I actually had a cool idea for an Orchid costume which is based around the Seattle Mariners which makes sense since Microsoft is located based in Washington.
Give her baseball bats as her weapons, Turn the grenade into a baseball, and her firecat runs across the screen with a hat on its head.
Video games are based in fantasy not reality. If I wanted to develop a game where you play a giant squid with a hat on in the middle of the desert then so what; it doesn’t make any sense but that’s okay. I thought this was made pretty clear when they decided to get a cybernetic raptor a cheerleader skirt.
My Focal point isn’t Orchid, that just seems to be the one everyone else focuses on and so I follow suit. I made a thread over a year ago in which I discuss all the costumes not just Orchid. I’ve been fighting hard to make all characters not just Orchid receive proper retro costume revisions. I would be perfectly content with Orchid’s current retro if it was done right. People continue to presume that I’m bent up on the booty outfit which I’m not…everyone else is the one who are bent on talking about it. The thread creator is the one who brought up sexy outfits not me.
I know exactly what the movement is about. Equal rights for woman to do what men can do. It use to be illegal for men to walk around with their shirts off until the late 30’s as well. I brought this up because society is changing…kids are growing up in a different time where what use to be indecent is now fine. I’m not a parent but hiding your kids from something they will be be exposed to in the real world is weird for me to understand. Sure age gating is involved but using the example of my kids in the room so I don’t want them to see me playing KI is not a good one. The game is rated T-M for a reason…it’s the parents job to control what they see…not the developers job to keep things out of the game because the parent can’t send their kid out of the room.
I really don’t like getting into arguments like this with people because it makes me feel bad; at the end of the day though it’s not up to me. I can only give my opinions on the matter and the rest will be decided my MS and IG.
