Which would be a good argument except for Reaper, Bastion, Junkrat, Torbjorn, Reinhardt, Roadhog, and Winston.
So, where's the ugly/inhuman lady again?
No it isn't a good argument for those characters and I'll tell you why. Ugly doesn't apply if that ugly is covered up or in the form of a monster which would be Winston in this case.
Of the six characters you list, only one of them real can classify as an "ugly" character. And it kind of depends on what you consider ugly.
In game, there is nothing to suggest Reaper is an ugly character, he is completely covered up by a badass costume and there fore falls under the "badass" exception.
Junkrat is not ugly. He has creepy manerisms, but he isn't ugly. He's skinny, he's perfectly lean and chiseled with a nice 8-pack of abs. He is attractive in much the same ways as people like the Joker, although a little more physical.
Torbjorn is technically not even a dwarf. He stand about 5' tall according the pictures where he stands side by side with other people. In fact he is barely shorter than Mercy. But he is the best example of a non-attractive man in the game. Big ass nose, short, fat gut, way too much facial hair. He is the very opposite of what mainstream media says is attractive in a man.
Roadhog doesn't quite qualify in the same way. Because he is very tall, has big strong arms, and there is no proof that his face is a train wreck. But he does have a big fat belly, so do sumo wrestlers. Sumo dudes bring in all kinda of ass though, so...attractive?
Reinhart is an older man, but he is big and clearly strong as fuck. Nothing unattractive about him. Unless you count his armor, in which case you have Pharrah, so there already is a girl version of him.
Bastion is a fucking robot! It has no sex, it could be male or female, who the fuck knows? Bastion is a OP asshole though, so there is that.
As for your ugly/inhuman lady. Widowmaker. I mean, blue skin might do it for you I guess. What about the chubby buddy Bae Mei? Cute face so she doesn't count? How about Zarya's crazy big muscles. I mean she's the girl version of the Terminator. So there you go, that's three of the females who are not perfectly pretty and shit. But because they aren't "ugly" enough, what I say wont actually matter. Just remember there is a shit ton of Roadhog rule 34, so clearly someone likes the muffin man.
But look I'm not getting into this debate again. There are other threads that have pages of "why no Fugly bitches" all over the place. Bottom line is this, the girls are hot because mass appeal. More people want hot chicks and hot dudes than ugly ones. Badass exceptions apply. But you are more likely to get a chick in a badass costume or armor set, then you are to get a female analog of Francis.
What people don't understand is this is business, it isn't a personal attack against anyone. These companies are no longer in it for the love of the game, they're in it to make a bunch of fucking money and clearly that shit is working. So people can scream and cry until the cows come home but business will always win. Investors don't care if the minority of fans were happy with a game, they care about their stock investment getting bigger.
