Because their premise is fundamentally flawed: "Attractive" men include the trait "intelligent" by female raters. "Attractive" women often don't, it's a neutral trait, by male raters.
A lot of geniuses are perfectly attractive: reasonable bodyfat ratio, good lower back spinal curve, fine neck and arm lengths, great facial symmetry. But a lot of geniuses don't bother with becoming attractive as an additional action, because they don't need to be. So they neglect fashion sense, because a frumpy sweater is easier to wear, or because it's objectively a poor financial decision to "get your nails done" (seriously, a hundred bucks to use a nail file on you and some polish and laquer?!).
This is bait. The odds of being a victim of violent crime of any kind, including rape in that global statistic, is much higher for men.
Yeah, I don't consider that an ovarian cyst can form on me either, instead I worry about testicular cancer. Wow, men and women have different problems on occasion. You have to look at on the whole, and on the whole, the odds of a man or woman causing you some kind of major physical and mental trauma through violent or non-violent application of their selves upon you is straight-up riskier and more harmful to men.
"Any and everything he did across a decade of time, it's all covered, any and everything" is, to you, "the least of his crimes"?
What the fuck did he do in December 2013?! Because the only way this covers the "least" of his crimes, is if "anything and everything" he did for a DECADE was somehow dwarfed by what happened prior but still within statute of limitations, a very thin window!
Because you're not the President.
Look, fat, day 1 of the next term, he totally would have fixed it if re-elected.
Pippa's hardly the only one. Phase is held together by duct tape, prayers, and coffee beans. 10ma would definitely not be "modern audiences friendly" and be MADE to quit, and if the fox goes, so too would a lot of the rest of their talents... vShoujo might be a toxic workplace, but if you distance yourself from the other talents which they allow you to do, it's a valid safe harbor to rebuild a pastlife account. And they ARE picking up a lot of the castaways, they've picked up like a third of the grads these past two years.
Nothing prevents them from starting at zero, grinding, and hoping that they catch on.
But when Sakana shows up, and says "hey, you know that thing you're currently doing right now? I can have you keep doing the exact same thing, but earning six figures, instantly. By the time you'd build up an audience base to make the same, you'll already be a millionaire with us.", well, it's hard to argue with the logic.
Corporate comes with a built-in fanbase, a built-in marketing department that knows how to get clicks, tech staff to make trailers or even just edit your own content, admins and mods to handle social media and chat, and most importantly, a giant paycheque. Of course, you also get to take vacations, which realistically you can't do as an indie because even a week off will kill The Algorithm's favor of you, but with corporate they can puppet the account and have cross-over takeovers done quick and easy. The trade-off: they set actual quotas and expectations of you, and some of those expectations are high and/or hard to meet.
You don't know much about vTubers, consider it similar to actors. You could be an indie actor, acting on YouTube little independent projects, maybe some minor collabs, or Disney comes up to you, and says "you're the next main character in our multi-billion dollar franchise". That's basically the equivalent of Hololive approaching these indies: Waitresses weighing the pros and cons of going into porn to make ends meet being offered headline acts is the same wealth disparity as a 10-subscriber nobody being picked up by the company that gets their vTubers on the big screen at the Dodger's Stadium to sing the midgame shows.
EDIT: Corporate also comes with legal departments and security forces. Stalking and harassment are part and parcel of the job unfortunately, and so is copyright concerns both creating and breaching of them, so those two departments are very useful to have.
Leave the poor coffee merchant alone. He never asked to be saddled with a pile of menhera made manifest, he just wanted to sell his coffee.
Many of the big-name corpa ones do IRL streams, so unless you're also suggesting they hire professional voice actress impersonators pledged to secrecy that never break NDA, you're hunting far greater game than the Wild Goose, you're seeking the Red Herring.
It was either this, or stop importing beggar-class migrants, in terms of weighing down the NHS. And we know the UK gov't loves importing additional beggars and the criminally-adjacent. Even when the UK people voted saying "we don't mind if there's some economic damage, just stop importing the criminal beggars", the UK governments, several different ones, all said "you can take anything from us, millions per day, billions in deals, just don't stop sending more criminal beggars to us!"
Ironically, that certainly subverts my expectations, a Shamalan movie doing well!
And they're all subject to inflation fiscally and of scope.
I'd love a ranking of these things by Return On Investment. Biggest opening weekend by R.O.I. I think goes to Joker, but in subsections it would still be interesting to see, since many Broadway Musical movies use B-listers, and thus are much cheaper to make.
Remember, the droplets! The droplets only come out at the 121 minute mark!
...We've got a generation of youth now who unironically adhere to the precepts of "brainrot", I wonder if 2 years of development and growth being stolen from them has had any impacts...
Bearer, seek seek lest.
That's nothing. You can drive for 6 hours on any highway 10 miles out from San Fran, and still not make it into San Francisco.
why do I have to, out of the major studios, only have faith in Nintendo?
It's the only one whose headquarters isn't in Cali.
Or in other words, your corpse has value! Your loved ones should be paid 5-10k for it, otherwise, into the woods it goes!
We gonna need to start breeding more lions.
Step 4: Be invaded in the name of DEI and bombed to hell because Blackrock wanted a bit of your space-land on the cheap.
It's true, it was. But it was a different brand of it, focused on fiscal inequality (regardless of your thoughts on the merits of the complaints), which was actually a small bit successful at their "job", right up until they fell, suddenly and mysteriously, into race-and-sex-socialism and collapsed in a purity spiral.
A tiger and a lion may both be giant predatory cats you wouldn't want near your home, but it's still useful to know the distinction between the two as they have very different natures, and a lion suddenly becoming a tiger for some reason is something worth noting. The transformation from fiscal to racial socialism changed the beast entirely.
Don't bandy about "apparently" too liberally. For all we know, they wanted to make sure Queen Elizabeth wasn't black and so were fired because they didn't meet the DEI quota. The error is on Firaxis that console players didn't have access to bugfixes or DLC for firing the game's support company without having a replacement ready, not on the company that was providing it and then fired. Of course they aren't going to continue fixing bugs for it if they were fired.
I'm sure they're a plenty disfunctional company, all companies are and they did make the statue Modern Audiences-friendly and defaced in the first place, but your premise all on a "apparently" is not the best way to go about things.
Isn't this the guy who shot that chick in the face because he was pissed off, and then defended himself by saying someone else loaded his gun so it was totally legal and somehow that defense stood?
I did Masters' research on this well more than a decade ago, how diversity injection is best used to break up unions and solidarily of a workforce leading to a cheaper and less demanding human resource to be used in greater excesses. Even back then, basically all the research was in basic agreement on this, "yup, you want to have employees at each-other's throats over their low pay, not at your throat, so you do lots of diversity initiatives!", it was standard knowledge. It also reduced productivity, but most workforces were overstaffed a bit anyways so a bit of lost theoretical maximum didn't really hurt.
Employees worried that there's a gender or race pay gap don't worry that you're paying them piss-all, and they don't trust their coworkers so they won't unionize as readily.
This was BEFORE Occupy Wall Street, mind you, so the sudden obsession during that for the Left to be race-and-gender-baiting isn't really mysterious, it's simple injection of a philosophy that they knew worked really well to sabotage and break down the movement. Alas, I don't think the Powers That Be realized just how effective their agent's sabotage was, given the damages it is causing now.
DEA no, DEI yes!
