You do realize some women really love being "gawked" at or "leered" at as the totalitarian extremists say and, in fact, become empowered by it, right?
It's purely foolish and unethical to sex shame both men and women because they enjoy the character portrayal of Quiet or the fanservice she provides.
And to stoop so low as to categorize all male sexual interest of Quiet's character in a broad fictional universe like MGS as "leering" or "almost raped" is just flat out unacademic and reactionary.
Might as well start a crusade against prostitution, webcam girls, twitch.tv streamers that sexualize themselves and flirt with their users for tips or anything else that you find personally offensive and uncomfortable due to whatever skewed ideas you have of academic sociological concepts that you never actually studied and whimsically decided to appropriate from pop social media like Tumblr.
Appropriation of feminist intersectionality concepts in unacademic ways like sex shaming has only served to push back feminism and reinforce toxic gender norms that were established by patriarchy in the first place.
Not only that but the young woman that was the model for the character of Quiet is probably deeply saddened and frightened by the backlash as well.
And that's not Feminist.
IMO, most of the posters in this thread need to stop obsessing about the faux feminist issues of the character of Quiet and worry about real issues like SEX TRAFFICKING, or HIV IN AFRICA, or, MICRO LOANS ONLY TO WOMEN IN POVERTY, etc.
If she wasn't an enjoyable character thematically or didn't contribute to the story that's a personal opinion and it doesn't need to be attached to a moral crusade. Many people loved her simply for the fanservice and if that's all she was in the end and the actress that portrayed her is fine with that then I'm just going to be happy with another great MGS game and not waste my time on a reactionary extremist minority opinon when bigger more important Feminist issues can be tackled.
My life partner really liked Quiet and she roleplays her quite often in the bedroom
