I don’t know, superficial positive comments about a politician’s appearance aren’t my favorite but also don’t make my bottom 50 list either. Plenty people commenting on Jon Ossoff being sexy don’t get downvoted
You actually made my argument for me and didn’t notice. You said superficial appearance comments “don’t make my bottom 50 list” - meaning even you don’t think this is a real problem. Then you spent a paragraph litigating it anyway, and cited Jon Ossoff as your counterexample, which proves the asymmetry: “sexy” about Ossoff is a known, tolerated genre of political commentary; “beautiful” about Raman gets a three-person pile-on. Same category of comment, different reception. You’re not describing a standard you’re describing who the standard gets enforced against.
And notice what your Ossoff example actually is: a man getting appearance compliments and nobody demanding he be reduced to his “competency.” The rule you’re defending only switches on for some people. That’s not a rule. That’s a vibe with a citation.
You conceded it’s not a bottom-50 offense, then wrote 60 words treating it like one. The only thing “superficial” here is the consistency of your standards.
