It is so bizarre to me that regarding an article about a woman who wants to die because of constant mental anguish, the very first thing you felt was worth saying is "she is really pretty".

If I'm being perfectly honest, I don't entirely know my own point, I just had to comment on it because it stood out as do bizarre to me.

Bro's really doing the "nooo don't kill yourself your so sexy aha" meme

It is an odd and unfitting statement, but the feeling is genuine and not raw sexual desire. It is easier to relate to good looking people than ones with disfigurement. Some Special Books By Special Kids thumbnails gross me out brutally, even if it is not something I want to happen.
