I did take it to an extreme, but those were you're words dude. Sorry, I just have an issue with people mistaking asexuality in characters as bad characters or "safe" characters. They can be poorly written for, but asexuality regardless of gender shouldn't be viewed as such. Idk if they went in that direction to avoid sexualizing Aloy, but the way I read it is that she's a character who is excessively focused on a particular task (headstrong to a fault) and anything else is ancillary to that objective. As well, she is an outcast in her own village and only ever socialized with Rost until she is preparing to the Proving.
I just think Aloy is actually a well-written character and that several other primary players are also well fleshed out. I wish more of the side characters were written a bit better or had more screen time, but overall they did a good job.
