For instance, I posted the WMG about the attractiveness thing, but not because I hate her (just the opposite, she\'s actually one of my favorite characters). Rather, it seemed odd to me from watching the anime, and especially from reading the book with Ryuuji\'s internal monologue, that there was almost no mention of her physical attractiveness. Even Ryuuji usually refers to her energy and bright personality more than her looks, while almost every other female character has her beauty pointed out at least occasionally in addition to her personality traits, especially Ami and Taiga. In addition, as you\'ve seen all over the pages, she seems to be bisexual, although the anime played that up a lot more than the light novel did. So, I thought the logical conclusion was that she\'s either not considered that attractive InUniverse, or she\'s a well known lesbian and none of the guys that would normally make those comments bothered thinking about her because of that. Or both. Or maybe she\'s too weird for them, but you\'d still think there\'d be the odd comment about the hot quirky girl in the class. In any case the responses to that WMG seemed to completely miss my point for the most part.

For instance, I posted the WMG about the attractiveness thing, but not because I hate her (just the opposite, she\\\'s actually one of my favorite characters).

Even Ryuuji usually refers to her energy and bright personality more than her looks, while almost every other female character has her beauty pointed out at least occasionally in addition to her personality traits, especially Ami and Taiga. As I mentioned in the WMG, she also seems to be the only main character without another person interested in her, which seems strange to me since, as a response mentioned, she seems like a lot of fun to be around and fun people are often very popular. In addition, as you\\\'ve seen all over the pages, she seems to be bisexual, although the anime played that up a lot more than the light novel did. So, I thought the logical conclusion was that she\\\'s either not considered that attractive InUniverse, or she\\\'s a well known lesbian and none of the guys that would normally make those comments bothered thinking about her because of that. Or both. Or maybe she\\\'s too weird for them, but you\\\'d still think there\\\'d be the odd comment about the hot quirky girl in the class. In any case the responses to that WMG seemed to miss my point for the most part, seeming to be more about defending her than taking it at face value.
