If you substitute “person” for “woman” in the Penny Arcade comment it wouldn’t be viewed as sexist at all. I think the point he was making is that death can be brutal in the game, not that SPECIFICALLY because Croft is a woman that the deaths are noteworthy. Swap in Nathan Drake (much like the author of this article did earlier) and say “if you like to watch a man get impaled” and no one bats an eye. Some of this stuff just seems like someone responding in an oversensitive manner.
