I’m at a point where I immediately lose all interest in a game if the protagonist is female and not fan service. If the female character model needs to be “realistic” aka ugly, old, ratchet, etc., then I’m not going to suspend my disbelief to accommodate a woman unrealistically dominating combat versus countless healthy adult male enemies. It’s insulting to the all of the men who have actually fought and died in battle throughout human history. I’ll tolerate the girl boss fantasy if the aesthetic and personality of the character appeal to me as a heterosexual man. Otherwise, I’m not interested, and I don’t care whether or not woke scolds approve my preferences.

I'd argue that's not "girl boss." That has a pretty specific meaning and, even in the rare occasions where girl bosses are actually attractive females, it's still a turn off. That said, yes, I can appreciate a competent, badass woman. Just not a "girl boss."
Otherwise, I’m not interested, and I don’t care whether or not woke scolds approve my preferences.
Agreed. Never care about what the woke scolds thing, unless you're ridiculing them or otherwise arming yourself against them.
