Excuse-O-Rama

This is the same logic as "It doesn't matter if the character's written like this, they were made by a writer, and therefor it's _____ist".

If a character is sexist, that's because the writing is sexist. I'm not seeing how that's a controversial statement.

its not contraversial. its just wrong. a sexist character can be portrayed in many ways that does not include writing or the writer to be a sexist. portraying a character that is sexist means only that - the chracter is sexist. and nothing more.

I just wish Kojima hadn't conjured up all that bullshit about breathing through skin

It's interesting though and very Metal Gear.

Wouldn't be surprised if he came up with the skin-breathing first and then gave it to a woman for extra boobishness.

Anyway, it's not like the men in MGS have a reputation for being fully clothed in baggy clothes. Vamp is shirtless most of the time. Liquid didn't mind going topless in Alaska.

Don't forget the fact that you spend 99% of the series staring at a dude's butt. And not just his butt, but a butt that's in a sneaking suit designed to expertly contour around it.
