If you're gonna be staring at an ass for most of your play through, might as well make it a nice ass, amirite?
With that said, there are plenty of games, where the character is female and isn't sexualized. Life is strange, The last of us, Portal, Mirror's edge, The walking dead, Assasin's creed Syndicate, Beyond 2 souls, the new Lara Croft games.
All fantastic games, with great storylines, engaging gameplay and badass protagonists. Sexy, but not over the top.
Super sexualization is done in more anime-styled games, or really silly ones like Saints row.
Also, video games are a type of art form, where the creator is free to make it in any way they desire.
You can't really enforce PC culture on a video game character... They are not real. Objectifying pixels is not the same as objectifying real women.
Feminists go crazy over the hookers in GTA games, but hookers also exist in real life and have probably done much nastier stuff, than what's portrayed in the game.
Another idea, why not raise money to get women on hard times off the streets and help them get on a safer, more legal path. Nah, better to protest against the sexualization of pixels!
And let's not forget that GTA is a parody of modern life...
Ever stop to hear what kind of nonsense NPCs discuss and learn some of their history... It's all dialed up to 11.
It's a bit like getting upset over a comedy skit. Lighten up and get that stick out of your ass.
