I don't want to hear another fucking peep out of a G*mer nerd that women in games aren't hot anymore or that Marvel is "woke".

I know at least 4 ladies who are more hyped than any guy about her addition to the game.

I ain't playin' that shit though, Marvel too played out for me.

Superficially it's not great. A few observations though:

  • This costume is no more revealing than things Emma Frost wears in the comics, it's basically her thing. Not that this excuses things (comics are misogynistic AF), but it's not like they took a more modest character and changed her (like Kitty Pryde in a skimpy outfit etc).

  • This is an unlockable outfit her default is way more concealing than anything she has ever worn in comics (and I remember that pissing Chuds off a while back). Still pretty objectifying

  • The Art Director for Marvel Rivals is Dino Ma (far left on picture I confirmed with other sources as the naming order is wrong in the tweet), now I don't know for certain Dino designed Emma Frost, but it's a small studio. I don't know Dino's gender or sexuality and shouldn't speculate. But they have queer vibes from my impressions. I also from years of hanging out on NSFW tumblr and twitter have a good sense for when an artist is drawing objectification (cishet) versus objectification (queer) and this tickles my six sense slightly, entirely vibes based towards the latter.

  • There's an online meme that Emma Frost is trans (positive) that some writers have leant into over the years. From memory there's a story about how a young Brunette Emma Frost has a blonde brother named Christian who is sent to a conversion camp for being gay and is never seen again. Both sort of connecting the mutant as a metaphor for queerness, but also a theory is that Emma was that blonde boy and wasn't gay but actually straight trans woman (the Brunette Emma being a sibling or an invented person). A trans woman dressing like this would be "Mother" as the kids say

  • Uh...she could make me worse.

Every single woman in Marvel looks exactly the fucking same outside of Xmen.

The chuds were mad that her face looked too manly. I SEENT it

"Face too manly, haircut too woke, looked too old, breasts too small" etc. I remember they hated this.

Any characters from Chris Claremont's run are going to be the horniest shit you've ever seen. Emma Frost literally debuted in white BDSM gear.

The enlightened gooners of my friend group think she was sexualized incorrectly. They couldve just given her a fur cape to keep with tank form, without changing her figure.
