A few points.

Even if you share several features with Kristen, unless you are identical twins separated at birth, they are not calling you ugly. Javier Bardem and Jeffrey Dean Morgan look very much alike and I've heard many people say they can't tell them from one another or even that they thought the actors were the same person.. But I have heard equally as many people say that they prefer one of them to another or that they find one attractive and the other not. The combination of features that is unique to each face is important, not just how pretty they are on their own.

Not to mention, the way someone carries themselves matters a great deal. I find Kristen very pretty to look at in pictures - but when I saw Snow White, all I could notice were her teeth and mouth. I don't think her teeth are ~omg so ugly~ and she shouldn't be shamed for showing them, but at the same time, her mouth was very distracting and unappealing for me to look at because she almost never closes it. And on the other hand, some people look way better in motion, but photograph horribly. I don't know what it is for you, but I guarantee you, you and Kristen do not look the same to others. So stop projecting.

Finally, I don't see anyone judging her solely on appearance. They are either judging her appearance (which is something they are perfectly within their right to do) or acting talents, but I have never seen someone judge her as an actor because of her looks. How would that go, even? "She's a bad actress because she's ugly to look at"? From what I have seen it's either "she can't act" or "she's not that pretty" or both, but not a combination of them.

P.S. Another thing to consider is that although she's pretty, Kristen's features are rather common and not striking, so she doesn't stand out all that much among the other pretty 20-something thin and petite white actresses with dark hair. I think many of those mean comments about her were made in reaction to this particular movie and Twilight because they were trying to present her as this great "special" beauty. I can only speak for myself, but I see girls who are just as attractive as her and girls who I find far more beautiful every day in real life and I have seen SO MANY actresses who have the same type as her, so for me that was really laughable. Especially when the comparison was made between her and Charlize Theron.

SA

I didn't see the comment from sparklywalls above before posting this, but see it for the illustration of the second point. They just don't like the expression she constantly makes. That's completely normal and while it applies to Kristen for them, I doubt it would apply to you.
