Yeah but he was rich
Didn't peg Belle for being a gold digger though.
Books were a luxury
??? Isn't that the whole point of the story ? How is that a fun fact?
Maybe it's a similar situation like here (oglaf nsfw comic):

TFW no filthy rich furry bf
She was probably pretty disappointed, too. Ew!
"No offense, honey, but do you think perhaps if I went back to that witch and asked real nice she could turn you back, but this time because you were good not because you were evil"
She didnt sign up for some random human, if she wanted that she could have had Gaston.
He was better as the beast.
Just like how Shek didn't know that Fiona would turn into a SBBW ogre. He was prepared to wear an angry skinny white girl like a condom
I didn't need that mental image. But since you have installed it in my head, I am honor-bound to upvote.

Cue the Hulk/Black Widow GIF
I'm delighted to report that I have no idea what gif you're referring to, and I am happy to keep it that way
Since you asked

I'm no Disney expert but Belle is the only worthy Princess of the bunch
She wanted to pursue knowledge, not a boy or just fun; she dropped everything to save her dad instead of causing his death or dethronement; she was fully aware how disgusting Gaston was regardless of appearance; she was seduced by books not riches; and yes, she was ready to ride the beast
And then she founded the company "Bad Dragon"
I guess it's good that she took a Chance on him.

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.

I can't be the only one who was disappointed when the beast turned into generic inbred royal twink?
Not a real man like Gaston

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.
Jerk off before you write your comment next time.
Look, some of us are monster fuckers and you'll have to deal with it.

I wouldn't blame Belle if she was disappointed and called it off.
Tales can be cruel:
And people underestimate big dommy furries:

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...

Can't find another source for this tweet from either Twitter or Reddit, but here's a screenshot of this tweet by Twitter user @hiimbobbi:
Personally, Belle was not fooling me or anyone. When the Beast changed into a human, I saw that look on her face. That was DISAPPOINTMENT.
