I've seen people trying to attack NRS' latest statement about the women being dressed the way they are, saying it's unrealistic for the men to be uncovered and how its hypocritical and makes no sense. Nonsense about how all the men should be in full armor. Don't listen to these lying vipers, they are trying to deceive. Time to destroy their shitty argument with facts and reason(the things these losers claim to love so much):
-Liu Kang and Kung Lao are shaolin monks. They don't wear armor period. Their faith and martial arts prowess IS their armor.
-Johnny Cage is an arrogant asshole, why would he wear protection. And his older self actually DOES wear body armor for protection.
-Scorpion, Subzero and Erron Black clearly wear some form of light body armor
-Jax has his metal arms and a thick military grade leather jacket which is very protective
-Kahn and Kotal Kahn are barbarian styled emperors. Emperors of that kind don't wear armor otherwise they'd look like pussies, especially in Outworld where leaders want to maintain a certain image. Also Shao Kahn is an ancient sorcerer warlord, if anything he'd think armor is for faggots.
-Geras is literally immortal, the fuck would he need armor for?
-Kano has his metal chestplate, also he's an Aussie criminal, a guy like that is gonna fight like a REAL MAN, not wear pussy ass fucking armor like some bitch
-Raiden is a literal GOD, wtf would he wear armor for?
>military grade leather jacket it's literally just a leather jacket you dumbass
Nathaniel Kelly
No, its military grade, like kevlar
Dylan Morris
The fact we’ve come to arguing character design is enough to tell me the titty mongers have won. I’m only playing the game for Kabal and Kotal so I could give less a shit about no boobies
Dylan Gutierrez
Edenians wear fanciful and revealing clothing b cause it's part of their utopian culture. All of the Edenians should be wearing at least more revealing outfits, akin to their MK1-3 looks.
Sonya thankfully has a more athletic outfit which makes a lot more sense for hand to hand than military fatigues.
Cassie and Jacqui are shown to be very tech dependent so I don't hate them being covered up in high tech suits.
Honestly, for me the issues come down to completely changing the Edenians' aesthetic and giving everyone tiny tits, which is just silly. SOME of the females being bombshells would be fine, especially when you consider the males are mostly statuesque, ripped, half naked fighters. Sonya doesn't need her MK9 basketballs but she should at least be as well endowed as her MK3 look.
all the arguments are complete bullshit. they made an artistic choice, and it's their opinion. period. you can justify anything you want in games.
Juan Jenkins
shut the fuck up Boon. you got cucked by a pink haired tranny.
Nathan Collins
Except for his Klassic outfit, which has no shirt at all.
That's kind of the point. Most of the males have, at a minimum, an alt with a completely bare upper body. Yet the women can't have alts with more revealing outfits because they'd be too exposed. It's a stupid excuse.
If you're going to do PC designs, at least be honest in your reasoning.
Juan Russell
tiny tits? the fuck? Did you see Jade? She's got some bigass jubblies.
Elijah Bell
And Skarlet uses her skin to power her blood abilities, so having her skin totally covered is actually detrimental to her.
Oliver Nelson
she got stronger and learned true hemomancy
Evan Howard
>artistic choice Protecting the dignity of virtual women isn't an artistic choice, it's virtue signaling.
Austin Hill
She's easily the most well endowed we've seen and I wouldn't call them "big-ass."
So why do the kunoichi cover up? If I can see Scorpion's pecs, I should be able to see Jade's tits.
Oliver Sullivan
They're not Kunoichi, because they;re not Japanese.
Liam Jones
So ninja aren't ninja either?
They fit into stereotypes of Earth equivalents. Nothing wrong with using common names for them.
Gavin Murphy
>There. Shut this shitty ass argument down HARD.
Counter-argument: why is it still okay to brutally beat up and kill the women in gory nasty ways? Isn't that far worse than admiring their bodies?
Austin Ward
No, because it is showing respect to them as warriors equal in strength and ability to the men. Simply admiring their bodies means they aren't being taken seriously, which is offensive to them as fighters.
Aiden Parker
The girls are ugly get over it
Luke Murphy
>the women dont look like victoria's secret models
oh god no!
Grayson Long
Yeah man, how dare these battle hardened women look like warriors and not pornstars, wtf is this shit?
Logan Taylor
Jade is waifu material and honestly the best girl this generation who is her mocap actor?
Andrew White
No he isn't all those make sense except for maybe Johny Cage.
Owen Moore
But why is it okay to simply admire the male bodies if doing that is so disrespectful?
Cassie is the only decent girl in 11. Jade in MK9 is kino
Logan Jones
If we're going to "realistic and true to actual life" route, women shouldn't even be included in the game because the men would eviscerate them within seconds. They should all move slower, do less damage, and has 30% of the health bar compared to men. But that would hit a little to close to home for the snowflakes. >Unrealistic visuals BAD >Unrealistic biology GOOD
And don't give me that >muh super powers equal the playing field argument. All the characters have that supernatural edge, but the men have the biological edge due to superior speed, agility, strength, reflexes, and intelligence.
Hudson Hughes
No one simply admires the male bodies. You think people pick Kano and sit there pausing the game to see his armpits?
Lincoln Gray
>Jade in MK9 is kino Not with that man face and man shoulders
Grayson Lopez
Using your same dumb logic, you may as well remove every character that isn't Raiden, Shao Kahn, and Scorpion, since the rest are mortal men being put up against a God, ancient godlioke warlord, and a literal evil ghost.
Mason Taylor
Name one player who exclusively mains females aka "waifus" and isn't a total pussy.
Dylan Hill
I get both sides of the argument for one I don't think sexy costumes should be removed or hated but I also don't think they're a requirement for my enjoyment of the game. Maybe if it was a game that sold itself on sex appeal like DOA that would be a diffrent story but for other games it's just a bonus imo. I can see why some anons are mad because of the comment that faggot said but some are just angry because no tits and don't even like the game if 2015 is anything to go by.
Those are all men, so sounds good to me. If the women are going to be ugly, and the game is going to be realistic, then just remove all the useless, ugly women in the first place, keep the characters you mentioned, and add new male characters of similar power levels. Thanks for the great suggestion!
Lincoln Kelly
just an arbitrary decision. if you don't like it don't buy it. you're opinion is as valid as any other.
Dominic Flores
Yes.
Isaac Sanders
anti-waifufag game would be kino
Hunter Jenkins
But using that same logic you can then add goddesses who are just as powerful, causing the same issue you'd complain about before, with there being women fighting.
Ryan Mitchell
I picture it being like MK mixed with DOA and SC, you get to play as MK characters while the japanese waifu characters run around scared as you both beat the shit out of them between fighting each other, then you fatality them.
Cooper Gomez
Actually sounds way better since waifufags wouldn't play it.
Nicholas Hall
>I've seen people trying to attack NRS' latest statement about the women being dressed the way they are Designs can be changed on a whim for any or no reason. Justifying them after the fact has no bearing on the reason they actually made the change.
The problem has nothing to do with hypocrisy in the design of the males, it's to do with the fact that the words "mature and respectful" were unironically used to describe Mortal Kombat. It's a very bizarre disconnect from reality.
Elijah Foster
yes nice argument and all but you believe that children can be exposed to gore and violence but scantily clad women with big breasts will corrupt their minds. you are still an emotional brainlet compared to me
Noah Johnson
yeah now homos and trannies play it instead
Blake Edwards
I love how there's always at least one of these spergs in every thread who is so angry and raging at the very idea of women, real or fictional, doing anything that's not being silent baby factories subservient to men.
Jeremiah Thomas
No, those goddess would still be biologically, spiritually, and divinely inferior. However, if you want to include ugly and useless females, simply introduce different divisions into the game. Women can only fight other women in their "WNBA" division, and men can fight men in their "NBA" division. You can ever have "minor leagues" where the weakest of the females fight each other and the weakest of the males fight each other. After all, this new MK is all about realism according to the devs. I'd hate to see them half-ass it and implement a pandering pseudo-equality into the game instead of actually following through with an ideal they claim to firmly believe in.
Michael Cook
Trannies play as waifus because they think they look just as cute.
Joshua Thomas
No one admires the females either. You think people pause the game to stare at Mileena's cameltoe?
Hunter Ward
trannies always fucking main females homos like SonicFox are infamous for maining fagshit like Marie Rose unless all the females are trash and they need to pick a top tier
waifufags are always degenerate
Carson Rivera
The true last nail in the coffin for me will be if they will cover up Mileena too, if she's in the base roster or dlc. Being sexy and using her sexuality of part of her fucking character
>You think people pause the game to stare at Mileena's cameltoe? floods of r34 would say otherwise There is simply way more r34 of Mileena or some gay FateGo crossdressing little anime boy than there are of normal MK men.
Charles Peterson
But the Hindu Goddess Kali is more powerful than the male gods, so if anything she'd be top tier and own all the male gods.
>No, those goddess would still be biologically, spiritually, and divinely inferior. Actually there are many female goddesess stronger than some of the male Gods Anut Bast Athena Bellona Freya Are good examples
Kevin Turner
tl;dr
Still not buying this game until the "Game of the Month" edition is on sale in a few years.
Matthew Morris
>kiss my butt I'd plant my lips directly on her pucker, then give it a french kiss.
Xavier Price
Hindu is a shit-tier religion, literally. It's follower actually shit in the corners of their homes and in the streets. Why the fuck would anybody take anything about that society seriously? In Christianity, the religion of the civilized and superior sect of humanity, there is only 1 male God who is more powerful than all, and he had a divine son, not a daughter.
Kevin Martinez
>implying Hindu gods wouldn't destroy the Christian God in a fight
Christian God is Heihachi, Hindu Gods are Devil Kazuya
Elijah Hughes
Before they worry about how skimpy their female characters are, they need to worry about how UGLY THEY ARE. The more shit they wear the less of their ugly ass models we have to see, so I for one am perfectly happy with this development.
Charles Williams
Yeah, that civilization's twisted idealogies led to the complete collapse of its empire and eradication of its religion 1000+ years ago. Try to stay relevant sweetie, after all the favorite phrase of your kind is "omg it's 2019!"
Jonathan Carter
They already ruined her face.
Caleb Sanchez
Most of the Hiddu Gods are Jack-5 tbqh
Jacob Parker
I never said her alternative skins were hot. Besides the braids in Deception.
Michael Reed
The whole appeal of MK was edgy, gore and sex, wtf are they thinking?
Oliver Ward
Women should be covered up, showing skin is Haram.
name one person who plays fighting games seriously and isn't a pussy
Jordan Lee
Imagine being this angry at women doing anything.
William Evans
Dude for the times Sonya actually WAS risque and edgy. Not many games featured main characters with big boobies in skin tight leotards. Remember, the early 90's were a very different time. Back then Sonya was wearing what was considered a very revealing outfit. Unlike today, it wasn't standard for celebs and normies to walk around dressed like literal whores. Sonya was "scandalous" at the time. And that's without even mentioning pic related.
People are just being shitty and mad because they're being denied fap bait, just ignore teenagers most of the designs are pretty cool
Landon Jones
Yep, this was the time period when devs began to realize that sex sells when paired with legitimately good and innovative games. When they didn't give a shit about pandering to radicalized leftists who spend their entire miserable existence going out of their way to find things to be offended by, even if they never actually engage with said things. Now times have changed, studios are going bankrupt, and thousands are being laid off. They have nobody to blame but themselves.
Sebastian Lee
Islamic games?
Nicholas Powell
>Yep, this was the time period when devs began to realize that sex sells when paired with legitimately good and innovative games. Fatal Fury didn't sell well though? It's part of the reason they had to push them all together into KOF.
Connor Hall
Nah, some of the designs are bad but not because MUH TITTIES WAAAAH. They're just bland. Jade outfit is alright, but Skarlet looks like some capeshit character. Jacqui has the most generic design I've ever seen in a fighting game, Geras is pretty dull as well.
Jacob Howard
And KOF went on to be a successful franchise for decades.
Leo Price
I just don't get the skin-tight material +flowing, concealing overwear design choice for the women. It's better to be naked than wearing tights because they simply won't breath well and cause unneeded friction at the joints. But skin tight clothing is also sexy -- maybe they are going for a sexy design? Clearly not because all the sashes and robes and other shit covers it up. It's also something that would get in the way for a fight. They just look like Westernized muslims wearing leggings with their burkas. The Edinian designs are just bad.
Justin Jenkins
I can show you floods of yoai mk rule 34
Sebastian Cooper
Even if you grieve now, nothing changes. This is because a Westerner gave justice to a PC. Westerners regret after the brake breaks. The Westerners are already pushed with the broken brakes and castrated.
Just make up bullshit reasons for why the women are naked as well dude. You can do that. But you won't, because it doesn't suit your views. Also, way to go using "pussy" as a derogatory term, implying the women are weak for wearing more. No socialjustice brownie points for you.
But yes, after all the mental gymnastics and hamster logic, at the end of the day, the men are half naked/showing more skin while the women are covered up. Hypocrites, but that's expected by now since it's coming from whatever soia filled hole this champ crawled out of.
Go on about how unrealistic the men's physiques are will you? Start bitching about how roided up they look and push to make their looks natural, like they did for the women. I also want to see all the men covered up, their arms also because my arms aren't as bi- i mean it's objectifying and misandristic to expect the average man to look like that.
I never really cared about the outfits at all, and I've been a hardcore fan since MK2. None of the characters I main were never female, so I disregarded them. I really don't see it as a big deal since MK has been trying to go back to its roots using by having proportionally correct people instead of the horror show that was the 3D Era games. Even then, I really doubt that waifufags bring the much money to the series since DoA, a game centered around waifu faggotry, has never sold well.
Aaron Hall
>I praise censorship because I hate seeing women in anything
Aaron Morris
Why can't there be women who have faith and martial arts prowess be their armor? Why can't there be arrogant asshole women who wouldn't wear protection? Why can't there be barbarian women who don't wear armor because they'd look like pussies in their culture? Why can't there be literal GODDESSES that don't need armor?
I know this is bait, but your sawdust brain needs to shut the fuck up.
>that kid who said that Sindel has a rape fatality
Oliver Ward
Quit buying Jap games if you hate censorship. Every Jap game censorship violence, some even patch it out of already released games. DOA6 removed close-ups of Marie Rose, Nico, and Honoka being punched in the face
But marie and honoka deserve being punched in the face the most
Aaron Perry
That's Muslim gaming to you
Wyatt Hernandez
This is a discrimination against men. A man is foolish as a metamorphosis to expose the skin
Jose Baker
>Every Jap game censorship violence
Not having obnoxious levels of gore doesn't equal censorship.
Sebastian Wilson
Did you not read the last part of his post where DoA6 censored close-up attacks on only 3 characters?
Adrian Jenkins
It does when it was supposed to be in the game
Jason Hall

Charles Smith

Thomas Morgan
That DOA6 sucks? Yeah I'd love for an easy 3D fighter to be good to get people to play. KT sucks though
Adam Thomas
imagine hating titties
Nicholas Ramirez
imagine being falsely accused of rape imagine your favorite hobby being a safe place so you can't enjoy titties imagine having your dating pool only being loud, annoying girls
Shitposting aside, this is blatant sexist puritanism. All women must be covered up with small breasts or else they're unrealistic whores. Never mind that women liked the designs enough to cosplay them. Never mind that female players might find sexy and strong characters to be a power fantasy. It's all about how men find them attractive and that's shameful and makes the character a slut who must be changed
Henry Young
Allow me to play devil's advocate for a moment.
If they're going for a realistic design approach, shirtless males is fine. Men fight without shirts on all the time. Women on the other hand, have titties. Titties bounce around when they fight or run or jump. Therefore, if NRS were following the realistic design philosophy, their tits would need to be bound or restrained, and thus wouldn't be a double standard.
>imagine being falsely accused of rape I sincerely hope it happens to you someday soon
Or, better yet, that you get raped, and no one believes you and/or cares
Luis Turner
So 2B having an exposed anus rim isn't an artistic choice either? It's perversion.

If it was realistic they would be wearing less to be able to move more freely. Female MMA fighters aren't fully covered up.
Adrian Scott
Cassie, Kitana, Sonya, and Scarlet all seem to have costumes that give them free range of movement. I don't see the argument for bikini tops, though I would love some exposed thighs and buttcheeks.
Benjamin Perry
I like Kitana, Jade, and Skarlets new outfits,. Is that bad?
Sebastian Butler

Jace Sanders

Christian Perry
How about having them just to have them? No matter what these people say women in skimpy clothes is not evil, disrespectful, immature, etc. Especially when these women can be brutally beaten up and killed in gory ways.
Jacob Jenkins
The current 8gag backlash just makes people not want to give skimpy clothes. I doubt the MK crew even believes waifufags will even buy MK because most waifufags are weebs who hate gore and western games, especially western games in direct competition with Jap games.
William Baker
>How about having them just to have them? Because the art design team doesn't want them. I understand even if I don't like it. It's not like fanservice is a necessity to Mortal Kombat's identity.
Juan Garcia
Sorry, I disagree with his stated reasons. Liking women is not "immature and disrespectful", and these fictional nonexistent women wearing sexy clothes that are still more modest than what you'd see at the beach or pool on any given day have absolutely no affect on the real world. It's 100% virtue signaling and trying to look "mature".
Carter Torres

Alexander Moore
>these fictional nonexistent women wearing sexy clothes that are still more modest than what you'd see at the beach or pool on any given day Nigga wut
I feel like no one would have really minded if the designer had kept his mouth shut.
Leo Stewart
>"immature and disrespectful" You're misquoting him. He didn't state they were being immature or disrespectful before, just that in 11 they will be MORE mature and MORE respectful designs. All you need to do is look at MKX instead of MK9 to realize they've already made that change before. There's a difference to be had that isn't just semantic.
That's splitting hairs to a micron degree. It's still a change done because of SJW virtue signaling, or do the words "mature" and "respectful" not clue you in? And again it's blatant hypocrisy to say you're covering up the women out of respect and maturity while you're at the same time allowing these women to be brutally beaten to a bloody mess and horrifically slain in gory ways.
Michael Nelson
>That's more modest than these. maybe if you're dumb, Mileenas outfit is literally digging in her ass-crack and vagina
Easton Barnes
Just like many bikini designs in the real world do. You have heard of thongs and G-strings, right?
Michael Morris
>Implying they can destroy perfection Her cloak also got shorter
>mature and respectful CHARACTER DESIGNS, not gameplay. It's an artist of said designs saying this, not Ed Boon.
Jace Powell
youtu.be/83nMi9xUies >Then why do so many women wear them at the beach? They don't, some women do wear those BIKINIS at the beach but this is like asking why can't Jade wear armor when most women that had to fight to the death wore armor
Adam Long
Why do the men all have topless armorless options while the women don't have skimpy options? Why would people who need to be fast and agile wear heavy armor? Why does this game need to be 100% realistic? Also for thousands of years real-life people have fought each other in rags and completely nude.
Juan Wilson
>while the women don't have skimpy options? We don't know that to be the case yet.
Ethan Rogers
You really think the guy who said it's immature and disrespectful to design game women in sexy clothes will design skimpy alt outfits for the women?
Jackson Butler
>Why do the men all have topless armorless options while the women don't have skimpy options? Well Johnny is egotistical and it makes sense for him in his alt and Barakas alt is a tribal outfit, Gears is a Cyborg so clothes are useless and Kano is a Australian >Why would people who need to be fast and agile wear heavy armor? Jade isn't wearing heavy armor she's wearing light armor there's a diffrence >Why does this game need to be 100% realistic? We were just arguing that real women dress in Bikinis and thongs weren't we? >Also for thousands of years real-life people have fought each other in rags and completely nude. And thousands of years they did the opposite. Mileena is the only one that shouldn't be covered because that wouldn't make sense
Asher Ramirez
Yes. Especially since that stuff can be monetized. All you gotta do is look at how SFV handled costumes.
Joshua Howard
You're really twisting yourself into knots to defend SJW virtue signaling censorship.
Henry Carter
SFV also had its women in skimpy sexy outfits from the beginning.
Wyatt Allen
Character designs of characters in Mortal Kombat. Why would you want the character designs to be different from the rest of the game?
Jose Sanders
Don't know why I feel like starting up my Genesis and play MK3
Levi Wright
I'm not defending anything you asked me questions and I answered them. Also how can I be SJW if I say Mileena needs to have sexual undertones in her outfit? No one else needs it besides her since it's apart of her core character.
MK was never sexy. Even the sexy costumes were bad. Y’all are weirdos, even more so that the weebs.
Nathaniel Richardson
Honestly guys, we gotta protect the dignity of virtual polygon-based women. They're about to be smashed into pieces and get torn apart in ways that make ISIS executioners blush, and we have to make sure their decency isn't exposed when that happens.
I stopped giving a shit about MKX after seeing they're going SFIII: New Generations route
Joshua Jones
I wonder why the whole world didn't organize yet to completly genocide americans. Fucking subhumans without any honor and dignity. Literally destroy everything they touch and turn it to shit. I dont mind Asians,African Blacks, Latinos etc. but americans are truly fucking subhumans and the whole world would be a lot better if this whole country and people in it would cease to exist, thats a fact
Levi Cruz
>MK11 beta has been funner than the buggy MK9 >somehow I'm supposed to listen to faggots crying about identity politicshit that polished games with smart designs and coding aren't worth the time to play Naw, after I take a fat shit I'm going back to playing
This. MK's sex appeal was never gratuitous until MK9, and everybody recognized what a huge mistake that was, for making all the women look like big chinned muscley dudes with implants. Now those are suddenly being championed as the peak of MK's design? Fuck off. Stop injecting politics into games.
Yeah dude, videogames have grown up now. You know the wacky B-Movie splatterfest about kung-fu people fighting radical movie stars and invisible reptile men? Gotta be done with grace and respect, as you would expect from a mature work of art such as fucking MK11
exactly. a woman wouldn't show that much skin when fighting for her life. only men would.
Evan Sullivan
Just stop the argument. Clearly MK fags don't give a shit, so why bring it up? You can't attack every example of censorship and expect to be taken seriously, you have to choose your battles. And this battle just isn't worth fighting, doing so only promotes the game
What censorship? This isn't even a case of self-censorship. It's an artistic decision, and in that respect you are free to criticize the designs being shit.
t. never played literally every other MK that wasn't on the PS2
Wyatt Fisher
I swear I saw this exact post yesterday You talking shit about Alex?
Ryder Turner
It's pretty obviously self-censorship. We all saw what the DOA dev tried to pull, we know AAA devs are aware of SJW trends. Regardless, MK has always had shit graphics. If you really cared about that, the sex appeal wouldn't be anywhere close to #1 on your list of complaints.
Lucas Rogers
We all arguing here about women in burkas and shit, but no one's stopped to ask the most important question: Shaolin Monks 2 when? FUCKING WHEN?
>It's pretty obviously self-censorship. But wouldn't self-censorship mean they took something out the game that was in previously like SFV did?
Levi Mitchell
Fucking This, I still didn't beat Shao Kahn

Jordan Allen
I would Like Reptile and Ermac instead or Noob and Noob

I see I'm being dragged into something stupid. This isn't even my argument, fuck off. Fine, they made the oh so wise decision to cover up the boobies cause they're big bois
Juan Walker
Your argument that it's "self-censorship" has no basis.
Michael Gutierrez
That's fine, it wasn't my point
Christopher Evans
but there was censorship on injustice 2 user , so is not crazy to assume that the same applies for Mk 11
That's just being pedantic. When does it become censorship? When you say no to someone's thought? when it's on paper and then you say no? When it's a 3D model and then you say no? When you import the 3D model into the game, and then you say no? When you show off the 3D model and then say no? Where's the line where it becomes censorship, there isn't one. You made the decision to say no to something you had no problem doing in the past because you know it would offend someone, that's self-censorship
Joshua Sullivan
I'm sure the fighting game known for being the bloodiest, where every hit you perform against an opponent sprays blood everywhere, is gonna get on ESPN because they covered some tiddies

What the fuck are you talking about? Why do you fucking fags alwsys assume that we thinking that making dozens of threads a day to A BLOO BLOO BLOO BLOO about some dumbass detail nobody else cares about is white knighting for nonexistent people? Do you know how many active threads there were yesterday's evening? 5 fucking threads at the same fucking time. One of them being an ACTUAL fucking PETITION for NRS to return their females to stripper tier. I mean HOW MUCH do you fucking care about virtual titties? Yea Forumsirgins keep taking this noble, logical stance about their outrage, but when every fucking thread about mk11 is about the titties and some faggot makes an actual fucking petition to ask for titties to be back, how are people supposed to not think "Oh there goes the incel virgins again. Boon, take a screencap of this and make fun of them on twitter." No matter what change is made to female aesthetics in videogames, if it's not to increase proportions, make it easier for porn artist to mass produce fanart to shove down your face or make sexy costume, you can be damn certain a bunch of Yea Forumsirgins are going to be making threads after threads making themselves look like utter fucking morons in front of all the internet. No matter what argument is made YOU CANNOT FUCKING WIN! No matter what logical stance you take fir sexualization you will not look like anything else than a perverted crerp. Stop fucking shooting yourselves in the foot and make us all look like a bunch of fucking creeps at the same time. Stop flooding the fucking board with your breast obsession. Nobody fucking cares and you won't change shit with yoyr bitching and petitions. It's just fucking annoying.
Brandon Edwards
I don't see why this is a big deal. American society is oversexualized as it is. Go on any college campus you will see girls wear leggings and yoga pants and other things. I don't understand why they are scared to have half naked women. It isn't a big deal but it is very stupid to me.
Noah Ortiz
that wall of text i dont give a shit who side you are on im not reading any of it
NetherRealm is obviously gonna have at least a few guest characters, right? Who do you see them using? I was thinking that they've pretty much tapped out the horror market.
>Reptile and Ermac Great taste >Noob and Noob Bad taste it should be smoke and noob with smoke as the leader

Yeah they should come right out and say "Because the MK9 females looked like ugly skanks with fake tits and we don't want to do that anymore"

Chase Kelly
>Kahn and Kotal Kahn are barbarian styled emperors. Emperors of that kind don't wear armor otherwise they'd look like pussies This is the lamest excuse I've ever heard to have half naked men in a game where girls are so covered that some of them like Skarlet are literally covered from head to toe except face and hands Not every girl needs a bikini, but justifying men fighting around half naked by saying that showing their body shows how strong they are is a terrible double standard Skarlet fighting in a thong with jiggling D cups would cause a crazy shitstorm but nobody bats an eye on the men
I still don't understand why girls being half naked is evil sexualization and guys looking half naked is okay because it's a power fantasy

Maybe this has nothing to do with a decision made at a marketing level, but when I was a ternager I would never draw a girl without making her as sexy and outrageous as possible. As I grew up I changed my focus on other things than sexually arousing details. Did I self-censor or did I just become more mature? I know I'm gonna piss someone off by saying this and someone is undoubtedly gonna call me a low test cuck since apparently not being addicted to porn and porn aesthetics makes you low test, but this argument is stupid in itself.
That being said, I get it's NRS we are talking about and THEY ARE being hypocritical about their decision. I get that, but I don't think Yea Forumsirgins are seeing the big picture. It looks like you're thinking they are doing this to please the SJW and spite the incels when it's very obvious why they do this. It's not about progressive politics, it's about clumsy incompetent PR marketing. When a decision like that is made you can be damn sure some fucking out of touch PR official is behind it "Oh Jeff, I've bern spending some time on twitter and noticed a growing trend against sexualization. There is business to be made there Jeff maybe we should jump on the bandwagon when it is just leaving the station Jeff!" Then hire some "progressive" spokeperson with colored hair and you got your marketing strategy. Of course it's a dumbass strategy because western vidya PR marketers are fucking retarded. So Yea Forums is just barking up the wrong tree once again, missing the picture and MK11 will still find its audience which has always bought MK mostly for the story and gore and titties as an afterthought. Aside from faggots on Yea Forums I have heard 0 actual MK fans complain about that because they are hype about violent combat and movie Shang Tsung.
Ethan Reyes
But that's completely wrong unless you're only talking about videogames TV shows movies books and comics has tons of sexual themes over here
Jack Sanders
MK9 is GOAT designs. titsnass or not. it gives the arcadey feel the game is known for. not some realistic wanna be IRL serious trash
Jace Scott
Who is this irrelevant tramp and why should I care about her opinion?
Owen Gonzalez
Fucking really? Holy shit I now have to buy that crap
Is it any good?
Logan Edwards
no the real reason is angry woman bitched and its been changed to appease them. Even though woman wont buy this game regardless
they do it everytime because woman dont like guys having fun without them.
dont try to jusitfy this shit, theres a reason why japan isnt cucked they dont give a shit what their woman have to say
Charles Johnson
You're not fooling anyone europoster.
If you were American you'd know how fucking retarded the MPAA, ESRB, and other ratings systems are with anything related to sex or nudity. Surely you're aware of the infamous Hannibal case where the Network wouldnt allow a naked ass on a flayed mangled corpse on TV so they filled the ass with a large streaming trail of blood and it was approved.
Isaac White
i can't believe people are praising this game for LITERALLY slut shaming the female fighters. so now it's disrespectful for a woman to show some skin or have big boobs? thanks fucking trump for allowing this shit back into our culture.
Nolan Nguyen
I can bet hard cash that either WB or Boon idiotically hired a feminist group to oversee it. I don't understand how Boon did a 180 so soon
It's pretty jank but the gameplay is solid. Lots of different killers and abilities to choose from.
Carson Ortiz
You see how much the game is being talked about here because of the censorship. Are the PR managers after the SJW trend, or are they after the right wing backlash? Either way, it's a win-win
Jaxon Watson
Except for Shao kahn, Goro, Kintaro, Reptile, Sheeva, Baraka, Liu Kang, Scorpion, Kitana, Cyber Sub Zero, Nightwolf, Smoke, Sonya, Kano
A lot of designs either looked better in X, 11 or Older Games
Blake Jones
Nigger, when you are that obviously uneducated, it's better to just shut the fuck up.
Henry Mitchell
user please, Mileena obviously has a pornstar body and her outfit clearly highlights male fantasy in MK9 and there's nothing wrong with that
What I've learned from Boon and other devs that think like him is that women who show skin are not to be taken seriously and are simply immature by their very nature. I agree, but let's not pretend that that only exists in the videogame world, women that dress like skanks in real life don't deserve any respect either. Boon and those other guys need to agree with that too if they want their point of view to be taken seriously, if they don't' think it's true for real women then on what basis is it true for fictional characters?
I love how trannies think that this is anargument. Female characters are all warriors too but its unrealistic for them to be dressed in the old 90s get ups. Quit being hypocrites
>Calls ugly men hunks For shit to be really equal you would get MK9 girls and Baraka in a gstring thong
With his junk on prominent display and bouncing mid match
Oliver Price
You have a game that for over two decades has made money by being offensive and courting controversy. It has pandered to a crowd that wanted to see tits with blood on them across like 15ish titles. Now they want to get all socially conscious? I guess next Larry Flynt is going to start making heart warming feminist documentaries. There must be a ton of money in this flag waving crap.
>It has pandered to a crowd that wanted to see tits with blood on them across like 15ish titles. But MK9 wasn't even close to bwing the best selling MK game and Armageddon has sexy outfits and was one of the worst in the series
Jaxson Jenkins
Not thinking some chick at netherrealms s complained which is causing this
alright dude, sure.
Ryan Phillips
All swimsuits and spandex. Back in the 90s that was considered hot. In fact in 94 me and my friends dressed up as the cast for mortal kombat for halloween and the girl in out group that did sonya got sent home to change even though that outfit would be considered modest today.
Ryan Brown
its just my opinion but i get ya. i dunno, just stupid to me they want these games to be taken so damn seriously
Hunter Phillips
>Works of fiction >Unrealistic I'll tell you what's unrealistic 4 small bread ovens can burn 24/7 hotter than a modern furnace to incinerate over 6,000,000 human remains within 4 years but we can't get a 3d titty game?
>mature and respectful >in a game about tearing your enemy in half then using their spine as a jump rope
YA OK
Brandon Robinson
>hairy boy Kano with his cum-catcher moustache and tendency for exhibitionist pissing >bounding around in a tiny thong that places a lot of emphasis the size of his bulge
Why must you put these notions into my head, user? To break my heart?
Jordan Butler
>Samurai couldn't respect their Opponents because they were trying to kill them.
Nathan Murphy
>Back in the 90s MK1 Sonya was considered hot You're stupid if you believe this, even back then she was needed for diversity and she looked like a Soccer Mom even back then
Jonathan Nelson
Wtf mk women are looking post mastectomy.
Lincoln Hill
>the same retard posts jade altered costume >jade is still more covered tham most characters in anons pic So you are retarded
Caleb Cooper
11 is at least more goofier than X
To get you off your ass and commissioning porn
MK needs some damn porn that isnt shitty SFM models done by mexicans
Jose Barnes
>every other mk that wasnt on the ps2 You mean like 3? And the one that trannies love to use as an argument is allways 9. Mk 1 to 3 have the girls in sey outfits, ps2 era too.
Evan Lewis
Bitch i was in highschool when MK came out. She was jerk bait.
Henry Howard
All of those look like shit lmao
Caleb Nguyen
Imagine being this comfy in society and still claiming to be oppresed I'm just glad homos are actual minorities. The chance of you finding someone that can stand the sight of you (including the mirror) is slim to none. And on the off chance you do find someone, there's a higher than average chance they're infested with transmittable diseases or an actual pedophile.
But hey, at least there's vidya.
Jaxson Brown
>We should allow women to go out naked without fear of rape, women just aren't responsible >Oy vey anime tiddies shut this down and apologize!
Luis Price
>Women are afraid to die They're in the wrong game then
Evan Ramirez
Ironic shitposting is also shitposting. this is what happens when you stop reminding people of this. The ammount of threads and posters doing this "lets go along with the journo narrative to get (you)s" is getting fucking annoying. counter circlejerking is the same as circlejerking. Ironic shitposting is shitposting.
heres your fucking (you)
John Young
If I can get my mostly nude tit jiggle back, you can have speedo dong jiggle. Deal, faglord?
Aaron Campbell
MK11 is a fun game with amazing netcode game design>coding>>>>>identity politics MK11 deserves to get 10 million sales for the amount of polish they put in the game. It's arguably the best fighter this gen and GOTY for me already.
No she wasn't, everyone knew she was uggo as fuck thats why everone forgot about her when Kerri replaced her in MK3
Daniel Roberts
>wearing sexy clothes that are still more modest than what you'd see at the beach no way fag
Robert Sullivan
Have fun being with someone only interested in your money and nothing else
Elijah Lee
No. The butthurt over this is too amusing
Julian Turner
>false equivalence of comparing tits to dick A prominent bulge would be comparable to a prominent cameltoe not breasts. Why do you fags do this? As for the guys plenty of them do have loincloths, not far off from a gstring, but guys don't wear gstrings to begin with, so of course you are not going to get g-strings on them and you know this so you set up this standard that will not be met specifically to bitch that things are not equal, when they are perfectly equivalent.
Nolan Cox
Because pecs are not sexual oh sure they're sexual to some people but they're about as niche as feet
Aiden Torres
>Honestly, for me the issues come down to completely changing the Edenians' aesthetic and giving everyone tiny tits, which is just silly. SOME of the females being bombshells would be fine, especially when you consider the males are mostly statuesque, ripped, half naked fighters. Sonya doesn't need her MK9 basketballs but she should at least be as well endowed as her MK3 look.
Athletes don't have big tits. Post any female boxer or full-contact fighter with big tits. Magic vampire girls, I admittedly don't have an arguement for...
Jeremiah Barnes
how you faggot, I will pirate this game and enjoy it without a single dollar going to basedREALS!!! fuck you Ed Boon!
If you like them then yeah but there's a reason you're not being demanded to wear a shirt at the beach compared to a topless woman
Oliver Foster
Bullshit. Barafags, yaoi fangirls, and the fair number of chicks into seeing fit guys shirtless prove you wrong. None of these women are boxers or professional fighters. They're military and magical aliens.
Landon Cook
Fit guys. Not chubby guys or old guys or skinny guys.
They have to be specific to be desirable and even thats not something everybody is going to drool over.
Which makes them niche motherfucker
Cooper Jones
this picture is the soul of mortal kombat. FUCK you ed boon. you sellout piece of shit
Hot chicks in video games are a good thing. By not having attractive women in your video game, you are making it less appealing. Anybody is allowed to do this, but they are actively choosing to sell less copies for useless SJW internet points.
Aiden Peterson
Is not.
Fatalities are the soul of Mortal Kombat.
Aaron Price
>Pecs are as niche as feet Dude. Come on Shirtless men are as widespread as cleavage. They're the most basic form of sexyness for their specific genders, how can you not know this?
Joseph Jackson
>pecs are not sexual, they're just sexual to the millions of people who find well-sculpted torsos attractive So they *are* sexual then?
A topless woman is not the same as a topless man and you know it
Logan Moore
Have you ever been told to cover your pecs while swimming user? How bout during basketball? Or working out?
Arguing that tits and pecs are the same is just you trying to make your demand for tits sound reasonable when the argument you're making is fucking stupid.
