aesthetics is not always the same as “pretty” or “inoffensive”

aesthetic implies an appreciation of beauty and i fail to see the beauty in this terrible accident. my apologies if you disagree.

Anyone can find anything beautiful in any way, reguardless of how you feel about it.

There’s also this thing called respect and basic compassion.

Or even just like, common sense and awareness. Unless you don’t mind getting dragged on the internet common sense would tell you saying that thought out loud wouldn’t go over well.

But no-one expressed their opinion quite so forcefully as this French Twitter user.

And this is with people made of that.
