Bayonetta is a pretty good example. A character designed by a woman and a feminist and guess what? She doesn’t look any different than other “misogynistic” female characters.

You should prove people right less.

Weren’t you asking about female characters people would freak out if you made gender neutral?

Translation: I don’t have a logical response so I’ll double down on the insults.

There are plenty of examples of men wearing ridiculous armor designed for looks. Granted, not as much as women, but far more than people talk about.

*facepalm*

It’s mentioned several times in the games and it’s a reference to Ripley’s relationship with Newt.

I did give you a direct answer, it just wasnt the one you wanted.

No. I’m saying that people are making characters sexy because that’s what people do.

I did. But if you need another, Bayonetta.

No counterpoint, just dismissive insults. Got it.

If you’re making a guy with impossible muscles, perfect features, and impractical armor that shows it all off then you’re doing it on purpose.

Someone not agreeing with you is not misogyny. But thanks for so succinctly prooving my point about being self righteous.

Directly? In the ending. Indirectly? Her Ripley inspired motherly relationship with the baby metroid that defines the entire story.

Where did I say I’m angry?

As a gay man, I could ramble on endlessly about countless sexy male video game characters.

You’re including several false premises in your question. But even so, if you removed all references to Samus being female, Tumblr would be enraged.

Probably true, but you could make the same argument about male characters that are ridiculously sexy.

I know for a fact that Kotaku has plenty of release announcements for indie games in their tips mailbox, maybe they could try reporting on a game.
