I don't speak for them, I can only speak for myself, but from my understanding, those people aren't really concerned with the character or who is voicing her. They are concerned with the motive behind it. That there is a small leadership at the studio, sitting around, talking about agendas, ticking off lists in the hopes of currying the favor of a tiny-but-very-loud angry band of people that make up the majority of extremists on social media. Because let's face it. If that's true, if that's what's really going on, it can only mean two things: one, that they are inherently biased against certain races and sexes and two, that they are inherently liars and manipulators... and I think we can all agree that neither of those things are good for the planet earth.

Now, as to weather or not any of the above is true, well... only SuckPunch and a few others know. But yeah. I believe that's what bothers the people complaining about it, not what you're asserting.

Why every time the main character is either non white, LGBT or female this question arrives? Should we all speculate that if a main character is a straight white male is because the devs hate women, gay people and other races? 

As for why the main characters are members of minorities, for me the reason is pretty obvious. They want minorities to see themselves in videogames, which is a additional motivation for them to play said games. Since most of legacy games and famous IPs already feature male white leads, new IPs and new installments will often have more minorities as lead characters

The agenda here is "how convince more people to play my games" instead of "we hate white man"

Playing Devils advocate. Doesn't matter about race, Aloy got heavily critized too and the biggest draws for people who want beautiful character are Asians (Just after cat girls, I would reckon) like Eve in Stellar Blade. Also, men get the same treatment, noone wants a fat guy wearing a trash bag like in Covord, even straight men want attractive men as to them these characters look "cool". 

Race and Gender don't apply. Horniness and human nature apply. Sex sells, as many gaming studio suits are finding out and we'll see a wave of 90's like sexiness in games in the next few years.
