1: Probably a troon.

2: "Sanitized, clean, beauty (untouchable even by dirt/mud) isn't necessarily a misogynistic ideal to uphold, but it tends to be one." doesn't make any sense, given that most of the fuglies in today's games don't even show environmental damage or reactions to hazards. Recall how in Batman Arkham City both Batman and Catwoman endured dirt/grime/scratches/cuts and physical damage to their respective suits. People love those characters and that game because it grounded its characters in a believable enough narrative set within the Arkhamverse.

Same thing with 2B from Nier Automata; throughout the game she endures a lot of physical damage that shows up on her character as battle damage. Ironically, I don't think Aloy from Horizon actually ever gets dirty or scratched up or has her clothes damaged in any way? Same thing with that Forspoken monstrosity or anyone from Back 4 Blood or Redfall. So hilariously, the more fantastical characters are actually the ones depicted with more realistic implications and results from engaging and interacting with their environments, which completely destroys whatever argument the troonanon was trying to make about "realism" or grounded depictions of female characters with idealised beauty standards.

But that's all besides the point: the point is that designers are making ugly characters on purpose and putting them in worlds that aren't even fun to engage with. Those worlds have no grounded worldbuilding, the characters don't act like they're actually in that world (most of the time), and there are almost no consequences depicted for interacting in said world. It's essentially a theme park ride with an ugly protagonist in a boring world.
