I know I'm going to come off as an idiot for replying to someone reported but considering recent events, I feel this is necessary for discussion.
First of all, 50 Shades of Twilight Fanfiction, Grand Theft Brothel 5 and Super Smash Harem may all be fairly popular, and they all might have some sort of theme like that, but they all pail in comparison to The Bible both in terms of influence on First World Cultures, and promotion of violence against women. Just look at what they sometimes do to women in the middle east, and you will see exactly what happens when people base their moral compass and intellectual knowledge off of a book, fictional or otherwise. Attack the Disease, not the Symptom. All these titles are fairly recent, but the injustice half the planet has faced because of their genitals predates these titles by hundreds, if not thousands, of years. To act like media and pop culture is to blame for actual culture's failings has become the go-to creed for anti-feminist straw women and time after time we see that this phenomenon is diverting public attention and discussion from actual problems in the world, like women being stoned to death for walking outside of their house. Yes, you are free to criticize a game or book for having such themes, but by that same standard I am free to tell you that there are bigger fish to fry then the shrimp mackerel that is 50 Shades of Crimes Against the English Language.
Second, are you insinuating that by because of historical discrimination and violence toward women, they shouldn't be allowed to be playable characters in a fighting game? You do realize that such a restriction would only encourage the patriarchy by further endorsing the "women are acted-upon only" notion that is essentially half of a patriarchy? Yes, having female characters in a fighting game potentially increases the likelihood that a sicko thinks that this sort of thing is OK irl and recreates it, but it also potentially increases the likelihood that the same sicko believes that since women aren't in fighting games, they aren't capable of defending themselves and would be easy pickings if said sicko went out on a rampage. People who cause violence and destruction will look for any excuse to do it.
Lastly, how on Arceus' god green earth does someone see what happens in 50 Shades of Shock Value to fighting games with female characters as the same thing? Does the female character from that book pull Toad from under her dress to use as a shield? Does the female character don a power suit halfway into the movie adaptation and blow her employer's brains out? Does she even lift? I haven't read the book or seen the movie, but chances are if any of those happened, 50 Shades of Emotional Bankruptcy would probably be getting much better reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. While it is possible to blow up, set on fire, electrocute, and repeatedly stab female characters in fighting games, it is just as possible to blow set on fire, electrocute, and repeatedly stab male characters, mutant animals and a 2-Dimensional entity. I didn't see PETA make a fuss about a blue super-fast hedgehog, a yellow electric mouse or the dog from Duck Hunt being playable like they did with Mario and Pokemon a few years back. I might see an issue if the female characters were competitively inferior to the male characters, but last I checked, Sheik is top-tier in Melee and the day ZSS dips anywhere lower then High Tier is the day Half Life 3 becomes a Tabletop RPG marketed toward Flying Pigs who live in a Frozen-Over Hell.

As for the weapons of mass destruction bit, we tend to make weapons usually out of fear of invading threats and/or ignorance toward the idea that anything foreign could POSSIBLY be going through the same crap as us, maybe even worse. Fear and Ignorance seem to have started a lot of recent wars. Even the American Civil War was fought out of the Confederate States' economic fears.
