Sorry that happened to you, OP, but you still come off sounding like a dick here. Seems like a bad experience reinforced your feeling of superiority over the ~fandom stereotypes based on your appearance, and that's pretty shitty.

Not the OP

It's not feeling superior, you feel kind of helpless. Here you are a geeky girl making other geeky friends. Then suddenly when they realize you're pretty they hate you? That's fairly hurtful. Like what am I supposed to do about that? Like I'm supposed to be ashamed of my looks because I happen to be attractive? I don't think that's right.

You're absolutely right - you shouldn't feel ashamed and it was wrong of people to hate on someone for being pretty. It's absolutely hurtful.

"Fuck you all, you're all bitter and ugly" is not in any way a valid response. It's a pretty shitty response, actually. And I think that's what people are responding to negatively, and seeing as "feeling superior".

Well I think some people are misinterpreting that line. I can really sympathize with the OP, that's why I responded to the first anon. I've been to conventions and met other people and all the "conventionally less attractive" girls hated me except for the one "conventionally attractive" girl. I was so hurt by that. It was like they were projecting all the people who bullied them or made them feel inferior onto me. Like suddenly I'm a bitch because I happen to be attractive and like to dress fashionably.

So yeah, I do think there are so called "ugly" people who can be really bitter, condecending, and cruel just because they feel insecure about themselves. I highly doubt she's feeling superior at all. (if this isn't a troll secret) but that's just my two cents on it.

AYRT

Responding to people who are shitty to you with I BET THAT MEANS THEY'RE ALL UGLY is reinforcing the sense that your conventional attractiveness somehow allows you to be less petty than all those uggos on the internet. Fact is, pretty people are shitty to each other on the internet too.

It has nothing to do with how you feel about yourself, it has to do with how you react to criticism, even undue criticism.
