"when you are spectacularly intelligent and talented, your appearance and weight should not be an issue" That's just goofy. When I see someone on the street that I do not know, I have no idea how intelligent or talented they are. When I see an obeast though I can tell that there is something wrong with them and that is probably going to carry over into our interactions. It means you put your own comfort, self indulgence, and instant gratification above all else and that makes for a really shitty human.  Being obeast is a clear external sign of internal failure.
