It reminds me of Vaan from FFXII. However, I'd say most Midlander faces are twinky/boyish rather than feminine per se, with the exception of the one you mentioned.
I think a large part of the issue is the ridiculous standards of masculinity that a lot of MMO players have. A male being unkempt, dirty and with a beard that resembles the hair located on their rear end is not 'more masculine' than a male who is genuinely attractive and takes the time to keep themselves well groomed.
Of course, some of the male facial options are pretty feminine looking but they tend to be in the minority and are rarely used by most players and hardly ever present on NPC's. On the other hand, you have stupid terms such as 'bishonen' thrown around by deluded individuals who try to paint any male that is seen as even remotely attractive as feminine. What's worse is that they target entire playable races with their flawed logic.
