Okay Google… show me what happens when Nier: Automata imagery gets to outright fetish levels….

Now, my housemate assures me to that 2P is a quality character but this is really an eye gouging example of what happens when certain types of executives lean into a particular mythical aspect of a complex work of media that happens to have some uniquely honest rhetoric.

Particularly I would like to draw attention to who’s not present in this marketing material ignores literally some of the most important characters in Nier: Automata.

This is why we don’t trust explanations for why female protagonists have to have convoluted sexy costumes…. because if nothing else it means that they’ve decided they’re comfortable with making that a cornerstone of their brand.

And… I don’t even know what to do with this except cringe.

While Hitman: Absolution got a lot of attention for the attack of the latex fetish nuns, the fetish nuns in question were actually a lot better clad than the female assassin from the previous title.

Eve, from Hitman: Blood Money wandered around in an outfit… can’t even be explained with paint and superglue.  Meanwhile her male colleagues wandered around in bespoke suits (47′s may look boring but it’s bespoke).

She also had the indignity of essentially being the completely incompetent rival assassin who can’t sing but disguises herself as a singer (it’s painful) and trades entirely on her sex appeal to lure you into an ambush. 

To make matters worse: This ridiculous outfit is basically the “uniform” of half the women attending the party. 

What were the men at the party wearing?  Suits.
