2B's design has been controversial on here since day one.
Suited Samus:
People are calling out other reasons besides being blatant fap fuel for the reasons why the designs are bad. So the kneejerk, "just becuz it sexee dosnt men it's baed" bullshit misses the point completely. Like how those designs rarely fit the context, tell us anything about the character and in a lot of cases outright contradicts their personality thus making them a less believable character regardless of their growth throughout the narrative, they never address the actual consequences of having such figures in the first place, (any women with large breasts, even ones who are physically fit, will tell you how cumbersome that life can be and some of these designs have breasts bigger than their head with incredibly thin torsos), sometimes, (ALL THE TIME) they're just reinforcing sexist, (women are just objects), and racist, (dark skin is bad), and adding to an already huge orgy of similar designs with incredibly similar tropes, (literally decades worth of character designs with the exceptions being notable because they're exceptions) etc. etc. etc. so it's not just because they're juvenile designs, but a whole spectrum of reasons that just a mere glance leads to an eyeroll because it's 2017 and these designers can and should do better because others are. So there's genuinely NO valid excuses.

False equivalency when there's not an outright vagina shown either.
'over-sexualization'.
You're saying this as if male writers creating story reasons for sexualized outfits for women isn't in and of itself an incredibly common and problematic trope.
Oh you see I thought you were referring to the people who were complaining about the sexualized designs in the first place. My bad. Still, something that needs to be said,
Looking at that character it seems like the result of a bad modeling, writing, and I mean (and I mean really bad and egregious writing), and animation team moreso than an outright bad character design.
I'm disappointed Lymle hasn't been mentioned yet. One of the creepiest little girl designs i've seen in a game. She reminds me of a wierd porcelain doll.
Fire Emblem Awakening started the trend, but it got worse in Fates. The female armors are awful.
Camilla for example:
I want to kill myself right now

Literally just popped into my view while playing HotS.
wat
To me Bayonetta had spidery proportions and a tiny head and was just a bit over the top for me. Still love the game though.Oh man. I LOVE this design. I never played that Prince of Persia game, but that girl looks both super-hot and badass to me. I even like the short hair.
When it comes to female character designs that I dislike, there are many that I find very unattractive or plain boring, but Makoto from Street Fighter 3 is probably my best example. She has giant feet, nothing visibly feminine going for her and she looks too similar to the king of vanilla character design (Ryu).
I do concede her ball-punch Ultra attack in SF4 was pretty funny.
I really dislike Zarya from Overwatch too. I like her face and her gun, but her super-muscular body is something I'd rather not see.
Men are not genetically wired to want to write narrative reasons for bad character designs. In fact, most successful writers tend not to do that. There's a reason this industry praises Ellie yet laughs at best at a character like Quiet in this day and age.
There's not even a probably about it. Quiet's writing is straight up misogynistic, hell, everything about the way women are treated in MGSV is misogynistic...Strangelove LITERALLY gets fridged, Paz is tortured and raped and then killed and even the reason she killed herself turns out to be misrepresented, Quiet is literally burned alive and the only member of her entire hit squad who's shown not wearing a mask, (when the player could've put two and two together if she was shown wearing a mask because hello, SINGLE female character in the narrative, they treat her appearance at the beginning like a revelation regardless because the writing is shit), ofc since she's a woman there has to be a scene where she almost gets raped, it's incredibly bad.
You implied that all men are wired to like women...I mean I understood what you were saying, but that's what the poster is getting at.
No Bayonetta so far?
Me too, I've always been a fan. I like sexy female characters sometimes, but as a straight woman, my idea of sexy is obviously different to a man's (in many cases anyway), and I find a lot of examples in this thread over the top and tacky. But I don't count 2B among them.
My personal view,
Yennefer is the sexiest character ever made, I have a serious girl crush on her, its a good mix of design and personality. I just love her.
huh, don't go there man, i don't really think that was his intention,at least i hope so.
We really shouldn't boil down every mistake that man makes as an attempt at trolling, especially when it's the culmination of a clear downward spiral of sexism.
Hello, i'm a mechanic, my body is constantly gonna be exposed to substances that are not good for skin at all, I literally am never seen fixing a car, I do however, have scenes where I get to wipe the windshield:
Hi, I'm the ultimate culmination of my creator's decade long downward spiral when it comes to the representation of women, I literally can't talk or wear clothing or else i'll fucking die, btw, I will literally strip what little clothing I have and pose for you like a fucking animal with dead eyes if you take me with on your missions, please pay no attention to my rape scenes or the fact that I literally spend large chunks of the game inside a cage:
Hi, my designer literally gave up:
Hi, I'm a racist stereotype where turning evil literally turns my skin dark, gives me tribal tattoos, and increases my breast size, I literally turned evil because the hero who i've never met won't love me:
What? Also uncreative literally compared to what?. A long running line of tit ninjas?
