i think historically pugs back then were much more reasonable looking dogs than pugs today, i'm pretty sure nobody today would consider having a pug's nose a compliment

I hope you understand that by sharing this post, Lemmy has come to understand that you are in fact beautiful, when accounting for your Middle-English heritage.

Small upturned noses have long been considered attractive in women, just you are right, pugs haven't always been that extremely deformed.
