Avoid the Smurfette principle (don't have just one female character in an ensemble cast, let alone one whose personality is more or less "girl" or "woman.")
"Lingerie is not armor" (Dress female characters as something other than sex objects.)
Have female characters of various body types
Don't over-emphasize female characters' rear ends, not any more than you would the average male character's.
Include more female characters of color.
Animate female characters to move the way normal women, soldiers or athletes would move.
Record female character voiceover so that pain sounds painful, not orgasmic
Include female enemies, but don't sexualize those enemies
1. Evoking "The Smurfette Principle" is admission of ignorance. Smurfs don't have sexes/genders, Smurfette was created by Gargamel to spread mischief and disorder in the smurf village. When Papa Smurf "purifies her" and brings out her hidden good nature she becomes prettier because the Smurfs is aimed towards children, and "inner beauty" is a very common lesson to them.
More relevantly though, 90% of the games I play have more female characters than male, but occasionally I notice this Smurfette principle when I'm fighting on the front lines with a sword and some random chick is physically stronger than massive brutes.
2. I have never seen a female character dressed as a dildo in a video game. 99% of the time that females aren't wearing burkas in games, it's not at all sexual anyways. And even when it is, normally it fits i with the style of the game.
3. Yes, we need more obese girls in games. Having various heights, chest/waist/hip sizes, and whatnot simoly isn't enough. This is the 21st century, we need to teach our children that obesity is not something people can control, and that it's okay to lead unhealthy lifestyles.
4. Well, I can't seem to think of any reason why females would have larger hips and butts than male characters.
5. Yeah, let's start setting quotas for colours. Regardless of the setting, story, or artistic direction, there should be equal representation of all sexes and races.
6. The Obese girls from 3 need to also move like gymnasts.
7. Anita has obviously never satisfied a woman.
8. No boobs, butts or shoulders.

I'm surprised she didn't ask for a simpler control scheme for games considering she had a hard time pressing between two buttons in Mirrors Edge.
as for females with various body types

She will just use death and rape threats to draw more attention.

And obtain more "funding."
It's important to stop and observe stupidity.

By ignoring her she wouldn't be able to cry about these threats, she only got popular after those faggot gamers started flinging shit at the dumb cunt
