It's one of the only 2 issues that those who vehement oppose to male viera have, the other being "lore". It stinks to hear, but to deny it is naive and assumes the posters have more integrity than they actually do.

It's not identity politics for the sake of it, it's literally calling into light a reasoning behind the distaste. There are people that hate the idea of how male Viera look and we don't even know what they look like.
Come on now, lets not try and pretend there isn't a more subconscious gut-reaction driving these actions.
Sigh. Alright, here we go.

Some guys don't like tomboys; doesn't make them any less straighter than they are.
Some girls don't like buff men; doesn't mean they automatically like femboys or girls.
Some guys like big buff men; doesn't mean they hate pretty boys.
Some girls like pretty boys; doesn't mean they wanna date girls or hate muscular men.

There's a thing called preference and just because people have a preference for something doesn't make that person suddenly a bad person. It is absolutely okay to not want to see femboys running around in a video games; this isn't Second Life, this isn't Sims. Just because they do not want to see that doesn't mean they hate all gays or have an agenda or are bigots or whatever.

Some people just don't want to see it. And that is o k a y. It doesn't make them bad people. Some people really don't care to see big Roe men running around naked. That's okay. Some people don't want to see half naked cats and dragons frolicking around. That is absolutely a-okay.

So yes, stop. Don't.
Don't make this more than it has to be because it only makes some look ugly that they are saying others cannot have preferences without being the big bad wolf.
