Real people are multifaceted l, complex, contradictory and can vary wildly based on many factors, with broad personalities, you simply can't boil that down and apply an arbitrary number to it. Intelligence really bothers me in this regard as we already in this thread have people basing Intelligence on IQ... You know the system that is well known to be outdated, doesn't actually determine intelligence and is deeply problematic (with along history of being used to justify racism, ableism and stuff in the US like forced strellization) and highly biased agaist people with physical disabilities and the neurodivergent (not that most people care).
Do Autistic people like deserve to be graded lower because of a test that is bias against us, regardless of our actual intelligence, abilities or skills? It's also just silly regardless, what is the best neurologist in the world not intelligent because they don't how to cook or random movie trivia? Is a Paleontologist deserving of a lower score because they aren't also an expert in meteorology? Also wisdom is part of intelligence, knowing a tin of stuff means nothing with the ability to use it, having them be separate stats makes no sense.
And to be blunt, people have off days, people make mistakes, even the smartest of us make rash choices, sometimes don't think or fall for scams and victims to ego and pride; that's being human and not something to be shamed. I dislike the smug superiority some have that assumes their immune to propaganda and rightwing rhetoric (you aren't) or that they are inherriantly more intelligent then others often based on arbitrary reasons.
I would hate to live in a world where humans were stated (and who gets to grade people? The government, AI, some biased group (going back to the IQ thing?), making it okay to block people from jobs, opinions treated as lesser etc. That seems like an even worse version of what we have today.
Plus in the context of fictional characters, it's also pointless because again, fictional character are complex.
Just wait until he sees the advert for Netflix's new show about Ed Gein.

Loomer looks terrible but compared to the Transbians she looks like a goddess. Plus, you know, she's actually a vagina-haver.

But I would also say that the implication of passivity- that books, films, visual art, etc.- are just feeding you the context is indicative of how much general audiences' abilities to critically engage with traditional works have degraded within our social media-addled, friction-adverse society. If your mind isn't on, if you are distracted, not thinking, or just too naive or ignorant to understand the greater cultural, political, or artistic subtext of a work, then I'd argue that you're not actually experiencing it within a meaningful way.

Conservatism was... designed? And for this?
Its a good thing he threw "racist" in there as an end goal, because it sure seemed in his description of who an ideology is 'designed to appeal to' he was about to say people have nothing to lose but their chains

uhhhhhhhhhhhhh is the implication in the ban reason here that people who want to see good looking people are racist because all minorities are all ugly?

I think that’s the misogynistic part actually. The racist part must be the DEI analogy.
Its still a weird as hell ban reason because of the implications when his specific used example is that the real life actress who was the source of the character model is good looking, and the actual in game character is not.

Agreed, it’s crazy but when you work backwards on bans you’re gonna come up with some silly reasons sometimes.
