I don't think it's serious. Cartman says it doesn't affect combat and the real difficulty menu seems to pop up later and is not tied to your appearance (see 3:33):

The difficulty slider which also changes your skin still affects difficulty in other areas:
Our Aoife Wilson and Chris Bratt, who captured the gameplay in the video, asked Ubisoft developers about this feature during a recent hands-on event. They were told the difficulty of the game affects the amount of money you receive and the way other characters speak to you throughout the course of the game.
