But you said that your tastes in women represent the majority of men? So, how can you find unattractive something that most men find attractive?

My tastes in real women, yes. Asian games with their anime-style graphics are hardly representation of that. There are many REAL asian women I find attractive. Your argument is equal to saying "well, most women find muscular men attractive, surely they're attracted to a 10m tall bag of muscular meat character from Tekken as well". Again, irrelevant.

I thought we were discussing of what Cora would look like? Aka a video-game character? An animated toon?

All I really hope to see is that you go easy on the majority argument and stop trying to pre-emptively insult everyone who you think might disagree with what you personally want, the boys, the fangirls, the feminists, etc. If you just spoke for yourself, and did not try to belittle others, I'd totally emphasize with your deepest heart desire for Cora to have pony tail, red-gold hair, sizable bosom and big luminous eyes, or whatever else is that you wish she looks like. Post pictures, whatever. But talk for yourself, please, and try to be kinder to others.

Video-game character, yes. But in a game where characters (at least human ones) are modelled after real ones. As in, the artstyle of human characters aims to represent people as they look in real life. Asian games don't do that.

And I didn't insult anyone, not sure where your claim comes from. I just don't understand why people who won't be romancing female characters anyway are the ones that defend their unattractive looks the most. It should be of no concern to them.

And once again, I've provided many arguments that support my majority argument. It is others that argue with me that are unable to provide countering one, hence I see no reason not to keep my stance.

Uhm, I suggest considering not summarily calling other men "unhealthy" or ascribing negative qualities to "fangirls" and "feminists", as that what comes across as ugly, and if possible no outright crudity, like cussing. Less drama, less soap box, less "I am right because I am right", less stubborn statements that whatever anyone else is saying is wrong and irrelevant because it is not what you are saying. Just stick to what you love, not what you hate, and you will be surprised how much more cordial and fun chatting will become, and how it will lead to agreement, rather than tension.

You also were the one that have provided statements showing yourself as a someone who disagrees with other males on the matters of attractiveness of the female characters in the videogames, with both Tali and anime.

Being a female gamer does not mean that one won't play a male PC, and romances written for a male PC. Finally, we all will play with the same squad, that has a limited number of characters, so we all are curious what species they are and how they look like. Hence the interest in the female squad mates is perfectly natural from anyone who plans to play Andromeda.

I honestly doubt anyone really wants Cora to look like a-girl-next-door aka Sara (whose face is customizable). Tbh, Sara does have your main prerequisite of feminine beauty, the pony tail. And, yes, I know it's not her hair, it's her face that in this case is under scrutiny.

Again, I am sure Cora will be at least very pretty if not an outright pageant beauty or a slightly more down to earth take on Asian anime.
