See the recent Naomi Wu controversy.

I don’t know if this is a joke, but that is a thing that happens.
Given how long I was blind to my own (relatively straightforward) bisexuality, I think the real answer is that people in charge literally cannot conceive of sexuality that far away from their worldview.

For a less silly and inflammatory example, how about feet? Because there certainly are foot fetishists out there.

That's a pretty classic example really. I know Flickr had some awkward interactions with a foot fetishist community that took up residence there, because they didn't reeeally post anything that violated the terms of service, they were just kind of creepy about it.

There are people sexually aroused by eyes as well.

I'm left wondering how they would actually scale any sort of enforcement like that. Look at reports people submit?
On the other hand, they're a company so they're perfectly allowed to decide where they draw the line and enforce that.
I just hope we don't accidentally cause a regression with women in gaming by accidentally enforcing a dress code that mostly impacts women.
