I don't really care either way, to be honest. The way people analyze and rationalize games into sexist/not-sexist sometimes annoys me. Why does a damsel in distress have to MEAN something? Can't she just be someone who needs saving? Can't it just be a plot device for the goddamn story?
Beyond that, I think western people trying to pigeonhole Japanese games to meet western ideals are fooling themselves a bit. It's a different culture and I see people misunderstanding certain elements a lot. Bayonetta definitely represents a male Japanese fetish. If people want to call that feminist, fine, but it feels a bit silly. It's like trying to argue that football is a finesse game, not a power game, when anyone with eyes can see that it's both.
Sometimes the need to group and sort and then argue about what you've grouped and sorted creates a false dichotomy.
