| If you're ugly (sometimes being unattractive is enough) then you will most likely get treated worse, that's how it is. |

| Western media inverts everything.

| Cuz they're ugly? :P Real life are with a lot of ugliness/ imperfection, so we chase pretty people in anime. |
| Can you define what you consider ugly and list a couple of characters as examples? Both ugliness and beautiness (is that even a word? Idc, you get what I mean) are pretty subjective. |

deg said: MISSed_Bandwagon said: There are ugly anime characters??? I've never come across any... Accel World got a fat ass main character and lots of people hate that anime because of that Well obviously because the hate is justified, look at how Arita looks, he is literally a pig, a fucking pig, and even worse is that he's different from all the other characters in the anime, how is that even possible? Its like they took a character from South Park and inserted it into this anime. And worse of all? All the girls are after his dick, like a harem. After all that shit, no wonder why people hate Accel World, its just there to make us feel pity for fat people. And it's not even a good try, its horrible and insulting. Read this review on Accel World, I'm pretty much trying to say that. |

| Remember that guy Takeo Gouda from Ore Monogatari? He's pretty ugly. But we love him! Because he's an ugly character done right. Now lets look at another ugly character who's ugly but also a little bitch, Arita from Accel World. That is the kind of shit we want to avoid. Now to answer your main question. I and more than half of anime fans don't want to see an ugly character, that's just how it is. I personally find this question pretty dull, I mean isn't it obvious? Why would a person want to see an ugly character? That's how it is in anime and that's how it is in real life, deal with it. Also yeah, ugly characters in anime are better looking than real life ugly people, so yeah you see where I'm pitching at? Don't try to relate real life with anime. Anime standards are way too high for real life. I don't know what is your definition of ugly, do you mean human ugly or....? If you're talking about human ugliness then that's just really impossible. Now that I think of it, there are ugly people in anime! Go search "Ugly bastard" on Google. There are a lot of them in anime and don't worry, they are having the time of their life |

| If Kasane ever gets an anime, all mal will lose its mind (main girl is ugly as hell). What can I say, about all the time ugly characters are not mains and people don't care about them, not enough screen time. |

| Are you asking why people prefer beauty to ugliness? Because it seems like that's what you're asking. |
| Can you consider tomoko kuroki ugly? |
 |
Luxurique said: It is implied that tomoko is ugly but she is portrayed in a moe light which makes it hard to say if she's actually ugly or not.That's a good question. Tomoko views herself as unattractive and desperately attempts to become more beautiful, so some of the show's audience do perceive her as ugly. But other people do view her as someone who is actually cute. In my opinion I view her as unattractive since it was intended for the anime's plot. |

| They are underappreciated just because they are ugly. This kind of discrimination can also be seen in real life. It's a really harsh truth. This situation has improved over the recent few years, though. |
| Underappreciated in which way? The OP wants a chart about who is the ugliest of them all? |
| Because most people like looking at cute and hot anime characters. |

Iune said: Like dude, most of them have cool personalities and some are even relatable to most of us. I born beautiful so I can't really relate with ugly characters lol. But you are probably right that most (male) MAL users only care about collecting waifus, but I am not like them, don't generalize thing please. |

| Well there's the saying the beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Beyond having a good personality, looks can pretty much make or break it for some. |
 |
| If I have to spend hours of my time looking at the same person, then I'd prefer they be attractive. I assume that a lot of other people feel that same way. |
| "If it's not big, it's only a bust," some guy on the internet |
| Most of the ugly characters I've seen are usually pieces of shit sooo... I'm not inclined to like someone who is A.) Ugly to look at B.) Consistently making me angry |
| "The world is not beautiful, therefore it is." -Kino's Journey |
| If a character is designed ugly, a lot of the times the show itself doesn't think that highly of them in my experience. For example, Glass Mask's Chigusa Tsukikage is a straight-up abuser and . And to match that kind of personality she looks like this: Meanwhile, you have other ugly characters like teruteru(DR2) whose just a very stereotypical pervert character whose only interesting part about that is that he's a bisexual and sometimes uses food for his perversions: ^which makes him better than say most pervert characters who show it in a similar way(i.e saying creepy personal stuff and overstepping boundaries in their lust), but worse than say the other DR2 characters. And then you have the prime minister of Akame ga Kill, and he's pretty par to the course when it comes to the villains in that show. In other words, 1-note and very forgettable. There are good characters who aren't conventionally attractive, but most I remember are in obscure shows like Anne of Green Gables, Laughing Salesman NEW, or Bokudolls. I mean you do have Ryoma from DRV3 and Yamada was fine from what I remember from DR the anime, but that's pretty much it. The other non-attractive characters aren't that good imo. |

| because they ruin my hentai. Also most ugly characters aren't meant to be likable |
   I swear, I don't have a thing for blondes. |
| It's one of those shitty tropes across all fiction, like we can only care for a character if he/she is a normative beauty. There's also that stylized "ugly" is often appealing because it still tries to be catchy to the eye. AquaMailman said: Western media inverts everything.

Before things went all Shrek (exactly the inversion I'm talking about), we had Sleeping Beauty and Snow White etc. What fiction today? Harry Potter? Some bespectacled dork and his ginger dork friends? Ugly Betty got 4 seasons. The female Ghostbuster remake had a fatass and a fatass gorilla. The preferred protagonists in woke world are unremarkable ugly misfits. |
| Where are your examples? Don't get me wrong, I'm sure "ugly" characters are less popular, but I also think "ugly" characters are probably not often written to be likable. But if there is a well written "ugly" character, who is not just written to be hated, it'll surely make it more popular. |

| Underappreciated? Why would people appreciate ugly bastards in the first place? Almost all of them have rotten personalities that makes me puke. Whenever I see them, I instantly drop the anime. Ah yes, I'm talking about hentai, hahaha. I like many "not so handsome" characters in anime. Some of them are wholesome folks. |

The preferred protagonists in woke world are unremarkable ugly misfits. Anecdotal evidence doesn't make a case. And actually Ugly Betty doesn't help your case, Shrek is a parody, Ghostbusters is a remake of a nerd comedy from the 80s with women (so much for the normative beauty of the old cast yeah), and Harry Potter had child actors growing through their roles. |
| The author purposefully made the characters ugly just to have this kind of villain look.. |
