Must be why this company has been making shirtless pretty boys the norm for all that time. 'Sure, it appeals to others, but I have a bone to pick with straight men' as if a form of entertainment trying to entertain its main audience while also showing a long history of providing entertainment for smaller parts of the audience too is a bad thing.

'Like its been done for decades'- Tidus, shirtless handsome man with a nice face. Vaan, shirtless handsome man with a nice face. Kuja clearly isn't aimed at straight males. Locke, Zidane, Auron- highly charismatic and charming. FFXV's entire cast- overly handsome men that accompany you the entire game and get into a lot of scenarios and situations that are clearly not aimed at 'straight males'. Their willingness to make their main FF title game a bishounen, something that's aimed solely at appealing to people that are into men, kinda shows they're perfectly fine with giving things to everyone.

Also- let's talk customization. As a straight female, my biggest issue with the customizer isn't male customization, it's a lack of more sliders for my own character (butt, thighs, waist, arms, etc..), who's an extension of myself in game. If certain things are lacking specifically with male customization, sure that does limit my eye candy but it's going to effect me less than a limit to my character's customization. I think if anyone's going to be most annoyed at not having certain male customization it's going to be players who play male characters, which is predominantly straight males. Limiting the options of straight males using the game as an extension of themselves is catering to straight males... how?

It really feels like 'straight males' is being used as an argument in itself, that people think if they can bring that up it's an auto win and thus the offending party has to change their ways.
