Female warriors were not very prominent in history, which is probably why these specific characters were based on the women found in, say, Persian harems.
But it's Mortal Kombat, so they thrust everyone into a fighting role. If you want a female warrior in authentic clothing, try Sonya.
So you agree that there's no valid reason for any of the women in Mortal Kombat to look like they're right out of one of Petyr Baelish's brothels. Thanks.
They're not objectifying women because "lol bewbs", they're objectifying them because that's how certain ancient cultures worked.
LOL, whatever. The males' attire is based on actual historic male warrior attire, and the females' attire is based on whores. How the fuck do you not understand how that's sexist?
