Yeah, I don't know--with an author like that, they could go either way, for "Their outer ugliness reflects their inner evil" or "sexy villains!" But it just seems like a ridiculous, offensive, stupid attitude to take to writing.
I read a book a couple of weeks ago where most of the villains were ugly, lower class, and fat.
UGH. I am furious that the Bitter, Evil Cripple is still such a common trope, as well.
