Legitimately, how else would you say this? "Woman characters" clearly sounds wrong, "characters who are women" sounds unnecessarily long and clunky.

I'd just say "women". characters is redundant when you specify it's in a game.

But that doesn’t make it wrong or misogynistic lol

Broads, dames, birds, etc. Just anything a film noir detective would say
