Snake... it doesn't require it. It just has it. Actually.... i don't even think it has it to be honest...
And the female characters are living, breathing persons... able, capable fighters that show as much competence (some times more) than male characters. Both as good and bad people. That's all in there...
But if you actually think MGS is a fantasy series... dude... c'mon now... you are misreading the entirety of the franchise. It has fantastical elements to it... it has sci fi elements to it... but all the way back to the first game, even before MGS... it's a war spy thriller. Closer to a grittier james bond / rambo mash up then anything else really...
