Sexism is a little too much of generalized term "one size fits all" in my opinion. It lumps everything from gender roles to rape into a confusing mess.  Gender roles or sexual stereotypes is open to debate whether it's bad at all if people can swap roles at a whim. I'm completely fine with anyone wanting to go the more traditional route or go for a more modern lifestyle. People should be able to do that without judgement from others in spite of political agendas.

Sexual harashment and rape is a different story. Those are a world wide problem and should be addressed in that setting. I disagree with any people trying to turn video games into some kind of battleground to fight sexual harashment and rape. It's not appropriate or the place for it. 

I don't quite understand the thinking behind the bolded section. If you see sexism or racism or discrimination in any field, video games included, shouldn't you make an attempt to stamp it out? Why should the video game industry be free of self-examination?
