Of course they do, blind people don't live in a black hole. They're subject to the same social discursive forces as their sighted brethren. It's ableist to assume otherwise :))))))))))

One would not be going out far on a limb to posit that people that can't *see* any of the images that we are bombarded with would have diferent standards. If that theory proves untrue, then it does tend to weaken the theory that the standards are due to the images.
