Why is it an issue?

Objectification of women in real life is an issue, but why is it an issue in video games? Video games are somebody's artistic expression.

Is the glorification of Satan, murder, and blood/cum orgies in death metal songs an issue?

What about the extreme objectification of women in women's magazines, is that an issue? Should we force Cosmo and Vogue to stop airbrushing their anorexic models and focusing on "how to look sexy"?

These are all symptoms of widely accepted cultural values. It's okay to try and change those values as a broader social effort. It's not okay to go around whimsically policing and censoring whichever medium you feel deserves it. Women-centric media (certain magazines, reality TV, Dr. Oz, romantic comedies, The Bachelorette, Dance Moms, Kardashians, etc) handle women as bad or worse than masculine video games do, from image, values, and character-strength standpoints.

Anita is an opportunist, not a scholar. She's found something that is making her a lot of money and attention, and she has latched onto it like a leech.
