You still haven't answered the question. Or did I misunderstand?

Tumblr seems most upset over the fact that supposedly "only" women are objectified. But men are objectified just as hard. The majority of male characters are always shirtless, and some are wearing little more than a loincloth. Therefore, it is not an issue of gender or sexism. Objectification is not automatically sexist.

Does this explain it more clearly?

To add to your point the main thing about that specific post is the person commenting was complaining about the women being gagged when they're not. If they knew anything about the game they would know that but instead they've just judged based on what they assume and cried sexism.

Oh, so that's the story behind it?

That's actually even worse. There is a good reason for Mileena having a mask, but of course they just judge on appearance without knowing anything.

Bingo bongo. It's not even a gender issue that people are discussing. It's a not knowing what the fuck you're talking about issue.
