WoW Diversity - Where's the Incubus?

Here's some food for thought from this Utopian Hell article Hot Girl on Girl Action (or how women get screwed in video games):

Video games, by and large, assume that whether you’re playing a female character or not, you’re going to want to have sex with a female character, or at least be sexually attracted to a female character (or monster).

Referring to Everquest and WoW:

I wouldn’t be so disturbed if the reverse were true… if there were Grim Tempters and Incubus to balance out the Temptress and Succubus. But there aren’t, and these aren’t the only two games to blatantly disregard the notion that female characters (and players) might want a different experience.
