Quiet Actress (MGS:V) on Sexualization: "Quiet's outfit is not practical at all."

Quiet was good clean fun. As was MGSV.

She breathes through her skin. Having too much clothing could lead to suffocation

She deserves it for saying this: "having more of a diverse representation in video games for women and all minorities is something I would encourage"
What does that even mean? It's just gibberish.

Yes I still want to get Wanted: Dead!
The collector's edition is pretty cheap now so I may get that for the bookshelf and Steam copy to play. Is the game a breeze to play through over a weekend? Or should I wait until after RoboCop?
I thought her comments were reasonable tbh, and I mostly agree with her.
Being sexy was the entire point of Quiet's character design. Metal Gear games are all about stylish hyperreality, and they're ultimately power fantasies.
All the Snake characters are super fit and handsome one-man army badasses. Hardly reflective of the most elite men IRL, let alone, the average man.
I don't understand why so much of the female character design discourse in video games seems to be a zero-sum game now.
You have one camp that hates seeing portrayals of sexy female characters, and another camp that hates seeing portrayals of more unconventional female characters.
I happily fall right in the middle, and I suspect many others do. I'm more concerned about the execution of the concept than I am with the existence of the concept.

It's a short game, but the learning curve can be quite steep for people. It's designed to be replayed for sure. I beat it 7x this year.
I love the game, but I have never officially recommended it to anyone. It's such a divisive game that everyone that buys it must make that decision on their own. You might consider it the worst game you've ever played, or a ton of fun.

What was the question IGN asked? You have to remember She was basically talking to a crazy cat lady working for IGN. So she gave the fluff answers.

Of course I would show my sexy naked body if I has to go to war. If I'm gonna die I wanna die slaying and as hot as possible.

This just in: women have sexy bodies, and men are attracted to them. Get fucked.

It's impractical for a normal human in those conditions, but Quiet is not a regular human. So it's really up to the interpretation of the creator whether something is practical or not for a fictional being with supernatural abilities.

It was never intended to be. The outfit as well as she served their purpose. Sexual titillation aka "sex sells". Which I have no problem with. The majority of people making videogames are hetero males. The majority of people buying videogames on Consoles/PC are hetero males. Makes sense to pander to your paying customers. Ask the Saint's Row developers what happens when you pander to people that historically do not buy your products.

I think she played the right card in terms of avoiding a bunch of nonsense, even if she really agrees with how it was portrayed or not.
Then go naked and say Quiet skin was modified like the suit snake had in MGS4. She would have no reasons for close.

I'd forgotten about Quiets back story explaining her attire.
A story as pathetically transparent and flimsy as her garments.

This is probably the most sensible take on this I've heard from a woman in the gaming industry since the Culture Wars started. They're usually all in on the muh oppression-narrative.

Can we just accept the fact that these design are just for eyes pleasure and forget about "being functional" for once? For some reason American people are kinda obsessed with things looking functional, but this is science fiction anyway so basically nothing is actually functional in real life lol.
Kojima also shouldn't have tried justifying it lmao, just say it's because it makes your dick happy or whatever like Yoko taro

What game? Looks like I'm out of the loop.
Well that must be the sexiest plant I've ever seen.

2015 had some amazing games. Bloodborne came out that year. MGSV had some awesome moments. The ending mission and then taking out posts with the air strikes. The CQC is probably the best it ever was in MGSV.
People look at all these things and it makes you wonder if they even played the game. It’s a super fun game. It’s also super hot in Afghanistan, so why wtf do people want to police what Quiet wears to stay alive? It’s silly.

No. If super powers were real,it would be stupid to not use it whether if it was for good or bad purposes.

So, are you saying to me that if the threat was real, with is not, the outfit would be not practical at all?

lol this is drama bait.
MGSV is such a terrible game that Quiet is least of its problems.
