Actually, on second thoughts, maybe not...

On the contrary,I think it's brilliant!This exactly what I had in mind.After all,the female heroes of most games are too skinny and sexy.It's about time there was a heroine that looked a bit more like this.I just woke up from a nap and checked this thread,and I laughed out loud.Now I'm REALLY hoping somebody or several somebodies will make this.Makes me wish I was an artist.

Aren't the males in games also idealized? You can't conflate under-representation of strong females with agency with under-representation of non-idealized body types. They are both issues, but they are distinct.
The image posted above is not what a good "Duchess Nukem" protagonist would look like: it's clearly a mockery of the concept, and it makes me question the legitimacy of the grouchbag account. You would want a character more like Zoë Washburne from Firefly. She is not objectified, but she is clearly capable of kicking ass.
Of course, if you would still like Duke Rocks' take, then I think I know a game you would enjoy.

I can't find the exact clip, but in S1E6 of Doctor Who (2005), some of the characters run up some stairs and make fun of a Dalek for not being able to follow them... and then it starts flying up the stairs shouting "ELEVATE!".

That would make an interesting game mechanic. Going up stairs would be impossible for you, while enemies can do it.

As for female Duke, it occurred to me that somebody was working on something at some point, not sure who it was, but they were attempting to replace Duke with a female character maybe two or three years back. The concept is interesting and I'm certainly going to try out that Vixens TC.
@Hendricks420; The ninth doctor is my favorite, plus Billie Piper was on the show back then so I know that episode quite well.
"The great space dustbin! How does it feel Dalek!?" - The ninth doctor was badass, but I think his best moment was;

This isn't a difficult concept.

And I am not sure if it looks like she could even lift the Devastator

And who would want to play her?
Alternate
Daisy Nukem, if you will, would likely be completely different than her male counterpart. While the stereotypical male wants to get right into the action and kick some ass, the stereotypical female might have a stable of beefcakes do her fighting for her, until they all get wiped out and she has to step in to take care of business. She'd probably also find a way to be president of the world or something. Any other ideas?

A possible female Duke.

Wow, that first one I created in Poser back when I was doing the posters for the HRP. Funny that someone would hang on to it.
I called it the Lara-Duke offspring.
