Perception of beauty is an individual value not a species one.

See:
Bestiality
Pedophilia (or paedophilia)
Furry fetishism
Tentacles
Chubby chasers

There are some constants. For instance, a picture that takes the aggregate of 100 faces will normally be ranked as more attractive than the faces that are used to create it.

Things like facial symmetry, etc.

Tentacle porn though... that does throw a wrench in this whole thing

Rape and helplessness fantasies are hardly uncommon. Tentacles are probably the ultimate example of a faceless captor.

or a response to Japanese pornography laws which don't allow for penises to be shown, or so I've been told.

I guess this brings in a new dimension. Are sexual fantasies indicative of a personal assessment of beauty?

It's true that current tentacle porn exists because of that but it dates back to before that. There's an infamous woodcut called "The Fisherman's Wife".

Only if the fantasy involves physical features.
