These threads would be way more enterteining if people where forced to use their real life pictures as profile pictures.

Isn't beating the male gaze through the means of ugly & masculine female leads self-defeating, as it admits a universal female beauty standard that's feminine?

I also think it's really important to put things into perspective, and not throw everything under the blanket of 'woke', which forgoes further nuance. Take Aloy, for example: she is a little pudgy, but definitely still pretty.
Whereas if you profess to be a heterosexual male who finds the ND main character sexually attractive, I'd argue you have latent homosexual tendencies (I'd actually like to hear from gay guys how they feel about him/her, that'd be fascinating). But I admit even that's a spectrum, that's just where I personally put the line.
What it ultimately comes down to is, it seems more like a political "fuck you" to straight men than an artistic decision. Aloy is not even close to being in that ballpark.

Plenty of games with hot dudes and hot ladies have flopped. These games that flopped "because of ugly female leads" or "beCuZ wOkE" all had glaring flaws that contributed more to them flopping than the MC design.
Either way, this cockroach riddled dude is the last person I'd go to for advice or insight about looks.

For me, it's less the uglification and more the "girlboss" archetype that puts me off. I don't need a character I find attractive - it helps make the experience more pleasurable, but it's not central to my enjoyment. However, I do need a character who is not both boring and annoying. Girlboss characters are almost invariably both boring and unlikeable. That's the real issue afaic.

This is ultimately the decision of the creative direction of a Game and can have influence in it's success, in both directions. Just as much as a Bad Story. I think the key here is authenticity. If you can't make it feel real, it's on you..
Nevertheless, be real, haters gonna hate no matter what.

Some gay guys prefer manly men, some more feminine men. I don't think a whole lot of gay guys has the hots for ugly masculine women.

Yet 'bears' are a huge thing in that culture. And most are hairy, coke bloated, fugly men.

Sure ... but the draw is still masculinity (hairy body, full beard etc) even if they're not traditionally "pretty"? Also, muscle bears are a thing

Okay okay. But we can agree that if the chozo left all that hair on her head then they certainly left her with a huge bush too.

She looks more like the boxer briefs style "stud."
Why does she look like Will Smith's son ?

I watch his videos because some of them are entertaining but this is true. This guy is an absolute slob and there's no defending it.
Ahem, you mean 1000 year old dragons, right?

Age of consent in Japan was 13. I think it's 16 now.

Outdated law. Most prefectures have enforced their own age of consent laws for years now. A prefecture's typical age of consent ranges from 16-18. So no, no one is legally having sex with middle school age kids over there, not even the creator of Rurouni Kenshin.
