Even with the argument that "dude it's pseudo neoteny", they're ugly because they aren't actually neotenous, their cheekbones don't have a similar mass to the cheekbones of their babies and toddlers.

Neoteny is less development. Less development of the face, bite, sockets, whilst still having enough development to maintain their functions. An asian face is like taking a white person's face and filling it up with bone on all angles. It's more development, therefore it's less actually neotenous. Even if this was an evolution to feign neoteny, it's not true neoteny, and it's precisely what makes them ugly.

It's also more likely that extra bone deposits evolved to counteract severe malnourishment. This is in line with other asian racial traits such as not excreting a lot of oil, having dry earwax, narrow hips/chests, and so on. That's what I think it is, it's ten thousand years trying to counteract malnourishment which gave them these traits. Ancient asian women didn't have gigantic faces because they developed under malnourishment.
