Pretty important point, yeah. When we're talking about "attractive" or "ugly," we're talking about those values for a specific cultural group. Many human cultures have similar measures of attractive and ugly, but many have very different and often incompatible ones. You can easily have a human that is attractive to one culture, but ugly by our own (It's practically a trope, by now), much less something as culturally different as an orc or elf.
