Yeah I won't deny there's some latent (or not) sexism in video games and society in general. Men are judged more for their actions, while women more for their looks so a butch female as a protagonist wouldn't happen. they're in video games but are usually relegated to supporting roles for comic relief, while beautiful women like Lara Croft are sexualized and made to feel helpless so that the player can help her (like the white knight that he is)
I think there's a biological basis to all this, and the sexism is by no means a societal creation. Biology never has been fair anyways
