When we condemn something as ugly, our aesthetic condemnation in independent of
our inclination to condemn the person or the object as 'ugly'. The common psychological parlance is
that you equate the 'ugly' with the expression of suffering and by projecting this kind of thinking on it we despise it.
In days gone by if something was anti-feudal it was deemed ugly. It was only later that the peasant
toiling the land became a fit subject for 'art' in the process morphing from 'ugly'
to noble and even beautiful.
