Kirino's character is a stretch not because she likes eroge aimed at males. Her character is unrealistic because she's literally good at everything she does. She's excels at both sports and academics. Not only is she a professional model who pays for her own hobbies, but her hobby is stereotypically the antithesis of her image honor student, sports star and professional model. She pretty much has all areas covered.

Kirino's unlimited talents are a characteristic of a romance. Characters are portrayed as great in one way or another without some realistic limit or description of their abilities. That's what a romance is all about: the stuff of dreams, and how ideal or great something can be imagined.
