Sexualization isn't always flattering and when you tie stats to certain gear, making that sexualized gear better needlessly encourages you to look a certain way in front of others.
I don't know why you felt offended. It seems like you could have just as easily been ok with being the goofy "gay" Highlander. Sounds like you actually were disturbed by being called a little fruity. Im a terribly large man and I dressed up as a school girl once for halloween. You should learn to get the comedy in it instead of taking it seriously.

If more people would just let that stuff be funny instead of taking insult to so much stuff, the world would have much less arguements and issues with people's feelings.
