How do you quantify "non-attractive," exactly? I don't particularly like the look of the Dead or Alive characters. They're unattractive to me. Does that make them "non-attractive"? I find the aforementioned Heather rather cute. Is she attractive now? I mean geez, even the ones that are meant to be unattractive are attractive to a great many people! This applies to the men too.
I think we press for realistic depictions of women in games; women that don't look hand-crafted to be perfect sex objects, or so disheveled that it comes off as forced (like rubbing dirt over a Barbie doll). "Unattractive" men in games have a place, while women always seem token. I think Gears of War 3 made great steps in creating a realistic depiction of women on the battlefield, and even to some extend the Metroid series, despite Samus being doll-like and traditionally "hot," is fairly realistic in her depiction - she always wears her suit, with her helmet on, and does her job. It's not optimal that when she takes her suit off she's impossibly skinny and busty, but it is a fairly realistic depiction of her when she's actually doing her job. ...well. If we discount that Other M mess.

Uhh, that's a little transphobic, what you just said there. You know that. Right?TrevHead said:The Japanese have some pretty out there sexual perversions, not many of us would say this is attractive (atleast in public lol).
