As for why nobody brings up the fact that if you beat the game quick enough Samus apears in a bathing suit in the original NES game... maybe because that was like 6 generations ago... and 6 generations ago nobody cared/half naked NES characters looked like naked Legos and one generation off from where most characters were just monocrom blocks anyway.
Also, yeah... having a woman appear in almost no clothes if you beat the game quick enough is sexist. Would you argue that's not the case? What's even thatarguement, that as long as sexist stuff has been happening for decades then it's fine?
That said, based on the actual characterization of Samus in the games, both that and the Heel's are terribly terribly out of place. |
You are confusing sexist with sexy. Some products are designed for men while others are designed for women and some appeal to everybody.
Rather than railing against one currently existing character who has sexy characteristics why not support the female characters you do like and be vocal about it in a positive way.
The idea that its sexist to view women partially as objects of sex would make near every male on the face of the planet (and some women) a sexist. Are you saying that because sexual attraction towards female is a typically unique male desire the market should make no efforts to meet this desire?
It comes down to men and women having some actual differences within society with sexual desire being the most prominent amongst them and pretending that this is not the case and acknowledgement of this in the form of popular media (ie video games) is sexist is in my opinion a reductive way of thinking.
PS: I also agree the heels are out of place to which I would say they are stupid not sexist.
