    That’s interesting and all, but I don’t see how that helps their case that this challenged beauty standards. If anything, it reinforces beauty standards because she hated being ugly and was very happy to be made beautiful, and just about every person around her reinforced that.

    • Casting a beautiful actress and making her ugly never challenges beauty standards. The claim is bullshit.

      However, focusing on her ugly beginning provides more weight to why she paid the price of sterility for beauty, and why she’s so desperate to adopt ciri.
