Attractive characters improve games. True or false?

Would gamer's play a game with an acne infested character? Or maybe a 20 stone obese character? I thought not, thanks for playing.

I like how GTA SA and GTA6 will do it, you start off in GTA6 pretty idealised but solid rumor has it that like GTA SA you will get fat, anorexic and loose out on stats over the course of the game if you don't stay healthy. This solves all camps arguments apart from the one where making sexy characters takes recourses away from the game. 

Do you disagree with that possibility? I seem to recall you mentioning that you worry when games have ugly characters that the games are focussing more on "woke" things than making a good game. Seems obvious to me that you could also focus too much on making your characters hot (like the development of boob physics in DOA) to the detriment of other parts of the game being ignored.
