Sorry, I will explain myself better. I don't think that there's a link between violence, sexism and racism in videogames/movie with violence in real world, I give you that. I don't agree with Anita Sarkeesian when she said that, but I agree that there are sexism in some videogames. Take for example MGSV, it's an amazing game, but Quiet is an stupid character. It's only naked because yes, she's always showing herself in the cam like... I don't know, it's silly and sexist. But that doesn't mean people who play videogames are sexist. I found it silly and ridiculous, but I can overpass it. And there are more examples of sexism in games, I think that's actually a fact. In this topic I think she's right. 


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex-positive_feminism

Someone using their body to gain an advantage is not sexism tho, it is a branch of feminism which gained a lot of popularity in the 80s which basically runs under the ideas that woman should use all the tools they have to further themselves.

I'm sorry if that doesn't exactly related to the mgs5 character I've not had the pleasure of playing that game yet but hopefully you see that a naked woman isn't sexism?

Yeah, I'm aware of that. Bayonetta is what I'd call sex-positive feminism. But the same can't apply to Quiet, they are completely different characters. Bayonetta is a strong, sexy female character. Quiet is a candy for the male masses. I think you'd notice the diference if you play both. 

EDIT: And no, I didn't say every women in every videogame is portrayed with sexism, don't put sentences in my mouth that I've never said, thank you ;)
