What exactly is "non-politcally correct"? In what ways do discrimination and dehumanization of certain peoples involve politics?

I hear you and agree that we should be allowed to explore fantasies. However, when one's sexist fantasies are similar to one's reality, intervention is reasonable. Concrete example: cat-calling.

How is telling someone how to make their game any different than telling a woman how to dress?
I don't see how this is relevant as I did not suggest game makers should make different games. Rather I was simply commenting on the observation that there are social issues regarding sex and gender in our world, and that many video games showcase them (usually unintentionally).
Can you name a single form of media that doesn't showcase sex and gender in our world? Also Why is this a bad thing?
