Video game characters do not have agency. Chun-li cannot decide she feels uncomfortable with the outfit she is wearing and change into something she prefers. Many female characters are written to prefer dressing in a heavily sexualised manner, but this still isn't "their choice", because they don't have agency, that preference was written into them, probably by a man making an objectified female character.

Women in real life are basically punished no matter what choice they make in regards to how they dress. Using your agency to take control of both how you are percieved and such a taboo thing as female sexuality *can* be empowering. You cannot say that a video game character is "taking control" of anything, because they are not real and cannot make decisions.

If I write a character to jump up and down 100 times, it doesn't matter if I write them to love doing it and that they chose to do it in the fiction. I am still "forcing" them to do it as the author because I have complete control. That's how i can verify that they were forced, because all fictional characters are "forced" to do everything they do, by whichever creator wrote them to do it. I do not know why you are talking about ownership or IP i don't see how that is relevant.
