To be honest, it seems like you're right. Belle's physical beauty was overrated, anyhow: as noted below, a woman with unparalleled beauty simply cannot be duplicated, or posed as, so if Belle could be posed by them, she certainly is not "unparalleled" in that department. Besides, in the same comic, there was also a woman who looked almost exactly like Belle (at least from the back) in the wife auction and despite that Gaston still turned her down.
Heck, I'm not even sure just what is it about Belle that makes her internally beautiful, anyhow? She's not religious (which is implied in the film by her not even acknowledging God, yet the villagers have actually acknowledged Him at least once, that plus her contempt of the village, see next point); she was somewhat arrogant (basically being condescending of her own village for being provincial. And she has the nerve to call Gaston "conceited." Not that Gaston isn't that, but if she's going to bother complaining about Gaston's conceit, she should not be conceited herself. At least I don't complain about my hometown being provincial or act condescending about it); she, while ranting about having to be Gaston's wife, kicked a bucket onto a chicken, scaring it; she broke a promise to the Beast as part of her staying (entering the West Wing); and when she was freed from the castle, she ended up backstabbing the Beast and his servants to a screaming mob. Yeah, sure, she was trying to save her father with the last bit, but honestly, she should have come up with a better way of doing it (I mean, geez, Belle, a mob of villagers were congregated at your house, not going to listen to your or Maurice's rationale and claims of sanity, and you've got a snarling Beast who from first visuals is roaring can understandably be seen as very dangerous. What exactly did you expect regarding how they would react? I'm willing to bet the proverbial farm that even my 3 year old niece once removed would see that this would be a very bad idea. This kind of stupidity was extremely uncharacteristic especially when she deduced the castle's status as enchanted just from casual observation of the servants, and while under duress regarding her imprisonment). Heck, even her love of books and learning doesn't really qualify as truly redeemable. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Jean-Paul Sartre, Karl Marx, Simone de Beauvoir, Percy Shelley, Michel Foucault, Voltaire, Diderot, Ernest Hemingway, and several other intellectuals certainly loved to read and learn (being philosophers, poets, and all of that), and they were absolute monsters on the inside, having a lot of blood and deaths on their hands, not to mention other amoral and unethical behavior, such as Sartre's dalliances with his female students, Foucault's homosexual activity and spreading of AIDS even after he became aware of it, Shelley cruelly treating several people who looked up to him like garbage, Marx driving his own daughters to suicide and his affair with his own slave, and Rousseau abandoning his own kids to an orphanage, which at the time was closer to a dog pound (even Gaston would never abandon his own children in such a cruel manner, at least not his sons, had he had any). That's not even getting into those physically responsible for the carnage, such as the Jacobin Club during the French Revolution, or the Bolshieveks during the Russian Revolution, or the Khmer Rouge during the Cambodian Revolution (and contrary to popular belief, they weren't anti-intellectual, as they were trained to do this sort of thing by Sartre, of all people, and by other French Communists during the 1950s, and besides which, the Angka Leu, the leadership council of the Khmer Rouge, were all composed of intellectuals (five being standard teachers, one being a university leader, one a civil servant, and one an economist).). They all made Gaston and even Judge Claude Frollo, of all people seem like kind-hearted, modest, and genuinely good people by comparison, which is saying a lot considering how they were like. Plus, I've had experienced more than a few teachers who tried to push their agenda on me.
Probably the closest things to truly redeemable behavior, and thus internal beauty was her at least being loyal to her father and possibly being kindhearted. Even then, I'm not sure the loyalty to dad part is truly redeemable. Betty Hilder, the founder of NOW, was loyal to her mom, yet she fully supported Stalinism, and even advocated (albeit with some prodding) for abortion during her activist years (that's killing the developing baby). Jesus himself said that even the most evil father would not feed his own child a rock instead of bread. TBH, if I were to do a fanfic regarding Beauty and the Beast and the French Revolution, Belle would either meet Marie Antoinette's fate at the hands of the Jacobin Club/French Revolutionaries (best case scenario) or become a Jacobin herself and cause countless atrocities (worst case scenario). For the middle, if she escapes France with Adam, she'd probably end up pulling a Frankfurt School-type scenario and spread more of that sickening ideology anyways even after having to escape with her life because of that ideology.

i`d watch a movie called "beauties and the beast" about the girls and gaston`s adventures of legalizing polagamy

I don't think, given the standards of the time, they would have supported polygamy (the Bimbettes alongside the rest of the villagers save for Belle are implied throughout the filmΒ to be devout Christians, Catholics most likely, something that back then and even today is considered a strong taboo, though present day France is probably different. Then again, for some reason they supported Gaston's plan to persecute a harmless crackpot as blackmail towards Belle.). Don't know about Belle, though, she seemed leftist from her behavior (and I don't mean that in a good way).
And yeah, I agree, never understood it at all that Belle was considered more beautiful, especially when the Bimbettes could just as easily act as a stand-in for one of the girls in Dead or Alive, and in fact they kinda do because of Helena Douglas looking almost exactly like them, and even being of French descent. Plus, a woman who has her looks being easily impersonated by her inferiors really doesn't qualify as "unparalleled" beauty in even the physical sense, which, BTW, is exactly what Laura [the amber one] did in one of the comics, disguised herself as Belle with little more than a dress and a brown wig, with it actually working and being a very realistic disguise.

I'm pretty sure any polygamy charges brought against them would be forgiven on the grounds of them having one hive-like mind.

I'm going to have to agree with you there

Even the nastiest of people have their fangirls!

Excuse me, but you should think back to how immoral homosexuality was thought of at that time.

Not to mention incest in every meaning of the word, since they're biological sisters.
And speaking of coralinefan's comment about the "nastiest of people have their fangirls," I get the feeling Belle will be a very big fan of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's works, alongside that of other French Philosophes such as Voltaire and Diderot, maybe even Sade, and would probably join the Jacobin Club to implement their ideas with zeal (which wouldn't end well for anyone).
