And the exploitation continues.

I may have been mean and disrespectful to you guys in the past, I apologize.

As many of you may know, I'm not to keen on the MK females dressing like strippers.

It makes it difficult for me to take them seriously and detracts from the overall presentation of the game IMO.

Kitana's primary is clearly pointing in the right direction but some design changes from concept to game are obvious such as the bottom back half of her attire being see through and exposing her full naked butt...that wasn't in the concept art.

Recently I aired my grievances in a respectful tone to a prominent NRS employee on Twitter hoping he would hear me out and for the team to take the story into design consideration.

Spoilers: (Highlight to reveal)
He told me that the decisions to cover up certain characters up was due to the tone of the story mode, but he told me that I should stay away from some of the alternate outfits for characters like Kitana, saying that one has her "the most naked she's ever been.""confused


So I'm guessing one costume will be practical while others are pornographic? I guess that's what NRS has in mind. I'm not shocked, but I am disappointed.

They want to portray the females characters as strong and empowered but they also insist on them having stripper appropriate attire in their wardrobe for teen boys to beat it to.

Did it ever occur to you that maybe they want to try and please as many people as possible?

I'm guessing it hasn't, which is why you have this weird sense of entitlement that leads you to act like you're the only one who should get what they want.

World doesn't revolve around you. Get over it.

It's not just about what they wear, it's about the models themselves. The models are much more toned down and realistic this time around. Which is fine enough for me. If 1 of the outfits is more revealing than the other, so what? Options are good, as long as there's one that fits the character's personality and how they'd likely present themselves, and their model isn't cookie cutter, it's all good IMO.

Compare Kitana or Cassie to Kitana or Sonya in MK9. Analyze the body and breast size, and physics, as well as their outfits...

You should be content.

Sorry if I like a prick, but get over yourself and deal with it.

Kitana is not dressed like a stripper at all(in this game anyway). Her outfit is a mix of ninja and royalty. And I have seen her Alt. It's not bad or revealing at all.
I honestly don't give a shit if they're dressed like sluts, strippers etc.
Pornographic? Bitch please. ????
Chill.

Okay, This is a fighting game, modesty and practicality have no place in this genre when it comes to character design. I get what you are saying but, this is a genre where half naked people and ridiculous over designed armors and outfits are king.

Otherwise you would have very uninteresting looking characters who no one would really want to pick...you know, like Stryker in MK3.

Oh look everyone, it's once again that guy who can't afford to pay hookers, and who needs to rant about any female characters who he thinks look like hookers.

The hang-ups some people have with prostitutes is hilarious.

Saying they look like strippers or sluts isn't even feminist. That's actually the opposite m8. You're seeing it as exploitation because you think women should dress a certain way if they want to be taken seriously, and that's just wrong. Like, the female characters are given just as much characterization and development as the male characters. I don't want to go in circles about this but I think NRS appreciates all of their characters as characters first, and their costumes come second.

Yeah. That's why it's hard to tell chauvinists and feminazis apart sometimes, when in instances like these, they both shame women who don't look "respectable". They just do it for (barely) different reasons.

People like the OP would probably think the burqa is liberating for women, because then who's gonna lust for them? And if men don't lust at women, then they can't possibly think of raping them, right? Something they just can't help (Sarcasm, of course).

Yep, I can see the OP protesting the ban on burqa, and think it deprives muslim women of their identity, and of their "respectability".
