I remember a time when gaming actually accepted and sometimes praise sexuality in gaming I mean People referred to Lara Croft as the primere sex symbol in video games like how Elvis was to rock music.
What happened to all that?
We grew up and realized that the "progressive sexuality" was just a bunch of dudes creating personal fap material for a bunch of other dudes, while patting themselves on the back at how "progress" they were being without a clue in the world.
Right...and the new Lara, that you're supposed to want to "keep safe", while simultaneously supposedly an independent character that can take care of herself, is somehow better...boy, that progressive bunch sure evolved to such a great new form, still patting each other on their backs and talking about the downfall of sex symbols in games to replace them with dolls!

I'm not going to stop having fun pointing it out just because you seem to take offense at anyone daring to look at the plot and not turning their brain off just because it has some fantastical elements in it.
And I'm not calling it stupid solely because I think it's stupid. Kill la Kill is stupid, Gurren Lagaan is stupid, Fairy Tail is beyond stupid half the time, so much of Sekirei is stupid, but they're all incredibly enjoyable and I will never regret the time I spend(t) watching them. It's the same with MGS for me. The tech is stupid, the character designs silly, the lore amazing and full of so much bullshit, and the stories so over the top that I just love it to death. But it's still full of stupid and silly things. As you yourself said and as has become the rallying cry for anyone that wants to act like they know what they're talking about(this is not you I don't believe), it's fine to criticize something you like.
I'm not taking offense at it, and I apologize. But there's just so many people pointing at Quiet being an outlier in a series of sexy shots that it's making it hard for me to think they actually know what they're talking about with the series.
She's a stupid design, and there's a million different ways to do her if we take Kojima at his word(personally I still am just going to keep thinking of her as just another fourth wall break with how angry people have gotten over her), but the only difference between this and half the other characters in the series is that Kojima's subtlety meter finally broke after decades of under-use.
