They have enough control to cause a lot of developers to either not have women protagonists at all, or to make them supermodels just to cater to the neckbeards.

We’ve only just now gotten to the point where gender is becoming irrelevant in games. We’re decades away from the simps allowing normal looking female protagonists in “their” games without protesting/boycotting.
