Comment on TEAM NAKED! by ZombieSandwich
If Quiet was a real person, who could choose her clothes for herself, I'd be much more comfortable with her attire.
The problem I have with it is that - being a fictional character - Quiet's clothes were chosen for her - most likely be a straight, male designer (as most people in the video game industry seem to be)... And I can't help but feel that her near-nakedness is the result.
That said, I haven't played this particular game, so I'm surely at least some important points.

You can also play the main male character as "Naked Snake". In almost every outfit except for 3. The naked option can be found under "naked" when choosing the outfit.
The problem is not that Quiet is naked, the problem is 1. how the camera deals with that 2. that the male protagonist needs no explanation for going around naked, while she needs one.
Leading to the message that = women need a justification to dress how they want while men don't.

It's certainly true that, in real life, women are often made to justify what they choose to wear/not wear. The problem here - in my view - is that Quiet can't pick out her own clothes because she isn't real.
Honestly, the problem doesn't start and end with Quiet, and I don't mean to harp on her... It's not that I don't appreciate how well she, and many video game ladies, are animated. It'd just be nice to see a female character, in a major role, wearing something more substantial for once. Like something a real person might wear say...in combat.

I absolutely agree with that!
The fact that they need to find a justification for her outfit says it all to me.
Her outfit and her body become a commentary.
It is interesting that throughout the game, you can unlock more outfits for her, and when you bonded with her a lot, you can even dress her real uniforms.
I find it interesting that when you compare that to mmorpg's for instance, the more you level up there, the more naked the female characters usually become (like a reward).
In MGSV it's the other way around.
The "reward" seems to be that you can cover her up.
However, this: "Honestly, the problem doesn't start and end with Quiet, and I don't mean to harp on her... It's not that I don't appreciate how well she, and many video game ladies, are animated.

Still stays 200% true!!!

I think "straight males" are not the only ones to like women (naked or not) 
True. XD
