No, I’m asking whether you still think a game with female leads is sexist. Your answer?

It depends on the game. Tomb Raider sometimes frames Lara in ways that present her as a sex object, but overall HZD and TR are examples of some of the progress made in recent years.

Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and Dark Souls don't have defined female protagonists, they let you create your own, which is entirely different. For games with established protags, ones with men outnumber ones with women tremendously.

There are plenty of games in which you can choose to play as a male or female character. There are plenty of games that specifically cast you as a heroic male protagonist. There are considerably fewer that specifically cast you as a heroic female protagonist.

Why? Because no one cares about the sex of a protagonist. As long as they’re fun to play with

A whole lot of women who for way too long rarely saw themselves in games as anything other than damsels, victims, or sex objects do care, actually.
