people make split second judgements. It doesnt matter if you are the top 5 smartest people in the world, people do not have the resources to 'vet' everyone. We look at patterns and realize that people with Face tattoos are less likely to be excellent.

This is textbook idealism. That is the way the world Ought to be. That isnt how the world Is. We are shaped by experiences.

There is something a bit reinforcing on this topic. The people deliberately violating social norms claim they 'don't care'. I imagine the smartest people are aware this stuff does matter, so they don't violate social norms.
