Yeah we should! Most games listed here could have switched the character gender without making changes to the plot as such.

But it does make a difference, so I think they should be included. Even in the extreme example like Satisfactory, where you barely see what your quiet protagonist looks like, it's make a lot of people happy that the character just is female without it being pointed out or sexed up. It's also made a few people from the Expected Crowd confused and annoyed, which is healthy.
