Nessa is NOT oversexualized.
You know, in fact, Nessa is not sexualized at ALL. I am so tired of seeing this:
I will preface this by saying: I am black. I am female. if you tell others “listen to black/female voices on the matter” then here one is. here is a black female voice. listen to me.
The thing most people say is that Nessa’s outfit is too revealing. Well, my question is, why isn’t Misty’s? Or Jessie’s? I mean, there’s even more examples, like Shauna from Hoenn, or Gardenia. What about Shelly’s original design from the R/S games?
We are now finished with Misty.
And, well, I shouldn’t have to bring up Jessie, but I will anyway.
Woah! Do you see that? Her top is- is so TIGHT! and her skirt? Oh jeez, and her BOOTS? She’s practically a hooker! this isn’t safe for kids!
That was all sarcasm. This is how you sound when you bring up this double standard for Nessa. You know what, let’s just take a look at Nessa vs Jessie right now.
Alright so we see that their tops are… basically the same thing, except for the fact that one is a shirt and the other is, you know, a bikini. for swimming. because she is the water type gym leader. Oh but let’s not forget that she’s showing oh so much SKIN! It’s about the same as Jessie give or take some inches due to the angle of Jessie’s picture vs Nessa’s.
And as I will likely say many more times in this post, Nessa’s top covers her thiddies because she is wearing a bikini. thats what bikinis do. they cover the bare minimum of your body in order for you to legally be in public while also enjoying the water. Should also point out that she’s wearing swimming shorts, so in a way, she’s more covered up than most people who wear bikinis, Misty included.
Finally, for this section of the argument, Shauna, Shelly, and Garden Girl.
Shauna (or Tessa, or whatever), from Hoenn, looks like this:
Pretty revealing clothing, huh? Well what if I told you, this ALSO is not oversexualized? This is an outfit used for the ease of fighting. She is a Battle Girl, a character with no real personality within games, but is an actual character within the anime. Minor, but a character nonetheless.
Now just take a good look at her outfit. Dang, it’s kinda familiar, isn’t it? Oh yeah, that’s because it’s the exact same outfit Nessa wears.
I shouldn’t have to go deeper into this, but I will for just a second.
Garden Girl (Gardenia) she wears a weak ass poncho over her shirt that, even though it’s long sleeved, is not at all a SHIRT. you can see exactly where it ends and, would you look at THAT!
It’s the SAME PLACE!!!! WHOA!!!!!! THIS IS SO WILD MY GUYS!!!!
BUT I’M NOT DONE YET, BECAUSE THERE’S A WHOLE NEXT SECTION AFTER THIS ONE, SO JUST HOLD ON TIGHT FELLAS!
She’s a little small, not my fault she’s from Ruby and Sapphire. This is Shelly. No, not that ORAS Shelly. This is the original R/S Shelly. and she’s well- she’s just– WEARING NOTHING! you see cleavage in a KID’S game! This is just baffling, fellas!
Now I’m just as tired talking about other scantily clad anime girls as you are, so why not move onto our second section.
“Nintendo is always sexualizing their darkskin/black characters!!!!”
Sooooo sexualized! Oh, you didn’t mean JUST pokemon characters? Well this has no fucking reason to even be considered an argument when we’re talking strictly about pokemon, but ok. I’ll address it.
THE MALE AND FEMALE OCTOLINGS ARE DRESSED THE SAME! THE GIRL IS WEARING A SKIRT BECAUSE SHE’S FEMININE AND HER HEELS ARE VERY TALL!
ALSO DARK SKIN IS NOT THE ONLY CHOICE, YOU CAN CHANGE THE COLOR OF THE SKIN!!
You people are just choosing to be stupid.
That’s it! I’m going BONKERS! I can’t do this anymore, guys! STOP SAYING BLACK WOMEN NEED TO COVER UP! STOP SETTING A DOUBLE STANDARD FOR DARKSKIN WOMEN IN MEDIA! YOU DO NOT DO THIS FOR ANY OTHER RACE OR CHARACTER OTHER THAN NESSA AND YOU KNOW YOU DONT!
STOP BEING FAKE WOKE! YOU’RE NOT DOING ANY BLACK PERSON OR WOMAN A FAVOR FOR PRETENDING TO CARE ABOUT RACISM/SEXISM! IF ANYTHING, YOU ARE THE RACISTS! IT’S JUST SO FUNNY HOW NOW YOU DECIDE TO COME UP WITH FUN QUIRKY LITTLE REDESIGNS, WHERE THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR MISTY? WHERE WAS IT FOR JESSIE? I DON’T SEE A SINGLE REDESIGN FOR SHAUNA OR SHELLY OR EVEN ORAS SHELLY!
YOU DON’T CARE. YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT NESSA OR BLACK WOMEN. YOU CARE ABOUT MAKING YOURSELF FEEL COMFORTABLE BECAUSE BLACK WOMEN WEARING SWIMSUITS TRIGGERS SOMETHING IN YOU TO GO HOG GODDAMN WILD AND SCRIBBLE ON A WETSUIT OR A ONCE PIECE.
YOU AIN’T SLICK. AND YOU AIN’T GETTING AWAY WITH THIS RACISM!
