This sounds well-intentioned, and I respect that, but there are a number of things that can go wrong with this. How can one objectively judge sexism in games?
To use an example, take a series like Senran Kagura. The games are about a group of shinobi girls, and most of these girls have large breasts. As you may guess, it's very fanservice-oriented. However, is it sexist? Now, I'm open to rational discussion on the matter, but I, personally, don't think it is. The reason for this is that the characters are not defined by their bodies; they have individual personalities beyond being sexy. The characters are strong, being elite shinobi and all, and are independent. There are men involved, as well, though they mostly take passive roles, and the one playable man is treated in the exact same way as all of the women are. It passes the (woefully shallow) Bechdel test[footnote]Funnily enough, if there was a reverse-Bechdel test that tested for men instead of women, it would fail the second condition; there are multiple named male characters, and they never talk about girls in a romantic or sexual way, but they never really interact with each other, unless Murasame interacts with either Hanzo or Kiriya in Senran Kagura 2 and I don't know about it.[/footnote], and the women are strong, independent, and well-developed as characters, and they don't wear revealing clothing (barring a bit of cleavage here and there) unless it fits their character. However, they are designed to be attractive, and there is a hefty level of fanservice, although the playable man is subject to this as well. Senran Kagura is an ambiguous case; both ways of looking at the game are valid, so how could a ratings board rate this game series objectively?
