I think everyone here's missing the point. He's not complaining that the character isn't conventionally beautiful, he's complaining that she's too conventional.

Okay, then exactly what kind of 'less conventional' woman do you figure this screeching "normal male" would want? Disregarding that our boy here is bitching about her being remotely realistic, lol

How should I know? I'm just pointing out that everyone here saw a guy complaining about women in video games and assumed he wanted conventional beauty without actually reading it.

Well, that's pretty much what this is code for. When he says about how only those lacking imagination want art to parallel reality, what he means is he wants big booba video game sex haver waifu awooga That women in games who look anything remotely like how women actually do is wrong to him. Same strain of brainworms that causes people to screech about Aloy being too masc in Horizon Zero Dawn.

Type of guy who demands his girlfriend shave every individual hair off her body or he leaves.

No, you're being obtuse. He is advocating for an idealized appearance according to conventional tastes, i.e. what a "normal male" finds ideal.
