I don't know enough about Chinese pop culture to know if I'm supposed to interpret "girly guns" as metrosexual or as queer.
I could maybe see moving away from metrosexual stuff. That all seems more oriented towards people who spend an inordinate amount of time/money on self presentation as being of a higher class.
If its what it sounds like, and the target is actually queer folk, that's disappointing.
I think you can interpret it as both. Any pushback against metrosexual behaviour is defacto a pushback against queer behaviour because "guy acts outside of traditional gender role expectations" is a feature of both. Whether that is the intent or not that is the consequence.
This kind of thing will be brought up over and over again in any of our attempts to defend China to lgbt and lgbt-supporting people, which is much more than half the population in the west. It absolutely cripples our ability to defend them.

The part that gets me is the “other abnormal aesthetics” bit
