Sexy and Sexism are not the same thing?

But looking at it from the developers view they are probably trying to appeal to the male demographic, which has different taste and preferences to the female demographic and therefore the characters would be treated differently as men don't want to constantly see topless men but skantaly clad women.

While far less games are geared towards women than men, the idea that games cannot aim for a particular demographic is detrimental given the particular and differing demands from video games that you will get from men and women.

If they make a MGS game with topless men and women dressed in full commando gear I would be 100% fine with it and applaud Konami for giving the underappreciated female demographic their due.

I agree.  There's nothing wrong with appealing specifically to one demographic even if it offends another.

Lets bring back some of the old character designs that were deemed offensive to specific groups.

For example.

Agree with what? The line "There's nothing wrong with appealing specifically to one demographic even if it offends another." was not even remotely what I said and I would like you to avoid putting words into my mouth in the future as it is incredibly dishonest.

I would never make any statement about offense as it is quite possibly the most subjective thing on the face of the planet.

Given that you claim you were being sarcastic when you said "There's nothing wrong with appealing specifically to one demographic even if it offends another." does this mean you actually believe There's something wrong with appealing to one demographic even if it offends another?

Some people are offended by killing, does that mean that developers should not make games geared towards those who are not?

Some people are offended by gays, does that mean that developers should not makes gamer geared towards those who are not?

Some people (PETA) are offended by hunting in games, does that mean that developers should not make games geared towards those who are not?

Some people are offended by religion is games, does that mean that developers should not make games geared towards those are not?

One of the most pathetic things people have a habit of saying these days is "I'm offended" as though that gives them some sought of right to censor you.

What I actually said is that sexy does not equal sexism in games and that some games can be geared towards a certain gender.

PS: Blackface was done for the express purpose  degrading black people, the bikini in MGS5 was done to make the character look sexy to appeal to men so they would buy figurines.
