Honestly I think this is a bad example. Guys are generally happy to play games with attractive bad-ass female leads. See Metroid/Tomb Raider/Bayonetta/Nier/etc
Kicker is that they have to be attractive, which is the real reason most have no hate towards them. Aloy wasn't traditionally attractive in the Horizon sequel and people lost their shit.
They act like how attractive a character is directly correlates to whether gameplay is good or a story is bad. Why can't they just appreciate the game for what it is and the character for who they are?
