Quoted By:
The funny thing is that women like attractive women. "progress" aside, if you let them choose between a conventionally attractive or conventionally UNattractive character in video games or comics, they always choose attractive. Just like how men don't want to self-insert into an overweight weakling that never gets the girl, women don't want to self-insert into some hideous beast.
All of this -ALL of it- is just virtue signaling.
