What I find funny about the general response to my ideology, is that most people understand that disliking ugly looking people is generally okay; I think most people also understand that ugly looks in people corresponds in a broad sense to how people are as people. I think most people also understand that there's an active need for appearance to tie into personality.
This is, in large part, what Ann's character was about-That her good-looks are absolutely vital to who she is as a person, and she learns to take control of this aspect of herself, rather than letting other people use it as a tool to abuse her.
Ann's character is one of the most misunderstood I've EVER seen, in basically all of fiction. I know I've reiterated this multiple times, but it's seriously worth repeating, because people act like Ann being cacophobic wouldn't make sense-or just broadly that my ideology is polar opposite to her, and I honestly sometimes feel like I played a different game to everyone else.
Like I've brought up before, I can't put blame on the fans entirely for this though, as I think Ann's character is pretty sloppily written in this regard.
Like, do I think Ann is canonically cacophobic? No.
What I do think, though, is that Ann's character demonstrates how piss-poor and inconsistent writing tends to get when you have men who are writing a "pretty girl with problem" in a way where they're very clearly tip-toying around just flat out being like "guys, believe it or not, some people build a personality around being good-looking and being seen as "the hot body" . Don't shame people over that, stop acting like it's wrong to put human worth in physical bodies. You don't have to pretend you don't like Ann only for her tits and ass. We get it. She gets it. We all get it".
Ann's character really had the opportunity to be something incredible, if they had written her with more focus on that "being good-looking can be a personality"/"there's genuine human value in peoples bodies" aspect of her character. But instead when we get is a stupid fucking watered down attempt at making a "nice girl" who can't seem to decide if she wants to make being good-looking her entire personality trait or not; so in the end, nothing from her character ends up really saying anything proper about an aspect that should've been the entire goddamn focus: being "the pretty one" is a valid persona, and building your life around wanting to pursue physical beauty (and, in reverse, wanting to destroy physical ugliness) doesn't make you a bad person.
