MODERATORS
To be fair that's basically the case for straight characters too. Hollywood is fine with normal-looking men but all women have to be supermodels to even get a role (with a few exceptions, of course)
A lot of cartoonists have pointed out that most alien races are drawn with the males looking completely alien, and the females looking like hot human women with some makeup.

Thanks. They have another one along the same lines.
I remember seeing a Tarzan satire where the hero finds a lost city in the middle of the jungle.
All the men look like apes and all the women are beautiful.
The heroes ask each other how this could be.
There's a note at the bottom of the panel, 'It's because it's easier to draw monkeys than people, but more fun to draw beautiful women

As has been mentioned previously, the same network censors who would have lost their minds if Kirk kissed Uhura [much less Sulu] were fine with a white guy necking with a green hottie.
“If” isn’t the right word, since Kirk famously did kiss Uhura. But yes, the censors were against it. The scene was filmed both with and without the kiss, so the actors “accidentally” ruined every take that didn’t include it.
I checked with an English major and they told me that "if" is perfectly cromulent.
Yep.

All the Star Trek entries are hilarious:
