Ultimately, I respect women just as much as I do men. I dont consider myself sexist, or think its unreasonable to want hot girls in a game like DoA. Are gay guys sexist for wanting skimpy outfits for the men?
Secondly, I repeat my opinion so that new members, lurkers and more importantly, TN staff, will know there is support for skimpy outfits. This is something that I think some people here are afraid to do.
I've answered all this stuff before.
I didn't find your remark to be sexist,
technically, but I will comment nonetheless. You're welcome.

"I dont consider myself sexist, or think its unreasonable to want hot girls in a game like DoA."
The thing is, they're already here. This statement needs to be amended to say "unreasonable to want scantily-clad, hot girls in a game like DoA". It's not, I suppose. But, that's already here, too. Even mentioning it is kind of like beating a dead horse at this point.

"Are gay guys sexist for wanting skimpy outfits for the men?"
It's more complicated than that. While the comparison seems apt, general consensus (and hard numbers) would state that while the women are swimming (c wut I did thar) in bikinis and other sexy outfits, the men...not so much. There are some outfits here and there, but uniformly...no. Asking for more skimpy outfits for the men would bring "parity" so to speak while asking for more skimpy outfits would push the meter further in the "wrong" direction. This is even more flagrant in a world where many in the hardcore-DOA field want the game to be known for more than sexy women (something that may be at odds with what the devs want, but...eh). It shouldn't matter that much. People want what people want. However, some people may not be thinking about what they themselves personally want, but the "larger" picture as well.

That is at odds with what some others want. Some people would rather TN
never find out. Some people have had enough. Some people think it wouldn't fit the circumstances (we're kind of past that, but...). That plus it just seems like a foregone conclusion that more skimpy outfits (for the women) are probably coming regardless, it's not going to sit well with some for people to keep harping on about it. There are some other things that the game needs after all. Whether it's being usurped by them making swimsuits all the time...well, no one knows that for sure.
And, let's be clear. Your support seems to be for skimpy outfits
for the women only. Not just skimpy outfits.

"This is something that I think some people here are afraid to do."
Orrrrrr, people have had enough and want it to stop. You are going to be
directly at odds with some others here because of your constant call for skimpiness above all else (color scheme, general costume design, badassery-ness, etc.).
All of it is secondary in your eyes. You are making yourself a target by (seemingly) being so absolutist about it. That's what I personally think seems off. It's gotten to the point where some of the things that you want seem ridiculous for a game that supposed to be about beating the crap out of people (once again, we're beyond that, but...).
Now, what you said in that post, to my eyes, wasn't technically "sexist". But, it carries the
air of it because of a. how one sided you always are about it, and b. women (and others) have kind of had it up to "here" at this point about the only important thing to "men" regarding women (especially when it comes to all things media) being sex appeal. I don't think people wanna demonize sexy things completely (that's another bad road), but at this point in time things appear to be off balance in the eyes of the general public. So, anyone that's all like, "WOOOOO BIKINEHS" beyond a certain point is going to
at least get the side eye.
ANYHOO:
I'm moderately excited for PHASE-4. Though assets are being reused, she has enough of her own thing going on that it's acceptable. Dig that power blow.
I'm kind of okay with Decapre, too. Though, I get why people are kind of annoyed. lol
