Societal beauty standards are a real thing... They aren't completely organic, set in stone, or inherently good or valid or anything like that but they do exist

Right, I wouldn't want to imply otherwise.

My point is about how years of "X is beauty" "actually beauty is subjective" discourse may have conditioned people to preemptively hedge their statements.
