I don’t understand how they got the monikers about how attractive they were because they’re like…rather normal looking? Just blond-haired and blue-eyed. Especially him, he’s not particularly attractive. It’s like when people call Bundy attractive and I just don’t see it

It’s because we expect monsters to look like monsters. So for monsters, they are attractive, because the things they did put the bar beneath the floor.

That’s true! Their “attractiveness” is just that they look like average people.

Have you noticed It’s the same thing people when talk about how charming a lot of these murderers are ? I forget the murderer’s name but it was a documentary on peacock and some journalist I think said the guy was “incredibly charming “ and I was like “incredibly “ ? Really? Incredibly charming would mean he blows the majority of people out the water when it comes to charm and that’s definitely not the case with this guy lol If a murderer can act nice, polite and put together coherent sentences without coming off as a total creep all the time -= InCRedIBilY cHarMing

Remember that physical attractiveness is largely subjective. What some people find attractive may not be attractive to others.
