and saying like "chris redfield is buff" is not really the same. big, buff dudes fighting things is a male fantasy. look at every action flick ever, WWE, MMA, etc. those are male fantasies. if any RE character is seen as attractive by females it is Leon, and obviously that isn't because he is a gigantic muscle head with an unobtainable body that is constantly being shown off as is the case with women in gaming.

And attractive women with giant breasts who do nothing but cook your meals and be available for sex when you want it is also a pretty common male fantasy as evidenced by 90% of depictions of females in all media (not just video games) too.

Why is one acceptable and the other isn't?

If her point is that the problem is that girls are too submissive, then including stuff about their bust size and how pretty their eyes are is a non-sequitir. Males in video games are attractive too. Nobody wants to play a game starring ugly people. Just like how ugly people don't become hugely successful actors or actresses. This is not some sort of societal crisis...
