i think get out obliquely touches on this too, the dehumanization of quantification. i think the horror is making implicit explicit and probably the reduction to a comparative statistic, which is also something youre supposed to pretend isnt happening all the timepic.twitter.com/k3M54dcbDb

I see a vague corollary between "I fancy this person and would like to court her at another's expense" and "Here is a list of the women worth courting," but I don't think it's strong enough for that analogy.
