Why does it have to cater to you or your wife? Kojima already has an audience and he plays to it. I take it you were fine with Ishmael's ass at the beginning being the center of attention for nearly an hour? Or the Naked Snake camo gear? Or how the MB grunts will respond with "Boss...Harder!" when you grapple and interrogate them?
Did I ever say that he should cater to me? I am expressing
why I have a problem with Quiet's appearance, I am not saying anything about
what should be done with it. No offense to you, but I am getting tired of expressing one viewpoint in threads like this (Why I don't like something) and having others respond to things I never said (like that I am no special case to be catered to).

I wouldn't demand Madden 2016 add guns, cars, or building simulation because I don't like football. Nor would I demand they change the Twilight saga into a futuristic cop action movie because I hate romance flicks. Or say I enjoy the plot of Naked Gun, but it shouldn't have had so many jokes.
You'll forgive me, as a long time Metal Gear Solid-fan, if I feel that borderline-exploitation fanservice is not part of the MGS core package. Some fanservice sure (and that has held true for both genders with characters like Fortune, Sniper Wolf, Vamp, Raiden etc.), inserted in more or less appropriate situations. The difference is that Quiet is not only stripperific, whenever she's seemingly in scene she's moving in a way that's reserved for bedrooms and strip clubs or the camera is glued to her sexual characteristics. Feeling that the exploitation aspect of the fanservice has gone too far is not the same as wanting more guns in Madden, since I am not asking for a core gameplay change.

Play a different game. Kojima's stuff tends to play to camp, tropes, and cheese. He's a mixture of silly and serious, and his games have all been like this. There are a multitude of games out there for you to choose from that will fit yours and your wife's tastes if you can't handle Quiet. Check out Dishonored, or Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Stay away from the MGS series if you don't want blatant fan service of both men and women.
I know what Kojima's games are like, having played them for almost two decades, but thanks for the patronizing tone. I
want to play Metal Gear Solid V. I want to play the last game in a series of games that I've enjoyed immensely and that contains gameplay that fits my taste in games perfectly. Saying that Merrill, Sniper Wolf, Fortune, The Boss, EVA or even the Beauty and the Beast unit are anything like Quiet is to grossly overplay the fanservice of the former or downplay it in the latter.
Besides, it is not that I "can't handle" Quiet. The problem is that her presentation is so fucking juvenile in all its' fan wanking glory that it makes me ashamed to play a game where I regularly have to spend time watching her squirm around like I was feeding her dollar bills in a dimly lit backroom.
