I bet Rockstar is thinking twice about *checks notes* making a normal looking female character.

Wait do people not like the new GTA lady?

A very tiny loud minority on the Internet.

Those people confuse me. GTA6 protag is realistic but still at model level of conventional beauty.

It's not like Sarah Rider (Mass Effect Andromeda) or Jesse Faden (Control), who aren't as "conventionally" attractive. Although after writing that, Jesse is super hot, and I'm not sure if I've been gaslit by the internet into thinking she's not "conventionally" attractive.

Being charitable and taking these people at their word, I feel like with the more divisive examples it's a problem with modern lighting being softer and more dynamic? Leading to more "bad" angles and softer looking features. Most professional photoshoots have very contrasty and deliberate lighting, so maybe they're too used to that?

Jesse Faden is modeled after a soap-opera actress lol, are people really saying she's not attractive?

Jesse Faden not conventially attractive? Wow, the internet is a wild place

She’s not white, that’s all it takes for many of them.

This is the first I'm hearing of it, but I'm sure there's a non-zero % out there

Incels don’t like seeing a woman have any sort of power over their own lives, or seeing non-white/white-asian women
