Nah, I think it is just a matter of preference. For example, I'm bisexual and I like my women to look feminine and my men to look masculine; I mean, there have been exceptions in both cases, but that is how I mostly prefer things.

This isn't a good point. Sure I'm gay and I like my men to look masculine. But having a type doesn't mean that I think all characters should be made to look that way. If I need fictional characters in a videogame to look attractive to my tastes specifically, yeah, that's super insecure.

I really don't know much about LegitHyperbole, but I'm willing to bet that he was complaining mostly about women looking like men here; which, let's be honest, is a trend that western developers have gone way overboard with.
