I guess since she's a sniper in the desert she's just really devoted to getting a tan.

It's kojima though so there might be a (semi) legitimate reason, but more than likely it's just sex appeal.

I like the MGS series, and it's obviously not meant to be taken too seriously given how ridiculous it's been in the past. If he is going for a serious character design though this is far beyond retarded no matter how you slice it.

Most would agree with you. Consider that the freedom to design anything you want under the sun is a human right. Regardless of what a feminist thinks is ok or not.

As artists we have a great appreciation of the human form. Regardless of gender, you might say we objectify, because we have a great appreciation of the human figure.

People are opposed to the knee-jerk reaction of "that's sexist" that video games have been plagued by recently.

The design is dumb on both a practical and visual factor. Whether or not what's been predicted and revealed about her character stays consistent, it's still looks mediocre and generic. The super model pose with legs out and hand on her hip combined with that dumpy face makes makes it seem like who ever designed this wanted to convey too much but ends up with little to nothing except incompetence (character and designer).
So the character design looks bad.

That's a big part of the problem. This type of design has been done before, and better - see Holly Summers higher up in the thread. Since this character is going to immediately draw comparison to characters with a similar design, it should be a stronger design to help stand out from crowd.

Instead it's pretty weak.

It's strange, I don't think they hate the character. Because a woman was created. Many activists would probably use Quiet as their avatar, as a power statement. They will try to transmute the idea to something that represents their contention. The character itself will be defended like a fellow victim. But the idea is hated. The product is opposed, as well as the creators. The actual designers don't get as much flak, until people like they address the special interest groups. That should be a no-no by the way.

Going to assume activists, oppose the clothing and character design because they consider it objectification. Whenever I see the word objectify, I interpret that someone is treating a character or person like an object or I suppose their interpretation would be that someone is treating a woman like an object? Well, it starts out as a blank piece of paper and becomes an idea, it kind of isn't a real human, being created. Activists assume that because she is designed in that way, that men will only think of the perverse. Or that she was designed as a male fantasy. "This is how 'my' woman would dress." But in essence that is true, it is a character design. I suppose the offense is that an activist would never dress based on what a man likes or how a man tells them to dress. That is ridiculous, because once again, it's a character design.

Here's a thought. I can create a female gendered character. And based on how I design her clothing I can incite a frenzy from a special interest group, who are in the minority by the way, or I can be their hero. The best course of action, for a creator, is not to acknowledge them in any way. If you are dealing with a child, you don't give them the icecream when they are having a tantrum. Of course, you can work with a child. A screaming frenzy of bloggers and activists, will move on to the next controversy.

Still, they're pantyhose. There's a variety of clothing they could have used that they could rip and would fit in more with character and environment. Only reason I see they chose pantyhose was to show off her thong while "trying" to be "discrete".

And it shouldn't be assumed that it's just activists who don't like it. I like sexy female characters, but this design is really boring and uninspired, and more reminiscent of those crappy photo-shoots of scantily clad women with guns than anything(which is to say it looks like something put together on the cheap to make a few easy bucks off of sex appeal rather than something well thought-out).

And therein lies the reason they've sunk their teeth so far into video games, it's the only industry where instead of being ignored, they are given a platform.

I'm not assuming it's just activists. I personally don't like the costume design. So I am addressing activists. And when I say activists I mean men and women. One of my male friends of 12+ years got very angry at me, and he told me to 'check my privilege' when we were discussing Kojima and this costume design. It ended the conversation, because that was a real cop out to me.

>design is really boring and uninspired, and more reminiscent of those crappy photo-shoots of scantily clad women with guns than anything(which is to say it looks like something put together on the cheap to make a few easy bucks off of sex appeal rather than something well thought-out).

Yeah, I see that too. Yet, I am fascinated by Kojima. Just been occasionally following some of his adventures on twitter, through threads on /v/ and posts on tumblr. And he strikes me as a comedic genius, and I have no credentials to say that. His humor is subtle and offensive, he gets on people's nerves when he wants to. And I feel that this is very calculating. Kojima is just putting us all through one big joke while he's making a AAA game.

They have completely avoided hiphop. Rap music advocates everything they hate. But there is never a single mention of it on tumblr or reddit or other activist communities. Either because the rappers don't ever acknowledge it, or because activists view people of color as victims as well, which is a subtle form of racism, we need not get into.

Although, I'm surprised this form of controversy isn't expanded more. I recall watching a VH1 special on horror/satanic/demonic motifs and images in rock music. The Christian special interest groups called for boycotts, bans and apologies. The musicians that didn't back down from the controversy ended up being the biggest, most infamous and most revered entertainers. Alice Cooper, Ozzy Osbourne, Kiss, Iron Maiden. and Black Metal of the 80s and 90s. Alice Cooper said that nowadays grandmothers come to see the music and the only controversy left is to have a live suicide happen on stage.

Game companies are kind of doing a fairly good job, defending their developers. But it's only because the money is safe. They know people are going to buy their games regardless.

one of the main ones i see is that women can manipulate men more easily. idk about other people but i'm a dude and i manipulate women all the time, like constantly, and it's so easy it's natural. i don't know if the dudes spouting this crap are just socially inept or if they don't notice they're doing it.

the effect of a beautiful man on a woman is if anything more powerful than the effect of a beautiful woman on a man. and if your counter-argument goes 'well women can use it more because most people in positions of power are men!' you've kind of shot your own stance in the foot.

This thread is still here?

You can't sexualize a man as easily as a woman, and even if you achieved it, there's a fair chance that it would be perceived as ridiculous.

Is it a cultural thing? Certainly. Only men can be handsome, only women can be beautiful, etc.

I'm not even trying to defend that design. I don't find it appealing at all. But just look at my pic: there are people who ressent the "chainmail bikini", yet Conan is even more naked and that's ok.

That's not chainmail bikini, though. This would be an example.

In your picture, the woman clearly displays a physique that shows her strength, and isn't sexualized (ie. large breasts, small waist-hip ratio, unnecessary make-up, etc). It's actually realistic, and not to mention the male counterpart (I assume they're from the same series) also wears the similar attire.

Having skin exposed doesn't necessarily mean sexualization. Or at least, sexualization done poorly.

And, on the topic of Conan; Conan isn't designed to be sexually attractive, but to display strength. With males it's a tad more of a gray area (since strength and muscles are sexually attractive), but it all really depends to an extent. Very muscled males like Conan obviously aren't made to appeal to women and the like.

Sexualizing men is pretty easy, though often it just gets confused with more musclezz. That Free! animu is a fine example of sexualized dudes.

Any artistic liberty or justifications of why is she almost nude doesn't make the design look less stupid people.

But if you think well is a good desing, because it achieve it's purpose, make idiots (like all the above) horny for them to buy the product.

Does he kick ass? Cool.

Does the design show at least a hint of professional thought behind it, at least something that would make sense in the world the character is a part of? Yeah? Cool.

It's a little obnoxious that artists have to stifle and censor themselves and literally not draw what they want because people will start a shitstorm. It's fucking pathetic.

As a girl it's not the fact that women are sexualized that bothers me, it's that some artists feel that they must sexualize a perfectly good character and give her a cliché, boring personality for it to work. Just look at the New 52 Harley Quinn; she used to be a little sexualized and have a good personality and interesting stories, now she's a full-blown whore and has no personality whatsoever.

jesus christ who cares about all this gender crap.
The real problem is that the design looks trashy and terribly random. It's just not good in a design sense.
you know a design is terrible when the first time you see it, you have to keep asking WHY?

If i look at >>1542351 you can see that the design is at least consistent. the "operator" look is strong enough to mask the nudity, so it's still clear this is a "fighter", not a "stripper". so basically
>operator >>> naked chick

OP on the other hand has way more elements that remind me of a stripper than an operator.
>stripper >>>operator
with the other design, it was clear why she was only wearing so little under her gear, it was obvious.
in OP's design not so much. the difference is that she only has a little bit of gear in the first place, so not wearing anything basically gives off the impression that she doesn't care if she is naked at all. like an exhibitionist
The biggest problem is that bikini. it looks like her nipple could slip any second she starts jumping around, and that's just nor an "operator" type of bikini. changing that alone would make it 20% better, and if you give her some pants, even short ones, this would look like an average design for our age.

Sorry, i only think "objectification" is a problem when people are actively stupid enough to treat real men/women like they don't matter otherwise.

No you amateur fuck. That is how you do character design for one particular project with one particular design language in mind.

If you work as concept artist on some light hearted animated Disney or Dreamworks movie and you come up with gritty Dark Souls armor designs for the guardsmen of a peaceful town, then that design is worthless SHIT.

Why is it so hard for rookies to understand that good design depends on the context. If Kojima wants to make the next MGS completely over the top and silly, then silly, over the top designs are what is needed for that project, not gritty, practical realistic designs that you would consider good.

Sounds more like it's the responsibility of the audience to not take skimpy outfits as reason to objectify people, rather than women to have to dress or act a certain way or risk being seen as less than human. Because, you know, person-hood is intrinsic to all humans. Ah, don't listen to me, I have crazy ideas sometimes.

The initial 'dur slaves' was a total non sequitur. Skimpy clothing would be somewhat ill advised for a sniper, but she could still be very effective (just like all the other warriors in history who fought wearing little clothing).It's not like she's using a flamethrower. The main problem would be crawling over coarse terrain. I'm assuming she has some kinda inate octocamo which reduces her visibility and makes this worth it.

How are any of the other character's outfits in MGS 'functional' given that almost none of them wear helmets? Even people who fought largely naked wore helmets because anything between your head and a sword/knife/shrapnel dramatically improved your chance of surviving.

It's one of their common shaming techniques. It's not usually a matter of whether one has fucked or not, it's usually an insult to one's social and interpersonal skills. The implication is that normal, balanced men would not be virgins by a certain age. So feminists are calling their detractors pathetic losers who don't fit in with the rest of (what they see as) society.

Of course, there is also the other part, being that they like to believe that anyone who has the gall to disagree with feminism hates women or something like that, mostly because the man hates women because he can't get laid. More shaming techniques.

Which is hilarious when you hear feminists railing against slut shaming. It's okay to shame (what you perceive as) virgins but it's horrible and sexist to shame sluts. But the fact that modern feminists are hypocrites, of the Tumblr variety foremost, should be of no surprise to anyone.

>if anything,it's the ugly fat virgin girls who are jealous

What are you doing? Proving a point that you do the same thing? I honestly would like to know in preferably a calmer tone because that sounded really upset.

Then if we replace some words >>1547079

the implication is that normal balanced women would not be fat ugly virgins. So masculinist (trademark) are calling their detractors pathetic losers who don't share the same view as the rest.

Point is arguments can always be called both ways. If you want to have hissy fit about self-proclaimed feminist women on tumblr do it maybe on tumblr so they can look. See how that goes.

For this character design the only fault I see is that it is impractical.I don't mind the bikini or gear but that stocking and boots combo was a god awful idea. As far as setting a mood and giving you the gist of who this person is I think it did fine.

I think the design looks silly. Not in the sort of 'haha how odd an unexpectedly quirky' sort of way, but more like that uncomfortable, cringe-inducing second-hand embarrassment sort of way. You ever had a total autist vomit all of their fanboy in front of the class and just felt embarrassed for them? That is how i feel about it, I feel embarrassed for the studio and the artist and I wouldn't want to be playing the game with other people present without first having a laugh at it, "Haha video games, am I right?"

If the thong was just not so visible the whole design would be SO much better. Underbeath the leggings, ou could even have a little bit of 'whale-tail' action, have the sides of the thong poke out above the pants, it would still be sexy without being ridiculous. Having the thong on the outside really is like wearing your pants on your head except even less hygenic. if we are supposed to read it as her wearing sheer tights over the thongs it makes more sense but I don't think we should be thinking so hard about how the outfit works, just make the leggings opaque and keep the thong poking out.

Otherwise, I think the leggings look pretty cool. I'd like to see some more of the fabric folds where they are most stressed (around the knees and crotch) so they don't look quite so painted on. And I'd make the bra look more like a sports bra instead of being knotted at the center like that. A big ol' jacket could have looked interesting if you really were interested in showing less skin, technically concealing her arms/shoulders/back but still leaving the front visible if it wasn't zipped up.

I really think it would have only taken very minor changes to make the design a lot better.

I don't know who pantyhose is made for. There's the whole leg portion right? And the part over your abdomen, right? Well that upper part must be made for fat people who've got more surface area to cover, or people with ridiculously long abdomens, because they are always made so long. I can pull these things all the way up to my boobs, and yet the leg portion is never long enough.

And yes, pantyhose crotch sag is a thing. Nothing is quite so sad and unaesthetic as the drooping crotch on a pair of hose. And no, you can't pull them up higher because the legs of the hose aren't long enough to allow you.

Hmm, with some people thinking she might have photosynthetic skin the design makes more sense. It still looks silly but could make sense. Some people are thinking she might be able to go invisible, in which case . . . shouldn't she be completely naked? Her design should consist of clothing that is easy to rip off in that case.
