if she were the most interesting character ever and you would have all that perfection ruined because of the way she is dressed at certain points in the game then you're the one that's only paying attention to the object, not the person.
uh

yeah

because i'm capable of looking at things critically like that

I thought that was what you were against here, women being shown as just objects? Yet you would fully ignore the person to take complete offense at the physical appearance. How can that possibly be a rational position?
because if i'm acknowledging that she has a character, i'm not ignoring it

you stupid dumbass
You said that she could have a perfect character and that if she dresses or appears a certain way she's shit. That's ignoring the character, or at least putting maximum emphasis on the object part of them.

And watch the names bro, you might hurt someone's feelings.

Quiet doesn't fall into the category you mentioned
uh

yeah

she does

she's an oversexualized piece of misogynistic pandering shit
She has a character, she's not just something to stare at like you seem to want her to be.

That'd be true if she had a better story, or if her skimpiness was actually deconstructed like Kojima claimed it would be.
Yeah, her story really could've been a lot better and the ending has me scratching my head wondering what in the fuck they were on when they wrote it.

She has a character
it doesn't matter
she can be the most interesting character ever

but if her design subjugates women, it's a bad design
and if you're rational, you'll consider that a problem

Yeah, that's a thing, but men are treated as worthless, disposable henchmen, druggies, or other such roles. Basically just living targets for the protagonist to shoot, while the women can be sex objects. It's a silly generic role that's super easy to throw characters into without any care or thought.

Besides, this isn't one of those cases.
what is your fucking point, guy

shitty characters are bad, yes

we know

i'm talking about a specific kind of shitty character, and you're talking about irrelevant crap
You said women have a shitty character trope, and I pointed out men also have an equal shitty character trope. Quiet doesn't fall into the category you mentioned, so what are you really on about here?

So Eli's hair got bleached when he was a POW in the Middle East. He's about 13 or so in MGS5...so when the fuck was he captured? Was he prepubescent when he joined the SAS?
More retcons than 40k.

Are you replying to my posts before you finish reading all of it? I said that in the next sentence.
but the problem is that women are rarely portrayed as complex people in media

they're treated as sex objects

Everyone's body is an object, you really can't avoid that.
are you incapable of getting the point

we're more than just "bodies"
we're people

you certainly are going to be more interested in a book with a more attractive title or cover art.
it's a cheap tactic

and no--if i see a cover like that, exploiting male or female sexuality in some way, i automatically become disinterested
I didn't say attractive people, it's a book cover, it can be about anything. Surely you're not going to tell me you're not attracted to things you think are pleasing to the eye? Again, not talk about human bodies, just in general.

It's the media, everyone is objectified.
that's not a good thing
Everyone's body is an object, you really can't avoid that. It's only a bad thing if you can't bring yourself to see past the object into what/who that object is.

the issue, obviously, is that she's only dressed like that for fanservice
it's an insult
If I'm supposed to feel insulted because someone is wearing revealing clothing for the hell of it, they're going to have to start trying harder.
no

it's an insult because they're literally implying that you wouldn't give a fuck about this character unless she was so sexualized--that's how most fucking women are treated in media

they're objectified
It's the media, everyone is objectified. God only knows how many times some male celebrity shows up on a magazine cover shirtless. The reason is to attract attention, it's what it does. Just because something grabs your eye doesn't mean the cover is all there is, it just drags you in. You don't judge a book by its cover, but you certainly are going to be more interested in a book with a more attractive title or cover art.

I literally just said that.

My point is I think her blatant fan service kinda takes away from her.
I'm slow, okay? But if you're not a 13 year old getting a hard-on why give a shit? It really doesn't matter. It's not like you can't just ignore the way she's dressed and move on.

You say that like it negates her main attire you see her with, and what she was marketed as.

It's a MUCH BETTER uniform (and when I get it, she's always gonna wear it), but she was obviously the eye candy with a shit excuse at being such.
Yeah she was the games naked lady marketing tactic, so what? Not like that really changes the game or her character too much.

I'd love a boss battle against Quiet in a Metal Gear remake.

Doesn't the slut die though?

Left ambiguous but implied.

And she isn't really a slut.
I'm gonna call her a slut because Kojima dresses her as such.

A fucking tutorial would be nice. I played number 1 and was still figuring out the controls when I was given a boss fight. Doesn't help that asking for help with dark souls usually just results in getting shit for not figuring out something which is in no way explained to you.
That is the tutorial. They tell you literally everything you need to play the game.

Then it didn't explain it very well.
You plunge attack the Asylum Demon by pressing RB as you start to fall, which takes away 50% of its health, then you just run around dodging its attacks until you have time to move in and stab it. As soon as you start to understand the combat it's not much of a challenge.


It never explained the RB falling thing.

It wasn't until I googled it that I figured out how to beat the damn thing. Even past that, the unresponsive controls, uninteresting 'story', horrible creature design, awful fanbase and lack of a pause function turned me off from the game pretty quickly.
It's literally right before the fog gate you go through to fight the boss, you'd have to be blind to miss it.

There's a delay between pressing the button and your sword/shield moving, yes. This is something most people figure out due to how consistent it is, and you time your actions accounting for the delay, it adds more to the gameplay, like it or not.

The story is actually pretty good, even though it's not handed to you and you need to piece things together on your own and discover the world.

I'm pretty sure you're just bullshitting on that one because you didn't get far into the game to see the actual enemy variety.

The fanbase is wonderful, shut your mouth.

It's called play the game or turn the game off. It's really not that hard.

wait, wouldn't quiet's parasites die if they went to her lungs? Her lungs are 100% fucked and they'd just die in there.
Spoiler
Code Talker also lives by photosynthesis, but doesn't have to be 80% nude.
Also, couldn't she have just taken the Wolbachia?

Spoiler
Maybe that would have taken away her powers. Or maybe Kojima just didn't want to to take away his excuse for her to be naked.
Spoiler
You mean wearing clothes taking away her powers or the wolbachia? None of the other skulls had problems with wearing clothes, and The End didn't either, and they had no problem keeping their powers. Really, the only requirement for clothes Quiet could wear would be that they need to be breathable.

She was just naked for more money. Never underestimate the marketing power of the naked lady.
