If we're being more serious about the problem of writing women in games (or media in general) it's because writers have always sucked at writing women, and the current crop of writers suck even more.
In 2023 there's only two ways to write the fairer sex:
1. Strong independent quasi-Mary Sue
2. A victim
... that's it. If you comb through most modern games, movies, tv, what have you, you'll find this to be the case. There's no nuance, no characterization beyond these two points.
Writers treat men as
real people, with wants and flaws and weird little details. However, women always fall into the Mary Sue/Victim dichotomy.
And of course, the best way to show someone being strong and just plain better than men: make them a raging bitch.
