Again if you want to be disingenuous then fine by me but don't be surprised that male banners flop routinely.

The only male of recent memory that I can think of that wasn't obviously baited was Boothill. I don't even know what angle you're trying to play at here at this point because the reality is people don't pull for characters they don't like and that includes characterization. If Hoyo wants to characterize a male as gay with homobait then don't expect the audience that doesn't like that type of pandering to pull.
