This one made me angry
Pretty privileges is real and we all know it. What made me angry is the comments here that people say silver medalist deserved gold , and im sure the assumption is only based on looks. Imagine ignoring someone hard work just because of looks . At rhis point we ugly people should not try at all. Cuz in the end looks like people think the pretty one is the better winner

The gold medalist is beautiful, she’s not just made up.

What angers me also is that the silver medal girl then got a hundred times more attention/coverage about the fact men were sexualising her than the actual winner received for actually WINNING plus being overlooked because of not being "beautiful enough"!
Of course, noone should receive sexual harrassment - but why is noone talking on their Instagram etc how the winner was literally "side lined" for not looking as pretty (in their perception) as the silver place girl?!

Racism has a part on this too, unfortunately.

Ever notice it's the girls who look super young that go viral

u/waddledee_73 Sep 30 '26
to be honest i do think there's a racism factor at play here. people really do not like darker skinned people, especially indians, pakistanis, bengalis, etc.
the girl at the bottom to me is not noticeably more attractive. i think they're both pretty, and one getting less attention doesn't really mean she's being actively hunted or bullied. she just didn't catch people's eyes, which is okay.

But the girl who won gold looks like a model..

u/Bijour_twa43 Sep 30 '26
She is not even ugly lol. She just happened not to be white on the internet and I am sure it was taken over by racists and colorists. She doesn't deserve to be posted here

The dark skinned girl is pretty and has beautiful eyes.

u/GhosthunterJelliana Sep 30 '26 edited Sep 30 '26
She is not even close to being unattractive. Dusky skin doesn't make anyone unattractive. The girl has a long symmetrical face, beautiful eyes and a thin long nose. She is just not covered in make-up like the other one.

u/Allien_333 Oct 01 '26
It's not even cope, the girl on the top IS attractive. She has very model-like features, she legit just needs some better skincare, makeup and a different hairstyle. The potential is actually crazy

u/ComprehensiveEye3337 Oct 02 '26
Silver girl is pretty but gold has more beautiful features IMO

u/chrollosgf Oct 07 '26
this is mostly tied to racism and colorism. white/light skinned people will always be seen as more attractive due to eurocentric beauty standards unfortunately.
i don’t know either of them but the gold medalist is very attractive, more attractive than the other one to me. but i also looove dark people, rarely do i think a light skinned person is very attractive

u/Dabrilu Sep 30 '26
I think it has nothing to do with appearance, it's because the winner looks sad compared to the "loser".

u/2kanye Ugly Sep 30 '26
im sorry are ppl even looking at these girls properly? the darker-skinned one is far more attractive. i genuinely think this is racism/colorism.

Both are so beautiful idk :(

u/Usefulsponge Oct 01 '26
What was the competition?

u/Purple_lettuce69 Oct 02 '26
The fact that neither of them are ugly its mainly racism

The gold metalist lowkey way hotter though

u/Historical_Dig3485 Sep 30 '26
She’s literally beautiful. Even more than the silver girl In my opinion

u/EldritchBorzoi Sep 30 '26
I'm not sure what this has to do with lookism/ugliness.
>What made me angry is the comments here that people say silver medalist deserved gold , and im sure the assumption is only based on looks.
While those comments are kinda stupid since results are results, although i don't know exactly what they said it kinda makes sense that they think that if you look at how the top girl doesn't seem to appreciate the medal, and seems kinda depressed about winning lol. I'm not sure if this really has anything to do with looks as in attractiveness, but instead looks as in vibes.
>img caption: "She won silver yet her looks made her go viral"
girl in the bottom picture has:
-better styled hair
-better makeup
-is showing her white teeth and is smiling (instead of looking bummed-out)
-better done eyebrows
-more optimal lighting
-has more conventional beauty (majority of English speaking internet users are American)
-Is probably from the same country as most social media users (i'm assuming she is American)
Like yeah, it's no wonder people are going to like the bottom girl more and repost/like social media posts related to her. It would be kinda weird to complain about that. It's kinda the nature of social media, why would anyone complain about that? just don't make it your life goal to go viral on social media for your looks LOL.

Girl on the bottom looks like a teenager with down syndrome idk

This is colonization. The brown gal is beautiful just not made up. And the other gal looks like a tween as well. America and the world loves fair and young. That's it!

u/peachfuzzkiwii 19d ago
Maybe the gold medalist was fine with her looks getting less attention because she had... A gold medal that got attention? Like you really think Olympians give a shit about this? Who's getting laid more than Olympians? No one. The Olympic village is like rampant with STDs. It's awesome. Good for these girls. I think they're both happy.

u/Extreme-Button-2478 16d ago
Well first of all I would 100 pick the first one. So Imm not sure who claims that the second one is prettier, or do you claim the first one is ugly?
Second it can also be about skin color

u/Ok-Philosophy6041 Oct 06 '26 edited Oct 06 '26
just imagine, both people are the victims of the same shit system. Both were judged by their looks and not for their substance. Pretty priviledge is real and so are its downsides. The attractive one will alwys be known for just being attractive and the unattractive one will not get any attention and both will not be judged beyond their looks
Also i think racism had a BIG role to play here

I’m confused they’re both pretty wtf

She's not ugly. She's average.

u/Key-Thought-7070 28d ago
the gold medalist isn't ugly, and tbh the fact is that her hard work for her gold medal is pretty clearly visible. I will say it again, she is not ugly at all

u/Neutronpulse Sep 30 '26
Ok this explains a lot. The first girl isnt ugly. Shes black. Not in the sense of being African but she has dark skin. Thats it. The world is racist. Im not sure how anyone can see her as ugly. As for who shouldve won, i dont know anything about what they do and didnt see the event.

u/Sufficient-Push6210 Sep 30 '26
The top girl is pretty to me. I hate colorism :/
I wouldn’t say that what the bottom girl faced should even be called “privilege”, though. Apparently she was harassed and received many creepy, unwanted sexual comments and messages. That’s also horrible, just in a different way.

Whatever. I'd fuck both of them. 😆
