How to treat the mainstream aesthetics of white, thin and young?

I don't think "young" in the standard of "thin and young" means younger. It seems that only we are smart and know that we prefer young people. I agree that youth is the universal instinct of biology, and the praise of western aesthetics to the old lady is self-evident. Grga's facial features are also very young.

And simply liking youth will not develop into what it is today.

The essence of "youthfulness" is the weakening of secondary sexual characteristics and the aesthetic convergence between men and women. While men are feminized, women are also "de-feminized" and become children who lose their sexual attraction.

This cannot be explained by a "post-colonialism". I'm afraid it comes more from our own cultural repression and the weakening of the overall consumer demand in society, and we are stepping into a low-desire society.

Both men and women no longer emphasize secondary sexual characteristics because it is too exciting and aggressive. And a society with weak desires cannot accommodate these desires.

People begin to prefer "children" who look safer, or adults like children, regardless of gender. Covering up the secondary sexual characteristics, the visual age is younger. All the signals representing "wildness" and "adventure" have been eliminated, leaving only a complete sense of security. All people with aesthetics must be childlike and harmless.

In fact, this kind of aesthetics was quite common in ancient China, and the traditional small-scale peasant society was also a typical low-desire society. Coupled with the influence of feudal ethics, we can't see that explicit desire in stories, paintings and daily clothes.
