Going back to computer games, we have this one running on kickstarter. 2D scroller of castlevania fame. No publisher funding for years. Kickstarter? Funded in less than a day. With your graphic standards, it's not a game for you, so in that perspective the publishers are correct.
Remember Me had publisher issues for having a female protagonist, even if the game later got lukeworm reception for being mediocre (and not for having a female protagonist).
I hate it when publishers do that. Lara Croft has been a series out for ages, and it has been a very popular one at that. Rejecting titles due to female lead is an utterly retarded excuse.
