    My brother and I noted the propensity for some people born into wealth to be attractive as well. Braces when you’re 10 and a dermatologist when you’re 13 can have massive, lasting impacts decades later. Just a bit more invisible privilege those born to money get.

      Historically, rich people have been able to alter what people consider attractive too. There were multiple cultures across the globe that painted their teeth black because being able to eat a lot of imported sugar made your teeth rot.

      Straight up health problems being romanticized just because it was a problem only affecting the rich.
