Fuck it I'll say it... I think she was kinda cute. If she got bullied for looking like that it really shows how awful our society is and what it does to us all. No wonder she's broken. It could have been any of us, really. Genuinely sad to think about.
I mean... personally, I do not find her kinda cute, but I realize that everyone has different things in different combinations that make them appear attractive to them.
I do totally agree that it should not be the case that an arguable adorkable looking person should be mocked and treated cruelly for their looks alone, but also, I graduated high school not too many years before she did... and well yeah, high schoolers are very often demons with skin suits.
Also... her wiki says her family, her upbringing was pretty violent, and her brother has/had schizophrenia.
So... having been around schizophrenics myself... yeah that can be basically maddening.
I agree that it is a tragedy to some degree, but I feel like that stops mattering as an excuse or explanation when you start to do as much and as significant broad (and direct) harm as she has done.
On the other hand...

She was definitely cute. What happened to fill her with vile hatred I can't say, I don't know what she went through. But the cute Laura there might as well be dead now. Replaced by a dark, evil one. And her looks have mirrored the darkness in her soul. It's a shame that people turn bad. But just like food, it affects the look of it as well. And I understand someone's personality affecting their subjective attractiveness to you, that's normal. But she wasn't always like that. Most people weren't. It takes some kind of outside force to make someone's internal views become that shitty, I don't believe people naturally suck that bad.
Also high energy chemistry and good metallurgy. But those also get pretty bright st least briefly, do maybe it still holds.
She looked like a normal human being before the plastic surgery to become Jigsaw
I'm high school, you can get bullied for four years for mispronouncing a word in English 1. "Hey, there goes ex-eno-fobe Joe."
So, same as it ever was
Nope. I had a conscience. A shitty one at that age, but a conscience.
