@zaldar: What's wrong with Dragon Ball or Saturday morning cartoons, or things aimed at 12-year-olds, for that matter? You sound pretty insecure about your choice of entertainment.
Quiet is an object? The camera treats Quiet as an object? The camera has opinions and feelings then? She seems like a character that was attracted to Venom Snake and needed to do photosynthesis because questionable science but fits in world.
I hate that the 2010s marked the return of puritan sentiments to western culture. It seemed like maybe we were finally heading in a direction where female sexuality wasn't considered threatening and that there'd be less shaming of both attractiveness and appreciation for said attractiveness, but here we are.
It's further baffling that Metal Gear is ever brought up in these conversations. It's a series that features characters that might as well be greek statues come to life and is never afraid to show them off or even focus on them, but the second someone has breasts everyone loses their minds. I just can't comprehend the contempt for feminine form that always seems to emerge.
I think you're missing the point of criticizing objectification of women. Quiet is a fictional character created, designed, and written by men with titillation in mind. The lingering camera shots of her nearly bare chest and ass further hammers that home. It's not the same thing as a real woman deciding for herself how much/little skin they want to show, and for what reason. Don't be obtuse and create strawmen.
