Asterion is the minotaur, and the only one that ever existed (until Storm), so in a sense those enemies would be directly based on him thus he might take it a bit personally.
i don't think so. it sounds to me like doing mental gymnastics to make yourself offended. really i just can't tell how umconfortable he'd be with the graphics. castlevania is in that between spot that could go either way, the enemies just kinda burn out of the screen, but the aesthics are gothic
