So, having never watched that episode and not knowing specifically what she was talking about, in the context of video games, due to the nature of them, a female character can literally just be a facelift of the male character, and the male character is clearly what they're "aiming" for. For instance, see FemShep. FemShep, ESPECIALLY in ME1, notably was still like her male counterpart in odd ways. Some animations were poor on her, I think a few times you were called "he", the fact that female characters would hit on you that would have hit on ManShep, but no male characters hit on you or ManShep, period (besides Kaidan), etc.

However, I think many video game characters just are written and act a certain way, and sometimes women are written into these roles. That doesn't make them unfeminist, just poorly written, just as their male counterparts are.
