No, I am just talking about Tobses comment about how "to make an male smartass/asshole/villain more likeable to the audience you just make them a girl".
Well, that can work (especially since most of the player like girls more/only) but at same time, I do not think that is all there is to it.
Most of the genderbend also deals with concept/fetishes as domestication/slavery/player devotion. That is also expected. If, lets say, femKeros was more like her male counterpart, she would have not been as well received as she is now. Sure, she would still be more favoured just by the fact that she is a girl now, but much less so.
