@sunfishfusions submitted (and Ozzie bingo’d):

Super new to Tumblr and my first time submitting anything but I felt like this is something that belongs on this blog (sorry if it’s already been shared)

I was trying to stream some cartoons online and these were the ads on the sidebar. I love how they put the male characters right next to the female ones for ease of comparison. 

Their homepage didn’t really make me feel any better about their character design…

I don’t know about those women, but I really woudn’t want to “come to the defense of Eremos!” without something that might actually… oh… I don’t know…

PROTECT ME FROM LITERALLY ANYTHING.

I think you got those the same way I found Dragon Knigh(t) ads. It’s kinda impressive how many bingo squares can a cropped image score, given the design is generic/awful enough.

Well at least they’re competent enough to promise us “a fantasy realm”, not “fierce battles”. These ladies’ clothes surely can exist only in the realm of fantasy.

The caption “zacięte walki” promises “fierce battles”… Somebody please explain to me what is “fierce” and battle-related about those generic pretty ladies in flowy skirts and impossible boob coverage.

~Ozzie

Well maybe in their world those fashions are considered “fierce”? I mean for this season, until everyone wearing them dies in battle.

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.
  • Would it help if I said I breathe through my skin?
