Bat family pretty boy Richard “Dick” Grayson (aka Nightwing, and sometimes aka Batman) often gets referenced as an example of a sexy man in comics and video games.
I feel that this cover, depicting three figures who are all supposed to be equipped and attired for super acrobatic combat shows why rushing to Nightwing as an example of men are sexaulized too is never a good idea.

Quiet apologists have been by far the most tedious defenders of bikini armor, constantly insisting that there is some sort of great artistic genius at work behind Kojima’s design decisions. It’s always either he’s doing some sort of genius bait and switch (that’s not genius) ploy or somehow the characterization will make up for the costume or (my personal favorite) people just need to spend hundred of hours playing every MGS game to understand the twenty-four minute trailer released to the general public.
No amount of anything is ever going to make up for this, the game hasn’t even been released yet and he’s already releasing fondle dolls. Oh, and since I’ve seen lots of guy’s insisting that the Snake doll will be equally fondleable and objectified – No. No it won’t.
At this point, the kindest thing that can be said has already been said on Twitter:
