So Metal Gear's "Quiet" figurine features squishable boobs.

Realistically I don't think she'd mind and probably laugh... on the other hand it could be seen as indirect sexual harassment
The Brain Slug avatar is appropriate here
Why does Konami/Kojima get a free pass on this? If this were a Western developer we would be tearing them apart and their rep would be tarnished
Has any outlet contacted Stefanie Joosten yet? I'm fine with the concept of squishable dolls, but the fact that it's an actual person makes it kind of... feel like harassment? It's a bit like celebrity nude pics. You're not actually hurting them, but it's also a bit invading their privacy.

The comments
"i love it! the figure is cute and sexy and that "gimmick" is really usefull and funny"
So its usefull...
Is the ongoing issue that Kojima likes squishy, scantily clad boobs? I think he may have been actually born that way.
I was picturing you as a sly fox trying to plant some perverse ideas into other gaffers minds.

Hey, thanks a ton!
Yeah sure it could be seen as indirect sexual harassment in crazy town.
It's absolutely nothing like celebrity nude pics. Glad to know if i take a picture of my Hot Toys Tony Stark in a sexual position I'm harassing Robert Downey Jr.

Was an exaggeration. I said realistically she'd laugh about it. Also, Tony Stark doll is non sexual while this one is rather sexualized with the whole squishy boobs and all
This Quiet obsession has been so off putting. I know Kojima's just being Kojima but it's such a bad design, even for a scantily clad woman, and dragging out the model she's based on at every opprtunity has been creepy as hell.

Well how would you feel if someone suddenly starting selling sex toys of you, wouldn't you at least want to be consulted up front and receive royalties?
So this figurine is a sex toy and we know for a fact that she's not ok with it?
So it's the same with fictional violence right?

Dude, that image of the SD card between her buttcheeks had me in stitches.

How do you know she wasn't consulted and not receiving royalties?
If it has a squeezable penis maybe. In any case this is not about consumers of media but creators. You want to be a creep, go right ahead, people making it and then turning it into a profit is something different.

This is getting out of hand.
I thought it was an ironic appreciation at first. No, there are people who legitimately think his writing is worth celebrating.
And it's not like they stole her likeness.
This is ridiculous, she knows this exists. Squishy boobs? have no idea, but she absolutely knows there is a figure of her character coming out.
I don't, that's why I asked if anyone has contacted her. If she was consulted, then sign me up for a squeezable Quiet.

I was referring to the fact that a sexulaized doll of a character from a military action/stealth video game is a small symptom of the fact that most female characters exist in games for the sole purpose of titillation
No matter how nuanced or well written they always get boiled down to tits & ass, nothing more
EDIT:
What if instead of Quiet, it was Katniss Everdeen? Would any outrage be justified because America has different values?
Aren't you the guy who never played a Metal Gear game?
The twist is that this figure is the justification.

Please be sarcasm.
It's a wild guess, but I think she is on the loop.
she doesn't seem uptight about any of it.
Someone better tweet her and see if this picture was doctored. #teamreal

Oh hah never mind!
Time to grope B-).
I don't even. Why is this woman moving against anything people managed to achieve when it comes to women in gaming recently?
No they don't, it's an appreciation of how terrible it is. Like, how people appreciate bad movies.
It has to be.
Maybe to you they do, I've personally never felt that way.
Maybe she too likes squeezable boobs. She's only human.
