In the USS Callister episode of Black Mirror, why did the main character do this?

Question

In Season 4, Episode 1 of Black Mirror, "USS Callister" we see the main character taking people's DNA to make AI copies of them in his virtual reality game.

It is later revealed that he made these copies without including their genitals.

Why would he have done this?

It doesn't make sense, especially considering that it was obvious he made a copy of the protagonist Nanette because he was attracted to her.

Answer

There's a conversation which reflects the fact that he wants to keep the Space Fleet universe PG (or "wholesome") to maintain the illusion of the original series.

This could have gone even more dark, as there’s a funny sequence where it’s revealed no one kisses with tongue and no one even has genitals in the sim because Plemons wants to keep it PG like the original production.

"There's no tongues."

"If that's any consolation, there's never any tongues. - Doing tongues is not Space Fleet way."

...

There's no genitals in Space Fleet. This is a wholesome universe.
