Re: The "Quiet" secret from yesterday

There is no element of her outfit that isn't designed to scream sex object. It's not an outfit with elements of sexuality. It's the clothing equivalent of screaming FUCK. Outside of her character it is safe to say that her visual design is objectifying. You can take a fully fleshed out character and the second you place her in that outfit she is being objectified. REAL PEOPLE CAN AND ARE OBJECTIFIED EVERY DAY.

I've been advised not to continue with this, but I just want to say:

I disagree.

I think a character can have the look of a sex object, and still be more than just a sex object, look at... Almost any Angelina Jolie character. Look at Linda Carters Wonder Woman.

On the flip side, look at raiden. When Kojima pitched the idea of raiden, his wording was something like (Forgive me I this isn't 100% correct it's been years) I want a beautiful fragile looking man as the new main character. Then the game comes out and he's a fucking badass... Who occasionally does naked cartwheels. Do the naked cartwheels diminish him as a character? No. Fuck no. He's wearing less clothes than Quite, and yet, look at that: not an object.

It's the whole thing about not judging a book by it's cover. I don't think you can say a character is being reduced to the status of an object based on how they look. Shit, look at lollipop chainsaw. The objectified character in that was not the girl in the cheerleading uniform. She was sexualized, ofcourse, and I'me sure you'd argue that her character design looked like it was objectifying, but then you play the game and follow the story, and you see that the looks do not dictate the character's strength.


TL;DR. I respectfully disagree.
