Can the sexism in these types of games stop?

I guess there weren't many woman industrial moguls in Victorian era...

Seems appropriate for the setting of AMFP.


I think it's unfair to make claims of misogyny against developers due to the lack of female protagonists rather than due to the actual content of the games.

Should a developer be forced to look at the distribution of male / female protagonists in previous games in the same genre every time they design a new game, just to make sure the ratio is balanced?

Treatment of women in games and the games industry itself is a valid topic for concern (I see Everquest Next is continuing it's tradition of marketing using cleavage). Insulting developers due to numbers seems fairly petty.
