I'm sure it's some woke bullshit about "changing beauty standards", or like everything else it's another shield to hide behind from criticism (same reason they race-swap characters to call people racists for not liking the new version, or add gay/tranny shit to call people homo/transphobic). But the funnier version in my head is that it's all the directors trying to protect their asses and distract people after all the #metoo bullshit and Weinstein taking the fall. I'd love them to flat out say shit in interviews like "Look how ugly she is, clearly she would never get this role from sleeping with me, she is just SUPER talented" while their eyes shift around like the South Park episode about sex addiction when all the men are pretending they don't understand why famous men cheat.
