The time has come!
Because Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain came out this week, we decided to celebrate by finally filling out a bingo card for Quiet, who’s been a BABD regular basically since the game was announced.
And with two bingo-scoring rows she doesn’t disappoint… in a bad way, obviously.
As we always expected, the only thing harder to take seriously than Quiet’s costume is the rhetoric behind it. You know, the über-genius explanation that was going to put non-believers to shame.
Eyup, her official in-story reasons (and the way Hideo Kojima explains them) are so absurd that we’re devoting a second bingo post to them. Stay tuned, as the next post, including wincenwork’s elaboration on the ridiculousness, comes later today!

Here’s a closer look at the Special Forces cover that was in the previous post.
(Cover of Special Forces #4, Image Comics)
According to some notes, this is supposed to be a satire comic.
How about then we compare it to an eerily similar NON-SATIRE comic cover by J. Scott Campbell?

Hint: a responsible satire doesn’t straight-up reproduce the satirized thing, but puts some sort of twist on it. And I don’t mean a torso twist.
Also no, using the Disney font for the author’s credit doesn’t yet make the whole artwork “ironic”.
