That type of 'project onto this slate to commence wish fulfillment' type of story goes without saying, but what I said about male characters being less fulfilling visually is still true even of series that have a low, no or specifically anti-female presence. There's just a lot more that you can do with a female character aesthetically.
This also goes a long way to explaining why I don't bother with cosplay much despite how many cons I go to and the fact that a friend of mine is a professional cosplay photographer. There's so few visually appealing male characters in anime that I can practically never find one I want to have a crack at portraying. I'm the type who goes at my hobbies full force and would only be satisfied with something I made rather than bought, so visual interest in a must.
