Blackface performances were feeding of the spite that some white people held towards black people because of their own notion of superiority. Blackface appealed to this by degrading black people to create a gap enabling some white people to feel superior. And yes of course some people were entertained by it, if no one was then they would have been unable to do so, and therefore I did not feel the need to specifically mention that fact.
And as to your example, I agree with you 100% and think that if anything having to many over sexualized characters not only takes away from the narrative by being over the top but takes away from the impact that sexy characters or scenes can have. But some people like over the top sexy designs more than normal more realistic one's.
Also in regards to your comparison, despite being more clothed do you not appreciate the women in the picture for their objective characteristics? I mean what do know about their peronalities or individuality? What is the difference in appreciating a sexy character who wears more or less clothes? How can you claim to know the MGS5 character have been objectified as you have not been able to play the game and determine if they failed to provide her with characteristics and individuality beyond her design?
I just don't understand why we can no longer appreciate the objective characteristics that people have, without being accused of disregarding their personality?

And the oversexulized character designs like in MGS5 feed on men's feelings of superiority towards women and the believe that men are superior and a woman's looks should be based soley on what men find attractive by giving her ridcuilious pointless clothing that doesn't make sense. See also female armour in fantasy.

This is complete crap. I like "oversexualized" (see mass effect and dragon age females) characters because they're hot, not because of some superioty complex.
Way to white knight and paint with a broad brush.
