I don't think "she is an hermaphrodite" is even completely comparable to "she breathes through to her skin". The average gamer is not going to care that she breathes through her skin, but sure as hell he will have a problem with the fact the girl on the screen has penis. There is an huge social stigma about that.
You can also see this when people write about "women can't enjoy FFXV because it has no playable female characters".
Yes, I know Futa is also considered a fetish, I'm not stupid, but I'm talking about the general audience reaction to it since people want to compare her to Quiet.
THIS is another thing that critics/analysts should take note when writing about gender roles in media--the local context..
