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.

Right, but if you saw a video game where you lynch black people, or beat up faggots, would you really argue "it's just their artistic expression?"
Now don't get me wrong: historically video games have been singled out, beyond any other artistic medium, by the "won't someone please think of the children" crowd. Because they're a very new medium, and because they are consumed largely by "the younger generation", they've had to put up with a lot more scrutiny from "the older generation" than other art forms, and that's bullshit.
But that doesn't give the entire medium a free pass either.
