I do not get your point on monsterboy thing. Why would they be less accepted with people that like man compared to your everyday humans? Especially among CoC2 fans.
Hell, personally, I think him being a bunny boy helps far more than it detracts at least with people that I interact with. For what is worth, humans-with-long-ears monster boy race is pretty popular from what I have seen (games like FInal Fantasy 14 have them and, mffff, they hit the spot.) And that is not even taking into consideration his overall looks ignoring his animalistic characteristics: somewhat androgynous face, blemish free skin, lean yet muscular build, nice pair of hips and fine dick.
Speaking of impressions, I think most people got turned off by his personality, personally. Which does try to go for this lovable, horny bastard shtick but stumbles on the way there on couple of occasions. Well, once again, with people that I interact with.
