This whole "sexism in gaming" and SJW trend is just a fad. Same sort of fad that the gluten, Kony2012, and ice bucket challenge were. Stupid uneducated people will always find things to bitch about because... who the hell really knows with them? XD It's exaggerated and gets attention because those reporting on the issue know can make revenue off those inferiors who buy into it.
Is there sexism in gaming? Absolutely. Is it is bad as many believe it is? LOLno.
A lot have pointed towards Samus from the original Metroid as a sexist symbol because shes in a bikini at the end of the game. You have to understand that due to the limitations of the hardware, it was harder to show a gender difference between male and female. You could say: "We would have known without her being in a bikini" -however, these are the words of an after-the-fact situation. Many male characters in NES era games had long hair and muscular bodies and so it could have been easily interpreted as just a long haired dude with a large chest back then. Some would say "bullshit" to this, but how many other female MCs existed in gaming then? To make the message more clear they separated the outfit into a bikini in order for the point to be clear. This also made the revelation more powerful and shocking to those unaware. People don't always look into the context of the situation in order to find an answer but instead look from modern view points. Then again, people love looking for problems where they aren't. If that's what they get hard off of, then thats their choice I suppose.
