    I think this kind of completely disregards the existence of subjectivity? Different portrayals of women in games are going to come across differently to different players, women included. I know you find this baffling, but some women find Bayo empowering, for example. Others find her sexist and degrading. It depends on the person.

    I remember watching a stream of MGS V from Stefanie Joosten (the model behind Quiet). Her friend was also on there and she complained about how sexist her character is designed, but Joosten dismissed it and said she enjoys the design and thinks it’s cool lol
