Conventionally-attractive fictional characters are made conventionally attractive in order to appeal to "normies irl," who make up the majority of the commodity-purchasing world by definition. To think that it's weird that someone is attracted to the character who was designed to be conventionally attractive in order to sell product is to reject the premise of most modern advertising, which is aimed at "normies."
Like, good for them to be immune to sexualized pop culture icons and all, but it's so wide-spread that reacting to the idea that someone was sexually attracted to the thing that was designed to be sexually attractive with disgust and loathing is not a normal reaction irl.
Now, if OP made this joke to a hyper-religious bible thumper who thinks that boobs and video games are the devil's work, then that reaction makes sense. But that's also an awesome example of an inappropriate person to have those conversations with.
