Ultimately, most things that are offensive are also lazy and unoriginal; because you can’t reach that point of view by looking at the world honestly…You reach that point of view by taking short cuts and by just sort of repeating what someone else told you.

From now on, this is our universal answer to the supposed “creativity” of skin-revealing armor.

“weaponized femininity” more like “how to cater to the male gaze and Western beauty ideals while acting like it’s Totally Subversive”

Apparently, according to all the people who were upset that we dared to call out Hideo Kojima and implied that his use of Quiet in promotional materials was objectification and pandering, you can also act like it’s totally subversive by writing a long back story for the character.

It doesn’t have to be, or really their own back story, or one that the majority of players will even experience – just so long as there’s something there to claim that you “totally humanized and made worthwhile” the character who’s boobs appear in every promo post.

Then it becomes a deep commentary of the “reality of women in these situations”… there being so many women who run around in bikinis on battlefields in reality.

Oh my goddddddd the Ink Master pinup challenge~

“I’ve never heard of a magician pinup. that doesn’t make sense, they wear suits!”

“How am I supposed to make a sexy football player, it’s a male sport!”

Oh my goddddddd how do these people remember to breathe?

Makes you wonder if they possess a creative bone in their body

I guess we found people who are somehow less creative than anyone who draws generic bikini armor.

I’m astounded.
