Yeah it came off as sexist because it was sexist. The reason those changes happen is bc more people other than straight males play video games now. Video games have become mainstream. And it's gross to know it's largely there bc some guy wanted to see virtual breasts.

If I was a gay woman I would still prefer a voluptuous well-figured character.

If I was a gay man, I would like to think I would prefer a beef-cake character, huge muscles and a huge bulge.

I'm not sure what being a straight man has anything to do with anything.

I'm not really into fugly (it's gross), but I'm not going to judge you.

Eh, you can have preferences but its kinda presumptuous to say what you think you'd like as a gay man or woman. Can only speak for yourself as you are. 

As for the examples, in my experience most of them are really not that controversial. Especially so if the game was aiming for realism in its art direction from the beginning and does a decent job of creating new models that look like the average person. I also take the tone of the game into account as well usually. If the game is intentionally campy or satirical, I don't necessarily mind seeing the characters be a bit exaggerated or unrealistic.  

I may not like every change that is made when a dev remakes a game either, but I do have an issue with this sense of entitlement about how if a character doesn't look the way someone thinks they should, its due to some ulterior motive and not just a change the developer wanted to make on their own.
