What is it with anime/manga and overevaluating the importance of looks? Is it something related to Japanese culture?

how could someone "look inside" if they don't even know you ???
do you randomly got talk to strangers in the street ?
i surely don't, not even for pretty people.

also the guy in OP's pic isn't ugly at all.

>also the guy in OP's pic isn't ugly at all.
That's him post-plastic surgery. He's complaining no-one bothered "looking inside" before.

but how does one "look inside" a complete stranger ?
people that say that you need to judge by what's inside always annoyed me because nobody does it, you CAN'T know how's a person personality unless you talk to them and take some time to know them better (and even for that it can take years to "truly" know someone).
yes, people judge by the cover, so yes you should make the cover prettier so they talk to you, it's that simple, nobody's going to bother with someone who makes no effort.

>but how does one "look inside" a complete stranger ?
It's more about automatically disqualifying a stranger because of his or her looks.
>yes, people judge by the cover, so yes you should make the cover prettier so they talk to you
Easy to say desu.

>Easy to say desu.

shave, clean yourself, buy trendy clothes, stop smoking/drinking/drugging.
just with that people should start not avoiding you.
if you have a physical deformity then you should use surgery to fix it.

Its a biological imperative to choose beautiful people over ugly ones because it's indicative of good genes. Stop over thinking this, it's never going to change because we're hardwired to want to have children with good parentage. Settling for less is just societal cope due to your own standing or inability to do better.
>if you have a physical deformity then you should use surgery to fix it.
I'm not going to tell you not to do this as I have health problems from genetics, but I see it as polluting the gene pool. We're already fucked from modern medicine and the agricultural revolution letting more people live to have children, and passing on bad traits. I can only hope we can edit out those negative traits in the future.

>Settling for less is just societal cope
Aye but that's how it's always been and how ugly traits pass on. Ugly guys get money or power and fuck beautiful women.

>I'm not going to tell you not to do this as I have health problems from genetics, but I see it as polluting the gene pool.
nah it's actually fine, in few years it will be impossible to pollute the gene pool because of the CRISPR (Cas9), hopefully people in the future will be able to use this to have perfect children.
it will probably start by China and then Americans will do it and lastly Europeans.

Wasn't the moral of the story that being beautiful and fucking lots of cute girls is empty and that you should just bee yourself and fuck your ugly girlfriend that loves you?

Uh yes it is
Show me a western show/movie with a truly unattractive lead where their looks aren't brought up.
Hell even in real life people will treat you worse if you're ugly and better if you're beautiful its called the halo effect.

bullshit, look at the last Star Wars movie, Kylo Ren is a star now and fucks.

I forgot his name but that guy who portrayed dr strange always struck me as creepy
Yes. He was a hypocrite demanding from others what he couldn't do himself. His (ugly) girlfriend was pregnant too.

Kylo Ren, the autistic manchild, is ugly while Rei, Poe and all the rest of the main cast are all very attractive. Thanks for proving the other user right.

*the autistic manchild antagonist

How about finn and the asian girl?

Of all developed countries, Japs have got to put the least importance in looks.

and yet Kylo Ren is popular now and fucks while being unatractive.

Compared to who? South korea?

Proof?

Manga is often written by people who were loners when they were young. So they have some Zig Forums-tier seethe.

Crispr cas9 doesn't work the way you think it works bro, it'll most likely be useful in 50 years for embryos of people who have genetic disorders. Don't expect too much.
t. geneticist

didn't the Chink said they managed to use it on humans already ?
haven't they planned to genetically "enhance" their population ?

50 years is still a small time for humanity anyway, would be great if it was actually enforced everywhere so we can put a stop against deformities and general sadness of few people.

Though you may think he is unattractive its pretty obvious that many people especially women find him attractive some of them find him very attractive and want to fuck him.
Cumberbatch or however the fuck you spell his name may be ugly to you and me but women cream themselves over him its why he got the dr strange role because of his fangirls from dr who
Like I think the guy who plays loki is fucking ugly and looks ratlike yet he's considered one of the most handsome men alive. Men have no fucking clue what makes a man attractive.

It will LITERALLY be the eugenics wars from star trek bro

Is it cause of technical limitations or cause of ethical limitations? All the articles and documentaries act like its all been figured out its just the ethical considerations that hold it back.

they're attractive because they're not only famous and play popular characters but they also have lots of money.
