It's another subversion of gender roles, I think,if you look closely at Haru and KYH's characters. If the author had decided to make the MC Female instead, but give her the exact same personality and backstory and dialogue (well, adjusted for gender differences) Haru, Accel World and reverse gender Haru might be seen differently- more sympathetically, probably.
For example, Haru losing his wings in this episode, had Haru been female would have been likened to RAPE.
Alas, double standards.
