[He starts the feed with a laugh, a low chuckle that sounds...tired.]

Is that really considered entertainment? [The Hot or Not post is the cause of this mood.] I'll tell you this: if you are a good person who tries to help others and doesn't purposefully cause pain, you're beautiful. What you look like doesn't matter.

[So there. Learn something from a Master.]

There's nothing wrong with some harmless one. Don't be a grandpa about it.

It could erode away at innocent egos, you know.

[pyramidsmash]

If their egos are so easily broken, they should work on making the stronger.

[eternallywandering]

How would you suggest they do that? Not everyone is equipped for that task.

[pyramidsmash]

Everyone should have at least some inkling of self-esteem in them.

[eternallywandering]

Should they? Some are bullied and abused to such a degree that their self-esteem is crushed.

Oh really?

[ Have a sharp smile, Zhou Zishu~ But it's hiding insecurities and Xue Yang's mask slips just a little. ]

Then let me ask you this. Can monsters who have murdered and tortured for fun...change and be beautiful again?

[ He needs to know. ]

[Video]

[eternallywandering]

Of course. [No pause, no hesitation.] They just need to develop a conscience. I'd say if they come back from being so monstrous, that makes them even more beautiful.

[Video]

[jiangzaid]

[ His shock is obvious! ]

Even more...?

[ But he shakes himself a little. ]

What if that conscience is just because of one person?

[Video]

[eternallywandering]

It has to start somewhere, doesn't it? [...Zishu smirks and shrugs.] I went a long time not feeling much of anything. I did a lot of monstrous deeds.

[Video]

[jiangzaid]

Mm...I guess...

I didn't care until I met...someone. I grew up being tortured so that's what I did to others once I got strong enough. Nothing mattered, and then he...saved me.

A-Xu. Ignore them. Their petty entertainments aren't worth your time.

[ He doesn't like that tired note in his husband's laugh. ]

[eternallywandering]

People don't seem to learn, Lao Wen. Someone is always left out and then they become bitter.

[He has seen plenty of broken hearts.]

[Private Video]

[flirtatiousdancer]

Of course not. They're small minded and selfish.

[ Not that Kexing can really talk, considering all the things he's done. But still! Zishu, you're worrying your poor wife again! ]

[Private Video]

[eternallywandering]

Don't make that face. I'm just frustrated. I'd rather see people building each other up rather than tearing one another down over something they can't help.

[This hits close to home precisely because of his Lao Wen. And Chengling.]

[Private Video]

[flirtatiousdancer]

[ Kexing puffs out his cheeks but then just sighs and plops down to lean against one of the many trees around their home. ]

We both know they won't change, A-Xu. No matter how much better the world would be if they did. Human nature is ugly.

You have a point there, but there's nothing wrong with appreciating a good-looking man or woman.

[eternallywandering]

Silently or intimately. When you make a game of it, hearts can be hurt.

[erschlagen]

I would say intimately, but I would appreciate it if people did so silently without so much fuss.

[eternallywandering]

I don't mind being complimented by my husband. That is a joy we can share. I would be disturbed if someone ranked me, however.

I was told it is meant to be entertaining and a means of commenting on physical appearances others enjoy.

You disagree?

Video

[eternallywandering]

It is meant to be entertaining, yes, and a commentary. But those who are not deemed attractive are inevitably left out.

Re: Video

[shatteredprison]

Hm. A valid point.

If you were to propose an alternative, what would it be?

Video

[eternallywandering]

Perhaps open a venue for people to meet? Then they can compliment one another in person.

Re: Video

[shatteredprison]

Would please still not be initially drawn to those they find alluring or familiar? Or would there be rules that they must approach new and different people?
