there's something to be said for ugly emperor's child and slaaneshis in general, I think. beauty as a form of mediocrity. sure there's the perfectionism and golden ratio faces and that, in itself, being extremity. no one perfectly fits the golden ratio or whatever, no one is 100% attractive. it's uncanny valley. and so, in a way, "traditional", "researched" beauty can be appealing to them. but I'm far more interested in the inverse and, to my mind, the more common thing they're a fan of -- being ugly as sin. features that might be considered conventionally attractive taken to unattractive extremes (square jaw? try having a head shaped like a cube), visible and intense "undesirable" traits, etc. where's the pleasure in everything looking the same, all monotone shades of golden ratio faces and "ideal" WCRs and WHRs? the researched ideal WCRs and WHRs don't even fall into extremity! too extreme and people don't find it attractive anymore!
