Well, other VUX, obviously. Otherwise the species would probably have a difficult time propagating.
However, I get the impression that their "distaste" of the human form is at least partially due to wounded pride rather than actual disgust. The VUX are a prideful race and their pride was wounded by Captain Rand's comment, so now they take every opportunity to lash out at humans in kind. I'm sure part of it is genuine disgust (if the range of motion in our necks really makes us look like jabbing corpses to them) but I think most of it is just posturing.

If there's any fanart on what a Redux World looks like on the surface, that might be a good start (after all, we humans like beautiful landscapes and the like).

If humans are so ugly, how could the VUX stand the Androsynth then? Androsynth look just like humans -- or almost just like humans at least. Since the Ur-Quan obliged the Hierarchy members to cooperate and assist each other, why didn't the VUX rather choose to get slave-shielded then?

The can't stand the Androsynth either. The two races just stayed out of each others' way, because they knew they had no choice but to cooperate with each other, and the VUX didn't have any grudges there despite the similarities in appearance.

They also raided the Syreen's migration column continuously, even though most of their fleet consisted of apartment complexes with thrusters stapled to them. Which, come to think of it, is pretty much a Syreen Penetrator, hmm. At any rate, the VUX dislike humanoids, probably for the reasons said -- two eyes, our teeth, smooth haired skin, and flappy neck and mouthparts. That general description would of course include the Androsynth and Syreen, and to a lesser degree Arilou.
I didn't get the impression the VUX were from Bizarro universe. They're simply snobs who are bigoted against humanoids. This doesn't mean they necessarily like bathing in sulfuric acid and eating broken glass, just that we're pretty gross to them.
