    To be fair that does look bad, not on a character design level, but because it looks like this character was rendered by a Dreamcast

      It is a screenshot from a youtube video posted by someone who had an inherent interest in making the character look bad. If you have watched the trailer you will know the picture is not representative of how the character actually looks in game.

      Which is usualy what pepole are really complaining about . But somehow instead of saying graphics look like shit pepole will complain that main character is ugly, probably beacuse they dont know any better. Its similar case with the little mermaid for example where first and foremost you will see that main character was black but when you watch a professional critic the first thing ypu will see is that the film is extremely dark. Sp dark that its hard to see shit and thats probably a bigger reason why pepole are complaining. Ultimately there is very little complains about race gender or whatewer the fuck is actually controversial at the moment when the movie is good.

        As a person who has close relations with racism, this is lie and self-deceit.

          Agreed, people weren’t mad because Aloy wasn’t ray-traced heavily enough, they were mad she matched the game’s art-style and aesthetic instead of looking like the babe with huge cans from Underage Panty Quest XVII or whatever

          I disagree. Alghtough it might be country specifc for me. But generaly pepole dont know shit and atrribute bad movies flaw to being ‘woke’ whereas truth is its quite often the writing or technical issue ( but lets not kid ourselfs. The reason they atrribute race as an issue is actualy because they are racist ).
