Can't speak for others but I can certainly say that it is possible for me to feel strong hatred and vitriol towards female characters and antagonists who are attempted to be portrayed in a sympathetic manner. (Read: Futaki Kanata) So I doubt my position on the Aerial Knights and Windermerean powers would change much if they were gender-swapped. Besides, even I can appreciate how fabulous the knights are.
