You lost any claim to not troll baiting right here.
Sometimes SJWs have some semblance of sanity (rare, but it happens), this is not one of those moments.
Go back to tumblr and twitter where your kind have an echo chamber.
And if it gets crazy enough, it will end up on TIA on Reddit where sane people can laugh and admire the sheer WTF. 
I had a thread suggesting the option to select our own run/walk animations. Maybe for the CC/Facemelter DLC?
Days after the title change and I still go, "hey, it's the 'bimbo' thread."
It's a word I never see anymore and now it's stuck in my head.
It's a pretty fun word to be honest 
they run like that because when they did the mocap with a girl, that's how the mocap actress ran...
tho, i'm sure if you put some armor on her she'd run differently, doubt they'd do that however

Is it really motion captured? I swear the top half and bottom half of my female Inquisitors look like they pivot in completely opposite directions, and I am a little surprised to learn bodies can actually do that!
That run tends to annoy me because, at least IMO, the story works a little better with a female NPC. But combine that amount of hip pivoting, with a "sheathed" longsword, and it's a wonder I haven't cut any of my companions legs off by accident between battles yet. At least in DA2, I could mod it out.
How does the story work better with a female PC?
Andraste was a woman, so your inquisitor also being one forms a larger theme of messianic women in Thedas. Cassandra comments on it along these lines in one of the talks you can have with her, actually.
<nods emphatically> I think also Leliana mentions it at some point too.

That seems very loose. I could just as easily say being male offers a nice balance between the major religious figures of the world.

Offers a nice balance, sure, but you can't argue it fits more with the theme of messianic women in Thedosian religion. Because a male inquisitor would not be a messianic woman.
Personally, I think both genders of PC work decently well in the setting. I just prefer playing as a woman.

That's fine. I don't have a preference either way. I just don't think one "fits" any more than the other. I don't think a single instance of a female prophet prrior to ours creates a theme.
I certainly wouldn't have said "a male inquisitor fits the story better" if Andraste was a man, and I would have questioned anyone who did. I'm sure more people would have questioned such a statement as well, especially on these forums.
I was watching Sex in the City reruns last night, and it suddenly hit me, watching Carrie and the girls strut across NYC in their three inch heels... it's the ladies of Dragon Age!!!! Yes, every time there was a shot of Carrie or Charlotte from behind, I was getting flashbacks of playing a female character. 
As for the cut scene hulk walk, it happens to male elves, too. They make everyone walk in cut scenes as if they have the human male's skeleton. But to make matters worse, my elf's normal walk is pretty stupid, too. I think he's still using the human male's walk.

Andraste was a woman, which in turn relates to nearly all major religious figures being female. The prophet may have been female, but that resulted in a tradition of the major messianic figures - the Divines - all being female as well. That a second "prophet" is female fits more with the fact that the Inquisition is very much a representative of Andraste herself, and a religious organisation in its own right.

So when a movie set in the real world has a male "chosen one" hero, that makes it a better story than a movie with a female "chosen one" hero because Jesus was male, the Pope is male, and all priests are male?

Only if you completely discount the True Divine (all hail the archon). He who sits in the righteous light of the maker ( blessed be his days).Andraste was a woman, which in turn relates to nearly all major religious figures being female.

Now that I've actually seen the animation in question, I consider the Original Post to be even more of an over-reaction.

It's a bit ridiculous, but I prefer it over the Skyrim universal hulk walk. There a fine line between a powerful feminine stride and a girlish saunter, and I think this one is more on the saunter side.
I'd much rather have a body sliders though. Why aren't my female warriors more muscular when they carry a big axe?
Oh and I also agree that OP's exaggerating for effect.
The OP may have stated it in unnecessarily hyperbolic words, but it really is a pretty annoying walk to watch when it doesn't fit your character's personality.
For me, it's annoying enough to prevent me from playing female characters and I find that unfortunate. The thing about a neutral walk is that it's no going to stop someone from playing the game.
Regarding sitting, most women sit differently depending on what they're wearing. They aren't going to sit with their knees together when wearing pants because sitting that way is, tbh, far less comfortable and they don't need to in pants. Someone in armor, particularly bulky armor, is going to sit for comfort there, too.

Not liking an animation is one thing. Using that dislike as an excuse to accuse others of misogyny undermines any validity to the point (besides being fundamentally hostile towards the developers in an inappropriate way.)
If the animation bothered me (it doesn't, I've only needed to watch it for a grand total of maybe 15 seconds of gameplay out of 4 hours, so far) I would have started a new thread asking for one or more additional animation choices. That would have distanced the point from a thread seeking to create an extreme political attack out of what seems to me to be an obvious reaction to the criticisms of Femshep's John Wayne animations in ME 3.

I hate how people use the term "misogyny" these days so much that I hate the term itself.
I am a misomisogynist.
