I'm glad you made this argument since you destroyed it on feminist frequencies work on women's objectification in video games. Keep going.
The normalization of viewing women as disposable objects is in the existence of the mechanic which PLAYERS ARE INTENDED TO USE. The fact that you lose points (which you can recover by hiding the bodies!) does nothing to change this.

You may as well argue that Grand Theft Auto games make it clear that you're not meant to wreak havoc and go on rampages because when you do you incur a wanted level. Yes, clearly Rockstar doesn't want players doing that! Why else would the game "penalize" you for doing so?

False equivalency. Hitman is score based and incentivizes you to be the best assassin. Harming ANY innocent is penalized because good assassins don't leave bodies everywhere. SOME points are gained back from hiding ANY body because it's you covering your failure.

In this game everyone is disposable, even men. Shocking I know.
