I think I have come to realize is that if you want to say something very controversial and be taken seriously, you need to be hot.

If you are not hot nor sexy, people will think you are annoying.

Being annoying is the kiss of death. If you become hot afterwards, you will be hot and annoying, but not controversial.

any examples? cos I feel like all the controversial takes come from people who are objectively not hot.

@0xdesigner is hot and has controversial takes but is not annoying.

Yes incredibly difficult to be hot as anon.

Often an anon will use mystery and intrigue to cover the disadvantage. Fatal mistake.

Anon hotness comes from being incredible aesthetic and having good taste. Vulnerable at the right moment. Open and supportive, but meaningfully talented.

hmmmm but he’s also anon we only know this from irl, what are your thoughts on how hotness aura translates to anon
