It does bring up another cliche. Like, why would Tora (and possibly Bana) even be attracted to the female human form in the first place? I mean anatomically, humans and Nopon are so different it would be the equivalent of a human lusting after a praying mantis. "Oh their lanky limbs and severe lack of fur turns me on!"
Like if Monolith Soft is going to abandon its dignity like Intelligent Systems did, they might as well fun with it along the way. Make Poppi a Nopon-esque blade and then stick maid fetish on her. Have Bana's secretaries be scantily clad Nopon walking a catwalk. "What dowould teenager rodents with prehensile wings find attractive"
I mean, why does this maid fetish even exist in XB2's world in the first place? I've moaned about this before, but this habit of sticking modern mores in a futuristic setting - or, worse, one completely detached from our world - without even the slightest hint of explanation, commentary or irony strikes me as, well, really kind of lazy and uncreative.
Contrast something like XB2 with Brave New World, or the Culture novels by Iain Banks*, which draw inspiration from familiar concepts, but frame them in the context of their futuristic societies - and then uses them as commentary on our own.
Anime et al can be particularly terrible for this, of course: doesn't matter where your story is set - or how different a culture might be because of that setting - you can guarantee the same familiar stereotypes will be present and correct, all playing out exactly as expected. Redheads are always temperamental! The girl with big tits is always shy and embarrassed! The girl without them is always angry when someone points them out! Etcetera etcetera etcetera.
*Apparently, Iain Banks recently made a 4chan list of SF authors to avoid because of his books' inclusive themes. People can switch gender in the future? BURN
ALL THE BOOKS!
