Rape... it's gonna be rape.
I don't know if "genius" is really applicable to being able to accomplish generating controversy amongst enthusiast gamers.
And we had this as a playable character MORE THAN 10 YEARS AGO:
Oh, the offense!
Isn't she supposed to be Afghan? Maybe her open clothing is a reaction to being raised in a conservative Muslim environment where she couldn't show any skin, couldn't fight for her country or do anything except be a baby-making machine.
FFXIV
On topic
doesn't this contradict the thing he said about display and figures tho lol
What if Quiet is actually an autonomous android driven by a prototype Patriot AI wearing armor made out of refractive nanomachines which are invisible when viewed in sunlight but when seen through X-ray goggles it is revealed that the autonomous robotic entity code named "Quiet" is in fact none other than DARPA Chief Donald Anderson.
I don't see how Raiden is an apt comparison, if anything Kaz is a better comparison. Paz is a good one too, but there is a huge difference in all of those examples. Quiet is being promoted like this from the get-go. I know for a fact that Raiden was never hyped up as "naked cartwheel man" from the get-go, as he wasn't even hyped up as "playable character". I could be wrong about the "date" scenarios, but I don't think they were promoted before the game came out. I think at the very least pictures of them in a state of undress could have been? Not 100% sure.
But the fact remains that they were not originally promoted like that. All of the released character art for Quiet has been in that same outfit. But honestly, that is not the part that bothers me. It is the fact that he straight up staid that he was trying to sexualize her to drive cosplay and figurine sales. Now he comes up with this seemingly random excuse about fighting game characters.
this game is going to be glorious in many ways
It's either that or torture, pick ya poison
I, for one, am offended by Kojima's depictions of naked males in his sexist games. The objectification of men must stop. Problematic.

lmaoTo those who question Mr. Kojima:
But once you recognize the secret reason for her exposure, you will feel ashamed of your words & deeds.
LOL at this guy
Dude, spoilers.

He had a rape victim in MGS4 too, but she ended up in a photo shoot doing sexual poses.

To those who question Mr. Kojima:
I am getting the feeling that this was fan-service too. But for the opposite sex.
If he hadn't previously explicitly said that he wanted her to be more sexy for figurine sales and cosplayers I'd be much more inclined to believe him.
I hope what he says is true though.
I forgot, which "Beauty and the Beast" member was that?
Raiden as a character was created specifically for female MGS fans.
You got that right bro, I feel disgusted!
Raiden IS the perfect comparison. He is the way he is because they wanted to SEXUALIZE the character so that he would appeal to female japanese gamers.
Just imagine having a naked hot female protagonist being controlled by the player in a modern, 3D-HD videogame. Imagine being able to do a cartwheel with her and see her non-existant genitalia. Imagine the outrage whatever the reasons for the character to be naked.
I asked this in the other thread but here is maybe better.
What do the women on Gaf think of the character Quiet? Is the way she's dressed offensive to you?

Is that arrow photoshopped on? I've seen this photo before but I don't remember noticing that
What was the context for being able to jiggle Rose's boobs by shaking the controller in MGS4?
How did that help stop the La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo?

We know why .. she has skin camo abilities. some people just want to ignore that because of some cause.
