I guess everyone writes really LONG comments. Mine is simple. Characterization is almost always based on the character appealing to their intended audience. Team Ninja obviously failed to do so for Abbie Heppe as well as many others. Calling it sexist is a different story, but also would have to be based on Team Ninja's intent, which none of us actually know. Just because a character is weak and female, doesn’t mean it is sexist.
