The problem does not lie in the sexism that is present in video games. The problem is how people perceive gender roles as an inherently bad thing.
Is it discriminatory towards the elder to make old cartoon characters with massive ears and noses?
Is it discriminatory towards teenagers to make teen characters that are lazy/arrogant?
Is it discriminatory towards homosexuals to create gay characters that act feminine?
The answer is no. Stereotypes exist for a reason and tend to have some degree of truth to them. Truths which are exaggerated for comedic or artistic purposes.
You may think that a work of art is of bad taste and therefore should be prohibited, but I, for one, is for artistic freedom. After all, no one is forcing you to offend yourself by making you watch and/or experience things that you don't find appealing. And even in the unlikely event that a work of art suddenly causes a person to, say, treat female bodies as objects, the true problem would lie in how this person perceives this art; not in the art itself.
