Good lord am I tired of hearing this.. If a woman is given the same job in the industry as a man but receives less pay or is treated with less respect simply because of her gender, then yes, that is a problem.
Having a female character act a certain way or look a certain way in a video game however, is not a problem. If a creator wants to make a character a certain way, let them.
Censorship is only beneficial to a certain point. If artists are not allowed their creativity, regardless of how tasteful or distasteful it may be seen as, eventually all works of creativity will be the most boring, soulless nonsense imaginable.
If the argument is "people only buy games because they have girls with huge racks, ditsy personalities and zero clothing in them", that is perhaps the silliest thing I can imagine. If someone out there has only bought a video game because there was a pretty fictional lady in it, or refused to buy one because the protagonist is female rather than male, I have never met one of those people, and I highly doubt they even exist.
