Re: The "Quiet" secret from yesterday

[(Anonymous)]

i think op is trying to say that to be objectified means being downgraded from a fully developed valid character to a sex object or to be treat as nothing but a sex object by the narrative, and that we can't say for sure that a 'sexily' designed character has been devalued as a character until you fully experience the character. i think it's less 'don't be mean to the character' and more 'don't assume sexist writing until you've read the writing'.

No, no I'm aware of that, which is why I said "that (the) MGS as a series has a lot of equal-opportunity pandering and a good track record of attributing deep, three-dimensional, humanizing characteristics to scantily-clad pictures of women in the past".

I've played almost the entire series, I'm well aware of Eva's badassery, the equal opportunity fanservice, etc., etc. Those are fair points.

But the design staff still chose to design her like that, amongst all the other possible designs they could have chosen, and even admitted that it was for sexy cosplay/fanservicey pandering. So even if she turns out to be a badass, well-developed character, it's still entirely fair to criticize them for that design choice.
