I'm saying that you're taking what is currently the standard and implying that by virtue of being the standard it is no longer worth fighting against it's proponents by calling them SJW's etc. Whether it's right or wrong is a personal belief, but you're taking it as a universal value that by virtue of being the standard now cannot be rightfully questioned as SJW. The fact that 30 years ago, had modern games existed, people would have been outraged at scantily clad female leads proves that it's not a universal value, it's simply a value forced in to the mainstream by past SJW's. I see no issue with people calling those kinds of people out as sjw's online - but you seem to have a dismissive attitude about it.

You didn't answer my question.

I think it's OK if there is an option to pick a male gender option in those cases. I also understand that many people have a problem with it in general. It is more difficult to identify with a female lead as a man than it is to identify with a male lead as a woman (there have been studies on this) However I'm not commenting on personal opinions, I'm simply stating that just because claim something as standard doesn't mean that you should dismiss dissenting opinions, and what you may consider standard isn't any better just because it is standard.
