There is no quibbling over "ugly." There is no quibbling over other vague descriptors that imply other informed traits like "sickly" or "plain." It is only when a player dares suggest a character is viewed in a positive fashion that players get their hackles up and start fleeing to the warm, inviting confines of subjectivity.
This is the wit thread, redux.
I think that's a little unfair.
People tend to react fine to such things. It's only when demands are made based on looks.Â
"My character is pretty!" seems not to be an issue, "Your character must find mine attractive" is. Or taken to it's extreme, "Your character should act a certain way based on that."
