I always found this conversation intentionally over complicated. Characters should fit the game. If somebody is going into battle a string bikini is childish nonsense. It just doesn't fit the game. Joan of Arc didn't fight half naked, I'm guessing she wore armor.

I'm guessing she didn't battle imaginary creatures in imaginary worlds either.

People won't care if your character uses magic that breaks the laws of physics in a thousand different ways. It's when contrivances started to feel forced onto the story by the writer (say, because he's a horny mofo, or wants to appeal to one) that's where the problem resides.

Of course, though, different people will have different thresholds for what they're willing to accept in a fictional work...
