And the irritating thing is that the media hypes them up as the sexiest women alive. That's what pisses me off. Also, some of these shows will have these uglies play characters that are supposed to be hot. So all kinds of handsome men will be falling on their knees begging to get with the uggo on these TV shows.
I agree with the sentiment but the thread title specifically says "ugly" and "repulsive". You'd expect actresses who are straight up not good looking, like Kathy Bates, Leslie Jones or Whoopi Goldberg, all of which I think were posted.
To be fair, I never really specified what kind of ugly I was referring to: TV-ugly, or ugly-ugly. I made this thread as a contrast to the thread about hot actresses, so this one serves as a universal dumping ground for famous women you don't consider attractive...whether they're just bland/mediocre, or straight up hideous. TV-ugly refers to women that aren't exactly repulsive, but are designated as being the less-attractive female character in contrast to the designated attractive character in media. Think of the stereotypical nerd girl trope in fiction: the girl isn't necessarily gross or ugly, but she's supposed to be the opposite of the smoking hot chick. As for ugly-ugly women, then we have the real beasts like Whoopi, Rebel Wilson, Rhea Perlman, Shelly Duvall, Sandra Bernhard, and the entire cast of Ghostbusters 2016: no one in that list is the slightest bit fuckable, whereas some TV-ugly women would be 6/10's at best. For example, you couldn't pay me enough to go down on Whoopi Goldberg or Melissa McCarthy, but if I were drunk at a party and Elizabeth Moss from Madmen flirted with me, I'd probably smash (and never call her again). See the difference? There's an entire spectrum of ugliness.
With that said, TV-ugly and ugly-ugly are presented differently for roles. No sane person with two eyes considers Melissa McCarthy or Cathy Bates to be sex symbols, hence it's why the former plays the role of fat comic foils, and the latter plays the role as token middle aged women in media...but never "hot bombshells" like circa 1995 Pam Anderson. And in some instances, I don't consider certain famous women attractive even though they're presented as being hot. Media tells me I'm supposed to swoon over 'em, I just don't see it. Brie Larson, for example, is kinda ugly and has an obnoxious face, but every soyboy bugman simps for her. AOC* legitimately looks like some kind of gremlin creature, and yet the same aforementioned group of Reddit beta males would would drag themselves across miles of broken glass to hear her fart through a walkie talkie. Daisy Ridley? Meh. She's cute, but aside from her lack of tits she doesn't look like she belongs in any leading Hollywood role. Daisy Ridley looks like she belongs in a green apron and baseball cap with the Whole Foods logo and I wouldn't be able to pick her out of a crowd. I think when they cast her as Rey, they assumed she'd be this hot sex symbol but instead she's too bland and wooden to catch anyone's attention. Again, once you see her out of the Rey getup she just becomes a normal 6/10 white girl who I'd probably swipe left on Tinder.
Your results may vary.
*I'm fully aware AOC isn't an actress, but as long as she's a public figure whose beauty (or lack thereof) is under judgement, she falls into the same umbrella as a celebrity.
