I've seen this reaction as well...and it surprised me.
I wish I could say that it surprised me, alas.
Some don't like their bodies, others just don't like female characters nor find female characters interesting.
Nail, head.
There are plenty of men who are squicked out by the very idea of m/m sex, as we know, and yet I never get the sense that it comes from a specific hatred of the male body in and of itself - that is, their own bodies - or a dislike of their own gender.
Seriously it could be a stuffed animal and people would get upset.
Ah, so that explains why there aren't more Mr Gordo shippers *rimshot*
