He's a bit slow to catch on and terrible at insults and fun and overly enthusiastic, and I have a long history of loving that kind of character. I would've loved him no matter what he looked like.

That's a wonderful description for Kili, holy crap. Haha. And I agree, as long as the movies kept his personality the same, I would've loved him. (And I have a lot of complicated feelings on Thorin, but I DO love him, so I'm not going to ramble on that. But yea, agreed again.)

For me, I'm quite focused on personality rather than looks, and I think other people are the same, although I know not everyone is.

I won't lie and say that I can't be shallow, but when it comes to characters I care about personality, too. The most beautiful asshole of a character is still an asshole, and their looks aren't going to sway my opinion. Same for gorgeous boring characters. (And every other combination.) The conclusion that people jump to upon seeing that you like an attractive character is unfortunate, because you can like a character for who they are or find something fascinating about them and still find them attractive. (Or, hell, maybe you don't find them attractive at all. I'm sure there are people out there who don't find Kili hot. Everyone has different tastes.)

I don't see what's wrong with it either, for reasons you've already explained. And like you mentioned, just because they got into the fandom or source material for a hot guy doesn't mean they won't come to appreciate it in a way they didn't before, and become a big fan of it on it's own right. Even if they don't...that's one other person you can discuss the material with. Which imo, is always a good thing.
