Difference between Artoria and all the other genderbent heroes is important though : Arthur is fictionial, supposedly based on a Roman soldier or a Welsh lord, so you can do whatever and say "scholars were misogynistic fools, the actual figure it was modeled after was a countrygirl who pulled a sword from a rock at some point".

While it's believable for less exposed and very old figures like Raikou or Ushiwakamaru to be "females who dressed up as males" (as it happened IRL for some famous figures) or faceless characters to be female (like Jack the Ripper), people like Nero or Nobunaga, or Okita (of whom we have actual photography), are just genderbent for fanservice or as a joke.

No explanation are given, just go with "whatever, it's funny"
