Normal-Looking Woman Arrested for Drug Trafficking in Phnom Penh Market
Re: Normal-Looking Woman Arrested for Drug Trafficking in Phnom Penh Market
If personal appearance is relevant then it should be included, regardless of whether it is a male or female.
If in doubt, leave it out and let the readers make an issue of someone's appearance if they so wish (and at their own peril).

Re: Normal-Looking Woman Arrested for Drug Trafficking in Phnom Penh Market
I would say interesting descriptions are used whenever they can be, and we only started using 'normal' when some balked at the other ones. Most of the time they come directly from the Khmer news sources, LoL.
I thought this one was pretty accurate:
thailand-news-and-discussion/bald-heade ... 26084.html
Even the soup received an adjective.
"Life is too important to take seriously."
"Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh."

The only solution is a comprehensive and retroactive ban of adjective use on the site.
Enjoy
Enjoy
up to you...

FFS, I hope that common sense prevails and CEO doesn't turn into some kind of half-baked millennial safe space.
I'm beginning to feel that this entire generation should have been smothered in the crib.
Joke now, but this is where we're heading:

Re: Normal-Looking Woman Arrested for Drug Trafficking in Phnom Penh Market
I personally am concerned that identifying someone as a tuk tuk driver or a drug dealer stereotypes people. I think it would be best if the news item just stated "someone did something wrong" or "something bad happened somewhere", that way no one would feel belittled by descriptive words. Often people are described as elderly at age 60 in news reports or deportees are described as homeless, these are very hurtful descriptions that conjure negative thoughts and emotions.

Next thing we know we will have banned sating someones nationality in posts so others of that nationality are not subject to spurious innuendo regarding the offence alleged to have been committed.
Australia has got to the ridiculous state that a patron at a AFL game was removed from the game for calling an official referee "A bald headed flog"

Doesn't have to be all or nothing.. Maybe have more suitable, fun male descriptors. eg hansum middle aged man gets relieved of $$$ on the way to casino at oily massage place

Descriptive literature gives us our culture..
It's up to us, collectively, if we want to enrich that culture - or go to gross.
Arguing/discussing it helps us to get it right. For us.
Personally i have increasing faith that we CEO ratbags can handle a pretty open range of expression.
I don't think it is dragging us down. A bit the opposte in fact.

I like the descriptions, they provoke debate which is always good.
