In a setting based on the real world, perhaps. But what about in a fantasy setting? Is statistical equality between men and women more immersion breaking that say magic to you?

Yes it is more immersion breaking then magic. Magic doesn't exist, you can do whatever you want with magic and I can't call BS cuz their is no real world basis. However female humans exist, when they are portrayed in video games they are clearly modelled after real women. I am quite familiar with the female human, I have a mother, a sister, over a dozen ex girlfriends and a wife (and they have all been laughably weak compared to an average man).

Humans are sexually dimorphic and they always depict the women as real world women, they are more slender then the men, shorter, have breasts, etc. That is the female body and it is not as capable at performing any physical tasks as the male body.

Yet in soo many video games/movies women are real women in every single way....except they are just as strong and fast and good at fighting as men. It is very immersion breaking, you might as well have men get pregnant and say oh its just fantasy though, no it's clearly not just fantasy real humans were being depicted here except for this stupid twist.
