Ha, yeah the girls might ditch MC if that dude arrived on campus,. But according to
Ilhares below, we have little to worry about.
If your first thought is homosexual when you see him then you may have deeper questions to ask.
I get you're going for humor here, but I was being serious. Obviously it applies better to real humans than CG created ones.

They used 35,326 photographs from dating websites and what Kosinski describes as “off-the-shelf” facial-recognition software.
Presented with two pictures – one of a gay person, the other straight – the algorithm was trained to distinguish the two in 81% of cases involving images of men and 74% of photographs of women. Human judges, by contrast, were able to identify the straight and gay people in 61% and 54% of cases, respectively. When the algorithm was shown five facial images per person in the pair, its accuracy increased to 91% for men, 83% for women.
While I, a mere human, don't have the accuracy rating of a computer, in real life situations I am also presented with a lot more than merely 5 images of somebody. Errors are always possible, but my gaydar has (so far) never given a false positive. Have had a few fly past under the radar, which once did lead to me really putting my foot in my mouth, but he's a great guy and we've been pals for the last 12 years or so.
The Kinsey institute has also referenced a number of studies (on 'gaydar', that is) and comes up with a similar accuracy report to what the article above states; e.g. not flawless, but far better than the law of averages would suggest.
I was a very sociable person in my youth to mid-20s, and growing up around Minneapolis(a rather gay-friendly city) got to meet a wide swath of the public. I'm always surprised when I run into people who have more of the mindset of Maya's father, because I just can't fathom pushing that level of hatred on anything except the chihuahua vermin dog breed. Some biases still seem to be strongly ingrained, though, and not just by the old whiteys with money.
Then again, "back in my day", as us old people sometimes say, a teacher looking like Bella having herself a nice younger piece wouldn't have elicited too much outcry, either.
Boys will be boys. If the sexes were reversed, somebody would have probably disappeared, or made payoffs to quiet things down. Girls still used to 'change schools' for no apparent reason one year, and return the next.
We were young, but we weren't
oblivious.
