This basically. Jews and Arabs are just more famous for the prominent nose, but I'm all about it in general.

I guess.

I think that the idea that noses should be tiny and unnoticalbe is kind of weird. You especially see it in manga drawing styles where they downright try to avoid drawing noses at all if they can. I think it's a shame and really silly. I don't see why a woman has to have a tiny nose. I remember from previous discussions in a now deleted thread that me and Batlord have much the same view on this :)

I believe we had this exact same discussion 4 or so months ago. But I'm always a bit inexplicably irritated over the fact that most consider any nose (on a woman) that's not a button nose to be large even though it isn't at all. I mean, I only have so much mental energy I can devote to hating even more parts of my body. On a related note, I hate how there seems to be a fear of ugliness. Like, one cannot even be ugly in peace these days without someone feeling the need to say something like "Everyone is beautiful!! :)))"-- which is why some aspects of the recent internet body-positivity movement always rang hollow to me, as we are already too obsessed with our bodies, and-- well, I'll just refer to this old internet comic which sums it up nicely:

And ugliness/asymmetry will always be more interesting than perfect symmetrical beauty. (.. I say things like this, yet I KNOW I'm never gonna stop obsessing over my slightly asymmetrical eyes) Which is why I'm especially annoyed when I come across artists or photographers who exclusively paint/photograph skinny blonde women (lying in a pond or in a forest or whatever or some other typical setting--you know, the bland sort of unimaginative sanitized fairytale-themed stuff that always gets reposted endlessly on Pinterest or wherever) with conventionally pretty and ultimately forgettable doll faces. |
