The author probably did that so (some of) the reader's won't romanticize that teacher to the victim/s or justify the things they do because they look good or maybe average..? Don't get me wrong it's still bad to always make the creepy characters plus size and unattractive, but hope you get my point>_< (also, the peeps in the comsec should hate her for being a weird ass pedo and not always just point out her appearance..
fr why do these tropes even exist in the first place. Most pedos irl are attractive people and that's why there are so many victims.
I agree, I don't think I've ever read anything with a pedo or a creep that is painted as wrong where they're hot. I feel like authors love to draw villains 'ugly' to show that if you're a bad person you're also ugly outside and it also creates a space where the commenters and the characters can now insult their weight, appearance and everything.
But also, when villains are drawn hot, people go out of their way to justify, sexualised, glorify or just ignore their behaviour.
I wonder if we could ever find a piece of media that manages to make a beautiful creep be regarded in the terrible way they deserve
Of course the author had to make the evil pedo teacher fat and ugly, how else are you to signify someone is bad but have an appearance you don't find attractive and you can easily make fun of! Wowee!
I'm just sick of this damn trope, it perpetuates the idea that beautiful people can't be creepy/pedos/etc which is dangerous. Stop acting in the comment like she's evil because she's ugly and overweight, jfc she's a pedophile. "Burnt bacon" this, "Pigpen" that, if the victim was overweight as well would you be slinging these insults so casually??? Wtf
