Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"
Dare just had a bizarre chin.
I feel like a few of her facial features were far more masculine than what is typical/natural. When you are a male that is literally wired to respond to the female shape, a slight variation can cause quite an awkward feeling. It's not quite unlike the Uncanny Valley, really.
You don't have to like us for it, but don't hate us over it, either. Female characters don't have to be skinny, blonde with 34D sized breasts. Alex Vance from the Half Life series is often tossed around as an example. Or how about Zoe from Left4Dead?
Veronica wasn't ugly, just had some features that seemed to make many male players...uneasy. You couldn't be attracted to her, but she wasn't necessarily ugly.
But, in the end, we are Human, and humans love physical representations of sex. To deny the byproduct of our ideals leaking into our art forms, video games included, would be to deny what art is and, so it seems, what it is to be Human.
