My boyfriend called me while I was at work to tell me about it. He sent me an email with pictures of this new “soldier” and I had to show the women I work with (also Marines, current or former). We couldn’t believe it wasn’t some sort of joke. One of my coworkers even said, “Oh, yeah; she’ll definitely last in combat so long as she isn’t worried about a tit popping out.

Women in the military interviewed about the portrayal of women in games. Specifically for the quote, Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain. Recommending reading the whole thing, as there’s some great stuff in there. (via kierongillen)

At first I thought they were going to make fun of him and I was about to get angry but then Wonder Woman was like “yeah, my outfit is pretty awesome.”

Also props to the writers for making that joke with version of Diana who wears outfit that makes sense and would stay on in real life (unlike traditional cleavage + metal bar that could slip off her boobs at any time).

It is a very powerful costume design!

edit: Fuller context of this scene and better look at Diana’s costume here.

edit 2: Apparently, this scene IS problematic and can be read as transphobic, after all.
