Wouldn’t this meme have been funny whether it was a women in the photo or a conventionally attractive man doing a very saccharine smile?

That we are pointing out that the lady in the meme may not be perceived as conventionally attractive, when we don’t really need to.
Maybe we all feel collectively uncomfortable that we recognise that she is conventionally unattractive and the unfairness of life which leads to feeling cognitive dissonance, and end up expressing it as concern for her or outrage that she’s being used in a meme? When the crux of the joke may not really be her appearance, but rather the premise, someone peering into a box with a saccharine smile, photographed from an awkward angle inside the box itself.
I think the meme is funny regardless of who is portrayed as the ‘titan’.
