Not really, Depends on the genre and the market. Adventure games, visual novels and those hide n seek have a lot of female protagonist.

Another thing I have with anita, she keep saying like tropes are a bad thing
Mobile games are 90% targeted at women, mainstream console games are pretty much targeted at men, I'm not saying they don't know how big the market is for each demographic, but let's remember those are companies that waste millions and millions of dollars in marketing research, and will start making games for dogs if that's what would make them money.

Then again I grew up in a multi-cultural society where women are boss and we could all take the piss out of eachother without fear of being labelled sexist, racist, homophobic or just a general bigot.
There are people who act as if a sexy character with a rocking-hot body is a bad thing. THAT'S what's embarassing.
Bitches won't be happy until every single one of us has been castrated and turned into a pussified beta wimp. Well, I for one, will not let that happen without a fight. Bring it on, you harpies.
Women characters are often nothing more than objects in a game, often for sexual gratification.
It's also not uncommon for nearly every female character in certain games to be highly sexualised (this isn't the case for male characters), and this is a form of dehumanization.
Are you trolling or serious?
