If he is ugly then I am a dinosaur. I call Apatosaurus. They're my favorite. I blame The Land Before Time.

Anyhoo, this is a kind of common-ish thing fandom does. Characters in the show/game/movie/book/whatever will joke about something and then the fic writers will be like, "OMG THE IDEA HAS BEEN STATED! THE ONLY INTERPRETATION OF THIS LINE IS AS COMPLETELY LEGITIMATE EVEN THOUGH CONTEXT WOULD POINT TO OTHERWISE."

Not all fic writers, obviously, but it happens enough to be irritating. Take a look at Jade from Tales of the Abyss. The man is 35. He jokes about his "old age" and uses it as an excuse sometimes to get out of doing work because he's lazy. This is all done for comedy. In fact, he's a colonel, has been in war, and it could be argued he's one of the most physically fit people on the team. But a lot of fic writers somehow interpret this into being that he really is a feeble old man. I am not even joking.

Fact of the matter is, unless the show beats people over the head with the idea Stiles's actor is attractive and stops with the jokes, there are going to be people who assume Stiles is ugly. I'm sorry. At least I don't think such interpretations are so widespread?
