They dislike sexualized characters, because they're told they're supposed to.

They like playing as sexualized characters, because gaming is, and always has has been, escapism. The fantasy doesn't have to be realistic to be enjoyable. I'll never be a six-foot-one He-Man built like a brick shithouse, and I've made peace with that, but it doesn't mean I don't enjoy the fantasy.

Social pressure versus human nature.

No, they like playing as sexualized characters because that's what they want to look like.
