@fredyellowone @ModestDude "t's about useless hypersexualizaton in games." What should its use be? What's the "use", the purpose, of sex appeal?

@follyconvention @Zork_Wesker @Articuno76 What "gender rights"?

@Porcupethtonia @l777l Sex appeal is a result of appearance, behavior, and status. I'm trying to figure out what the (range of) taste you find appropriate is.

You didn't answer the question of who is being exploited. Please do.

You claimed it has nothing do with character or story. I expressed the point that this is not necessarily so, refuting the 'just for figurines and cosplay' argument you relied on.

@SunnyLollipop "It's better we see women represented properly like in games such as The Last of Us and Beyond Two Souls."

Yeah, you go and just look at those. Maybe you should look at real women only and abandon games entirely, lest you get bad ideas.

P.S.: Only properly look at real women.

@missing_lights @SporkFireXPS "Than Ellis is right and this is exploitative." Exploitative in what sense? Exploiting whom?

@Zork_Wesker The series' realism varies. This could be well within its usual bounds.

@Porcupethtonia "This laughable definition of "sexy" is tasteless and without purpose. You don't need to be 90 percent naked to be sexy. Sexiness has more class than this. This is just selling out and shameless exploitation (...)."

What do you consider tasteful sexual behavior? And whom do you see exploited here?

"(...) it has nothing to do with the character or the story. Don't look at me; Kojima said it himself that it was to drive figurine sales and drive cosplay costumes."

Not mutually exclusive: It's possible to create a character to drive both story and cosplay.

@SloganYams Style.

@SporkFireXPS @ahpuck @Remi2521 It's hardly surprising that fictions offers extremes. It's naturally suited to provide certain things that aren't available in real life. The desire to experience sexiness and beauty is nearly endless, its satiation nearly impossible, which means unavailability.

There are two questions: 1) is the sexual nature of these female characters absolutely wrong? 2) Is it quantitatively wrong: a) are those who create such art and those who consume it acting in excess; are they obligated to create comparable products for a subset of women?

In my view: "no" to all these questions.

@LiquidOcelot145 That's most likely not practical dressing. Not that I ask for that here.
