The idea of boys is not really a problem. Mesoamerican myth has the "400 Boys" who, like the Titans, were a mob of hellraisers who, according to the variant were turned into the stars for either trying to usurp the sun or fighting against the usurpers of the sun. There were actually 2 sets in Nahua myth, but they just doubled one another.
So, in and of itself, "Boys" is not the problem here
