Presumably she wasn't just prepared to ride the beast, she actively wanted to be ruined by it.
She was probably disappointed when the transition happened. She thought she was going to be raw-dogged by the monster.

That’s like, the moral of the whole movie is that she didn’t judge him for his appearance and wasn’t expecting a prince. I figured this was well known.
That's the interpretation from the modern perspective on relationships. The tale is from a time where women (well, more like girls to be exact) were married off without any say of their own, and the tale was supposed to tell them "hey, we know the guy we're forcing you to marry seems like a hairy monster, buuuuut if you can look past that he might be nice actually!"
But in the Disney movie which the picture is referencing, it’s not a forced marriage, which is the version I think most people think of.
To me, the original tales all felt like the Murphy’s Law of storytelling. While they are the originals and are much more mature material, I honestly feel the vast majority of Disney adaptations (I’m talking classic 2d series run) are better at teaching the lessons to a modern audience than the original stories. Times change and art often reflects this.
Sadly, the pendulum has swung too far the other way and we’re remaking material in a span of time that the lessons haven’t changed all that much. That’s why you can go back to pretty much all eras of film and get valuable lessons from it because the lessons all still apply. It’s just that much of a new medium.

Right, Beauty, and the author's thinly veiled fetish.
I know you're kind of joking, but the story was written during a time where girls would often be married off to older men they didn't know and the story was meant as a comfort/encouragement to these young girls that he may be ugly and old and not really what you dreamed of, but maybe he turns out to be an actually kind person who can give you a good life and you can learn to love him despite his looks.
or she was into furries
I have to imagine there’s a meme or comic of Bella being all super excited ready to bang becoming disappointed once he transforms back into a human, but I wouldn’t know how to search for it without having to sift through piles of rule 34 to find one. I’m not brave enough.
Watch the scene again. She was disappointed at least for a moment.
Now that I think about it, I certainly was disappointed. He was a hot muscular beast until he turned into a cookie cutter long haired twink. Should have been a clue.

"that is not what I signed up for goodbye!"
I mean if your partner comes out one day and wants to transition, you can still be happy for them even if you don’t want to stay in a relationship with them. No shame there.
TBF, the stories that Disney's been strip-mining for generations're crazy dark, originally.
- Sleeping Beauty woke to find she'd had two children, and now they were teens nearly as old as she was when she fell asleep. 🤮
- The Little Mermaid was double-crossed by a human princess last minute, and was turned into seafoam (died). 🥹
- ad nauseum...
I have a book of the originals that I just haven’t sat down to read yet. I need to
They're so clearly puritanical propaganda from way back that I'm consistently disappointed with modern society for slurping up Di$ney's candy-coated versions that instill 99% of the same bullshit: stay at home forever, don't defy your father/mother, royals are the magic cure-all, you're born special (the world just doesn't know it yet), etc.
Between that steady stream of insidious hopium in the communal well and Religion® still holding global sway, I honestly have very little hope we'll avoid extinction by our own hands, NGL. It's not an if, it's a when. 😄🫣😶
Imho it just makes more sense to consider most Disney characters as asexual.

Worse bit is when Geralt turned up
Did the older live action one get a new actor or did it just become Ron Pearlman without make up?

Is it worth reading? I've played Witcher 3 and saw the first (sometimes good, sometimes shit) series of the show, but never read any...

If that happened to me, I'd be upset when they turn back into a human.
I think a lot of us already knew...
He was still a wealthy prince, no? If he was charming and kind on top of that, I think a lot of women wouldn't mind, even ones that aren't furries or monsterfuckers.
If I've ever watched the movie I don't recall it at all, admittedly.

You say that as though she's the exception to the rule
