i don't think it is merely that the "hunt" could result in pain or even injury for the women is why people are objecting to this. i'm pretty sure it is because people find the entire idea of hunting other humans with guns to be objectionable - yes, they are using non-lethal weapons, but its stilll running around and shooting defenseless people with guns. the fact that the people being hunted are naked women adds in a strong element of misogyny.
personally, as long as being shot with a paintball while naked doesn't pose a high risk of personal injury, the only rational reason i could see to objecting to it is that there is something very unseemly about telling people to go out and hunt women with guns. but it just seems wrong to me to have men pay money to hunt and shoot women - even with paintballs.
