But she recently played in a movie where being overwhelmingly attractive was required for the role. Instead, we got a dark-circles-under-her-eyes, hunchbacked, open-mouthed stoner playing opposite of Charlize Theron. Where is the sexism in finding her unnatractive?

There are certainly actresses the media loves to catch looking terrible, but that's because they normally look nice. The thing with KStew is that she's not criticized for occasionally looking bad- she is almost always criticized for looking bad at times when she should be looking her best, such as in movie roles.

I think there is always going to be a problem when the character in question is supposed to be 'overwhelmingly beautiful'. They have to choose someone, and there are always going to be people out there who say 'what?! that person is hideous!' The same thing happened with Edward Cullen. A character that is basically described as the universal beauty, someone that EVERYONE finds the most attractive under every circumstance, is not possible to cast. They might as well just go with the hype and pick the person that is considered very hot right now, then they have a good chance of having the majority of moviegoers being okay with it.

I really don't understand why this was such an issue. Yes, if you're being shallow, Theron blows Stewart out of the water. But in the context of the move:

- The evil queen's beauty is artificial
- Inner beauty - the queen was beautiful but her soul was ugly

But everybody kept focusing on the superficial. I don't think it was sexism (though, there was probably some of that - women constantly get their worth judged based on their looks) so much as people just have an irrational hatred of KS.

I'm sorry, did you somehow miss the basic plotline that Snow White is prettier than the Evil Queen, i.e., the Evil Queen's whole reason for wanting to kill her? I have never seen the Disneyfied version that people confuse for the original deviate from this basic story.
