Transcript by OP

[fscom]

An unusual pairing in a secret got a really negative reaction with a lot of "ugh brain bleach" type comments. One user even assumed the relationship HAD to be non con because one half of the ship was ugly. I've always felt like my partner is way out of my league. Ever since that discussion I've been feeling extra self conscious when we're out together because I wonder if people think the same thing about us.

[ketita]

People on the internet are assholes, and generally lack a filter. I get that things like that can hit you in your vulnerability, but you definitely shouldn't take it to heart. Remember that your partner chose you. That's what's important.
I honestly don't think anybody seeing the two of you together would think that. That's a pretty nutty thing to think about people.

[rosehiptea]

This. People like to talk crap on the internet. You shouldn't let it affect your self-esteem about a real life relationship. (I get where you're coming from, even internet trolls bother me sometimes, but try not to let it bother you.)

[(Anonymous)]

Obviously I don't know what secret you're referring to. But I would bet money that it was ugly anon being ugly anon. And ugly anon is a rascal, and there's no truth to anything they say, and you shouldn't take it to heart at all.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry. I hope your self-consciousness on the subject eases. If people do judge that way, they are very shallow.

[(Anonymous)]

this is a beautiful secret. the font and the colours and the picture all come together beautifully!
I'm sorry someone made you feel that way OP. It's a garbage thing to say. Even if someone is the least sexually attractive person in the world to me I don't assume they're assaulting their partners wtf.

[morieris]

While I'm sorry for your anxiety about it....I'm having a hard time seeing how 'ugly person in a relationship = non consensual'.

Do they think they're blackmailing the 'pretty' person or

[(Anonymous)]

Has ugly!anon ever been rational, really

[(Anonymous)]

This, they're a troll. And not a very good one, either.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, people do pair characters who aren't in a relationship in canon, sometimes because they're on the opposite sides. Imagine if Draco Malfoy was hideous but people argued that this meant pairing him with Harry or Hermione HAD to be non-con because he's so hideous that they'd never consent to fucking him, etc. etc.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, Snape is canonically ugly but people do pair him with Harry and Hermione all the time, consensually.

[(Anonymous)]

Aww, OP, I'm sorry you were made to feel that way. *hugs* I honestly don't think anyone thinks that way about your relationship and, if they do, they can go get bent. You and your partner are together for multiple reasons and as long as you're happy together, that's all that matters.

[(Anonymous)]

Was in the Lwaxana Troi/DaiMon Tog secret posted a few weeks ago, anon?

[(Anonymous)]

honestly, among the cruel assumptions people might make, they're far more likely to think you're rich or great in bed

[(Anonymous)]

The most recent 'brain bleach' secret was Jabba/Leia non-con, wasn't it?

And seriously, I'm betting that there is no way seeing two humans in a consensual relationship would ever come close to that level of blech for most folks.

When I see a couple where one is conventionally attractive and the other is less so (perhaps overweight) I don't go blech. If I make any mental 'judgment' it's more that it's nice to see a couple who, at first superficial glance, are together for reasons other than "they are both so hot."

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, if this secret is about Jabba/Leia, then I don't think it's Jabba's ugliness that made people say it was noncon. I think it's that in canon Leia is enslaved by him, which makes any sexual activity between them non-consensual. And since it's hard to imagine Jabba ever voluntarily freeing Leia, and it's equally hard to imagine her staying if she were free, any form of consensual sexytiems between them seems a very remote possibility.

[dahli]

Your life partner is with you because of you, not because of your appearance or for what other people say or think about you two. Bet they also think you are the most beautiful person in the world for them.

[(Anonymous)]

First of all I will never understand being so vain about a fictional character - I ship out of love for the characters and love for the chemistry they have and it's possible that "ugly" characters are kind of my thing.

Secondly I'm sure other comments have already said something like this but try not to give a fuck about what other people think when they see you. Your partner loves you. You are the one they are with. Not those other people. When it comes to your relationship, other people are irrelevant. Aaaand you might wanna tell your partner that you're feeling self conscious.
