Is it because of the scars? It's already been pointed out here that she's pretty conventional as far as beauty standards go, a tall blonde white woman with straight hair.
What about Lae'zel? She's the "odd-looking" waifu that everybody was talking about, she would be much more convincing as an example. Even so, her face and skin tone are the only unusual things about her, she's still an athletic woman in good shape, as defined by common beauty standards... I don't know, I can see where they're coming from with this, but the argument simply doesn't hold up when you use BG3 characters, who are almost all conventionally beautiful, as examples.

It's because in-game she's boisterous and strong and doesn't act like a passive piece of furniture, which is what these freaks want
Also probably the fact she's gay
I mean scars are a pretty big deal. Many are still grossed out by large scars, even if they act otherwise.

What's with the weird dehumanising cop lingo these guys insist on using? He could've said "the average joe", "regular dudes", "normal guys" etc
It sounds more clinical and scientific to them. 
You see, the male of the human species has very specific tastes.

Normal hewmon males
Beauty standards aside, this is the dumbest part:
Not if you want normal males to buy your stuff
BG3 has been a colossal success. It came out three months ago and it’s still topping sales charts, which means that either no one else cares about the things this sad loser cares about, or the sad loser demographic isn’t worth catering to.
Are there any websites where I, a normal male, can talk to other normal males exclusively?
I'd really like to bounce my faux intellectual and prescriptive ideas about art without being oppressed by non-normal gender identities.
Lesswrong, probably

Baldurs Gate 3
Is this just "fuckin pronouns" but for checks notes... tall blonde white women?
so in a game where you can meet a dragon the thing you normally don't do that's the fantasy is talk to a woman
Look up the "historical accuracy" mods for BG3 that remove "historically inaccurate" blackness from one of the playable characters. In a fucking fantasy setting with dimension hopping squid people.
Historically accurate
Wtf is this sentiment that keeps getting regurgitated about fantasy settings. It's not historical to begin with. Why would it need to be historically accurate. Let alone the fact that these people don't want accuracy they want 
.
everyone knows black people were invented in the 1960s
The Witcherino had le epic grown-ass adult cussing, le sexy sex, and most importantly lots of historically accurate white people in a fictional setting 
Daily reminder of the weird ass Fallout 4 mod that removes anybody non-white and takes women out of combat roles...

Only the uncreative and those with an axe to grind advocate for escapes to reflect reality
you may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like
That headline confuses me. Dame Aylin is not only conventionally attractive but is also a strong boisterous meathead who kicks total ass. What's not to love?

Normal male moment.
"Games are aspirational products" Spoken like someone with more worms than brain
nothing should be made to appeal to men like this ever again. let them live in a completely barren room for their entire miserable lives

sorry guys but dame aylin is for the gays
She looks like a tall somewhat muscular lesbian who is very hot, idk why they act like that's taboo
Why do they always speak like this? Do they think if they use enough words and commas they can obfuscate the basic fact that they down bad for some digital booba?
tbh they are prob a teenager
