What if it was your sister?

Why are her looks relevant? If she was ugly or just so-so would they have mentioned that too?

People like you are the worst, calling someone ugly or so-so be is insulting. People, wether they consciously do it or not, find pretty or attractive things(What they consider attractive anyway) more appealing and agreeable, it paints a more tragic picture and is better storytelling while not being derogatory to the victim. You know why they're doing it, shut up.

but she is rather plain looking not at all pretty

True, anon. I would expect more from the nypost

The news isn't supposed to "paint a picture" or "tell a story." It's supposed to report objective facts. Go watch Shakespeare if you want drama.

And making a point of her good looks is insulting to both her and everyone else because it implies that her fate is especially tragic because what...she's pretty? It wouldn't be so tragic if she were less attractive? The value of a person's life is tied to their looks?

Fuck you.

Why does this shit always happen in Ohio? They're my state's counterpart, I'm worried for them.

this happens so much in australia,

tragedy is more tragic if the victim is a honey.

tragedy is tragic, but "so-so" victims get a short column in the paper, "good-looking" victims get front page selfies and weeks of airtime reporting the fact that no new facts are available.

Or, ya know, its just descriptive. Building a narrative gets the story read. And you're right 'news stories' aren't supposed to tell a story.

You're the type of person who complains about micro aggressions in todays culture arn't you?

>>71544
Her looks are relevant because good looking people taste better

Helps to also be white, middle class etc

It's not objectively descriptive, is the point. Sexual attractiveness or pleasantness is a learned construct, not something that you can easily-condense into a computation. Even if you were able to, it wouldn't matter that much.
