Why isn’t this a standard outfit for male protagonists is modern day stealth/espionage games? I mean it’s called the “mercenary suit” so clearly it’s very powerful and empowering!
Since metal gear’s all up in the news these days, did you see the Metal Gear Online release trailer? Customizable female avatars and women soldiers dressed like actual soldiers! I am so hype!
I would really love to know what’s going on at Konami these days. Okay I know everyone with an interest in games would like to know that, but Metal Gear Solid 5: Phantom Pain is being particularly baffling from a represent of women point of view.
Because they have pretty much flawless representation in this video… but then they have this….*

* Mandatory disclaimer for all the MGS fans frantically rushing to tell me things that don’t actually matter:
I know exactly who the Boss is and I know she usually wore her outfits closed, and that her scar was a lot more visible in MGS3.
I know exact who EVA is and I also know that they could have picked other female characters who had distinctive looks. Meryl Silverburg or Olga Gurlukovich for example.
Absolutely nothing about this promo is about keeping in character – the Big Boss is not a James Bond fan and certainly would never decorate his pony like that.
