But what I'm sensing from Saito Hikari is the belief that male gamers here want female characters to be both beautiful and simpering, and that we can't handle women that have character.
I didnt get that impesion to be honest ... It seemed more like if he was complaining (or poiting out the fact, strike out what does not apply) about the fact that all (read as both) female companions have quite simmilar preferences.
I mean ... If you want Wyll, you have to be pure good ... If you want Gale, you have to be quite good ... If you want Astarion, you have to be kinda jerk ... If you want Lae'zel, you have to be kinda jerk ... If you want Shadowheart, you have to be kinda jerk ...
So ... it dont seem like lack of character was desired here, more like it was subject of the complaint. But maybe i get that wrong.

I have some theories ... But i try hard to keep real life politics out of my coments.
I still dont understand why cant we change Race for our hirelings. Lets us play Githyanki as racist as they trully are!
