Developers do what? One is a real life photo of a model taken where she has makeup and is a specific pose vs a character in a video game in a specific pose and angle the game allows to make a point, presumably not made by the devs. Meanwhile, Aloy:

If I'm being honest I don't really know what point the comparison images in Deskpro's post are making anyway, they don't look that much different to me, Lol. You can see clearly the same facial structure, the only differences I can spot are Aloy's cheeks are more flush red which makes sense in the context of the game (being outside a lot), Aloy has a different hairstyle and Aloy's hairstyle is giving us a wider view of her face, alongside her open mouth expression which elongates her face vertically just a tad whilst the model has a closed mouth and isn't really doing any pronounced expression and likely has makeup on and/or digitally altered slightly.
There are always comparisons between videogame characters taken in intentionally awkward poses or pulling silly faces compared to the models photo which are often taken in a professional setting and digitally edited on top of the makeup they're already wearing. We always talk about how Instagram is setting a dangerous example for young children about beauty standards because people will only post the most perfect looking photos so you'd think people would understand the world of lighting, digitally edited, makeup, etc. But people still do the "Here's a single awkward shot from a videogame character compared to a professionally taken and digitally edited photo of the real person" Lol. I wonder how many photos it took for that model to get that shot? Likewise I wonder how many photos these people took to intentionally get these characters in a "negative" view.
Aloy has been subject to these attacks in the past but I've always thought she looked fine, absolutely nowhere near to "ugly"
