It's not that elezen are ugly, they're far from it. Their proportions are just.. off and extremely hard to glamour around. If they had the proportions of Viera, then a lot more people would play them since Viera more or less fits the frame for female Elezen and glamour actually looks good on Viera in many different armor sets/styles. For Elezen it's harder to make them look good in different glamour sets aside from elegant or classy glamours, or try to make them look like Bayonetta most of the time, plus they run weird. That's a big turn off for a lot of players, myself included. If elezen didn't run so strangely, I definitely would be playing one right now since I usually always play taller races or elves in MMOs.

Their emotes aren't as expressive either, similar to Viera and apparently a lot of people want to go for a cutesy appearance like Miqo'te or Au Ra, which those races can easily fit so many different glamour styles without looking strange and their run/sprint animations are really good. Female Elezen are also unfortunately limited to really 2 faces, the mature face with and without make up, and the youthful face with and without make up. The other races at least has some variety with their face options, especially for their female characters. Elezen... not so much :c
