They're unrelated, but I can understand why some higher-level members of the community would want to separate them. DoA's image turns people off of the game. That's well known. So if you want to promote high-level play, it might be in everyone's best interest to limit what costumes are going to be available. You want the game to be presented in the best light possible.
The comparison's already been made here before, but it's still true. It's no different from a pro fighter deciding to cover offensive tattoos before entering a UFC ring. You want people to focus on the fighting, not the fighters.
This "soft-ban" will absolutely not accomplish this. Not a single chance in hell of doing anything of the sort.
Sexuality in DoA is far FAR more than the costumes. Putting bans on the game to make it look more "serious" to people who fundamentally do not like its style is worthless.
