[BULLSHIT] its Necessary for quiet to be naked cause she breaths through her skin

[misteral999]

as far as the title of the thread goes and as every fan of mgsv:pp knows , the reason that kojima gave for quiet being naked through the game is that she breaths and absorbs air and water through her skin, 
ok fine sire 
if anyone played mgsv:pp you would know that the most valuable outfit to craft for quiet is the one she wears at the start of the game before the fire incident ( when she attacks phantom and boss in the hospital in cyprus and which after this incident they use parasite to cure her and she after the cure is naked to breath and absorb water and air through the skin, because somehow parasites that they used to cure her damaged her lungs and maybe some other inner organs)
that outfit is full and quiet seems fully clothed in that , 
so if kojima or anyone who truly believes that utter shit concept 
please explain this : how does quiet continues to breath and absorb the air and water when she is fully clothed in the xo outfit that is craftable for her ??
i definitley believe that kojima just made that bullshit excuse to, you know to use her body and sex appeal as a bussines move 
so if anyone truly believe that nudity is necessary for quiet character, forget about it .
btw this dosent mean the game is bad or i hate quiet absolutley not,
its one of my favorite games all time, and quiet is one of my most favorite characters in video game all time.

Nice to see you hit the ground running with your first post to dive into this topic.

I think we’re all in agreement that the explanation for Quiet is obviously idiotic. Especially given that Quiet is a fictional character and the writer behind her can just come up with any reason for anything. He could also have come up with some special suit that allows her to breathe without having her skin out. You wrote the problem and you wrote the solution, Kojima! A lot of Quiet’s design is weirdly something that’s grown on me-it’s pretty punk with the one glove and combat boots and ripped tights (having just a bikini is a bit much still. Wouldn’t hurt to have some sort of tactical vest and some military shorts or something). But none of it makes sense with the “explanation.” Why cover one arm if you need to breathe through your skin? Sure the tights are ripped which exposes the skin a bit more, but why wear tights at all? She’s designed to look sexy and cool. It was insulting to ever imply otherwise.

As soon as I got the XOF outfit I had her in that the rest of the game. However I don’t think the customisation options are really necessarily an example against Quiet needing to show skin in canon. Venom can wear costumes that make him possess a non-bionic arm. Doesn’t affect that canonically that’s a disability he has. It’s just an option given to the player. And thank God because it makes playing the game in front of people much less awkward during those chopper rides.

i did exactly the same , as soon as i unlocked the xof suit i just put her in that forever, not just because im a girl myself and its just feels unconfortable seeing her in that outfit ( i just keep thinking like if i were in her place i wouldnt felt at ease wearing that in the middle  of a battelfield ), but my 360 and tv are in the main hall so its feels over the moon perverted if someone ( my dad most of the time watches my games and we even play together and mgsv:pp because of its tactical war action gameplay truly interests him and he gives me instructions sometime on how to infilterate enemy camps and use what type of guns and i tell him the story of the game and so..) sees me playing mgsv:pp with quiet in that outfit( especially when boss is in the helicopter and quiet starts to do provocative moves, i just open idroid and try to select the mission as fast as i can to prevent this
but with the xof suit everything is normal

I genuinely think the breathing through skin thing was just shoehorned in after the 'you will regret your actions and deeds' tweet due to the backlash. Kojima is clearly a bit of a  pervert, we've seen scantly dressed women throughout the series as well as a few comments. E.G

• Sniper wolf's cleavage despite it being, what -20/30 degrees in Alaska?
  
• Meryl working out in her undies
  
• The locker posters MGS2, plus Fortune's get up
  
• The Boss' cleavage in MGS3 
  
• Beauty and the Beast unit was more tasteful IMO, but there was the photoshoot thing 
  
• Distracting guards with dirty mags etc
  

I'm sure there's more that I've missed too! None of the outfits are exactly realistic for the scenarios they find themselves in. Sure cleavage is nice to look at but they 'give you no tactical advantage whatsoever'  

These are just some things I - and probably everyone else - has noticed. I think he maybe pushed it a bit too far with Quiet and wanted to create some justification for it when he inevitably got the backlash as time has progressed.

His passion is scanning feet and making movies, the whole video game thing is just a side hustle.

But yeah I do like the idea of him giving the whole “You’ll regret this” thing and then probably staying up for days trying to make up a reason for her to be half naked

i mean the whole japanese culture is full of perverted features, from them building most of their sex symbols and sex fantasies in animes and mangas by the model of : the height and head of a 13 year old, breasts and hips of a 20 year old who got a boob job + bbl , each eye size of a planet. voice of 13 year old and a schoolgirl dress, i mean seriously what the fuck!!!!!! 
kojima posts numerous perverted shit in his x and instagram and people just into the comment section and start kissing the ass. Uhh

in metal gear snake eater big boss supposed to be a mother/icon figure but for no reason at the last mission she open up the cleavage to show the operation marks from her giving birth and then says; this proves im a mother. are you fuckin kiddin me ? how does a cut from below the neck to lower of abdomen indicates birth giving procedures, didnt saw anyone in my life with such a birth mark from post operation. 

he writes some fabulous stories but sometimes you witness some out of the planet perverted shit that makes player think ok am i a pervet for playing this ?!?!?

in this feature he is so like geroge arrr arrrr martin. good story + perverted shit.

Sounds like a nice relationship you’ve got with your dad. He watched you play any other MGS games? Maybe we should have a thread about the worst MGS moments your parents could witness while you’re playing. Glad to have had my PS2 in my room when I played them originally. Dread to think of any sort of adult in my life watching me play during one of the codec calls where Snake and Raiden are implied to be doing some…solo operations on themselves while inside a locker

I think the thing that proves it's bullshit is that while human photosynthesis has been established as canon in the MGS Universe (The End), even an old man who is basically dead manages it while dressed in army fatigues.

I feel sure like I remember Kojima saying not long after either the "you will be ashamed of your words and deeds" thing or release that he designed Quiet like that because he wanted people to cosplay as her more as well helping to sell merchandise/figures of her. Think it says enough about it. I really liked her design with the XOF suit, I think it is actually one of the best combat suits we've seen in the series so it was great getting that. I've been replaying MGS4 recently and honestly think overall that is far worse for sexualisation than V, but that's probably because it's all focused on one character in V. But it's obviously an exceptional case and I feel like MGS4 in particular had sown the seeds for the mess that was Quiet.
