That’s like, the moral of the whole movie is that she didn’t judge him for his appearance and wasn’t expecting a prince. I figured this was well known.
That’s the interpretation from the modern perspective on relationships. The tale is from a time where women (well, more like girls to be exact) were married off without any say of their own, and the tale was supposed to tell them “hey, we know the guy we’re forcing you to marry seems like a hairy monster, buuuuut if you can look past that he might be nice actually!”
I know you’re kind of joking, but the story was written during a time where girls would often be married off to older men they didn’t know and the story was meant as a comfort/encouragement to these young girls that he may be ugly and old and not really what you dreamed of, but maybe he turns out to be an actually kind person who can give you a good life and you can learn to love him despite his looks.
I have to imagine there’s a meme or comic of Bella being all super excited ready to bang becoming disappointed once he transforms back into a human, but I wouldn’t know how to search for it without having to sift through piles of rule 34 to find one. I’m not brave enough.
Now that I think about it, I certainly was disappointed. He was a hot muscular beast until he turned into a cookie cutter long haired twink. Should have been a clue.

Being hairy monster makes you not-nice automatically?
It is part of the “monster” definition.
Otherwise it is called a creature.
Um, yea.
Now that you mention it, I wonder what that says about the shift of sexual morals. The original French tale was written in 1740.
Time’s only been around since 1740?
I mean, it’s a tale as old as time, so I guess that tracks
Right, Beauty, and the author’s thinly veiled fetish.
