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.
the height of cowardice.
I mean I have a scar running the full length of my back (from neck to bum), and even though everyone I talk to says it's fine and barely noticeable, the stares I get at the beach or pool say otherwise
ugh that's so shitty, i'm sorry. people are so used to gawking at anything that violates their narrow standards of beauty.
i know it doesn't help at all but i said that because i personally think scars are hot. maybe i just have 18th century german duelist brain or something but they're basically rarer, unintentional tattoos imo.
i hope I didn't make you feel bad or uncomfortable or anything.
Nah you're cool don't worry.
She’s not just tall, she’s a hulking giant. She’s like 12 feet tall and muscular. Definitely not the “conventional beauty” but definitely has an audience still
I hadn't seen her in the game, only checked google images for pictures and didn't notice her size
then I watched a video of a cutscene with her and... my oh my
my cutscene in game was a buggy mess since I played opening week so I didn't even really see her, just a buggy tentacle blocking my vision
