We're saying Nessa is oversexualized because if you compare Nintendo's black female characters (Nessa, Marina, Olivia, ect) to their white ones in the SAME GAMES (Sonia, Pearl, Lana, ect) its a vast difference. Her outfit isn't the problem, its the fact that ALL of their female black characters are dressed like this. If there were more female darker characters in less revealing outfits, then it'd be fine! Its just a little... iffy when they're ALL dressed in that way, yknow?
all gym leaders who are N O T in swimsuits and are only showing skin because the developers wanted them to, yet nobody says shit about them
all black gym leaders who don’t show hardly any skin and are wearing clothes appropriate to their climate
olivia, who you say is oversexualized but she lives on an island in hot island climate and is wearing cute af clothes, isn’t showing any cleavage, no sexual aspects of her are emphasized at all, she is wearing a cute outfit that shows skin because of where she lives and because she likes wearing cute/trendy clothes and girly jewelry because that’s what her business is based off of. she is being FEMININE and also wearing CLIMATE-APPROPRIATE clothing. she cute and pretty too
nessa, who is a water gym leader in galar, who is wearing a swimsuit with galar’s typical sports-like logos. it looks just like something women in the olympics wear.
she is wearing an outfit that is more conservative than a bikini (which she is also allowed to wear since you know, people everywhere wear bikinis without it being a problem) and yet y’all wanna start shit bc she’s black. she looks cute. she’s pretty. she’s confident. she’s wearing clothing appropriate for her job. if that dynamaxed dreadnaw uses surf she is goddamn ready.
please stop using this argument because it’s not true. you’re ignoring real oversexualization problems in other media in favor for arguing against Nessa’s design instead because it makes you feel “woke”. She is not doing anything sexy. She does not look sexy. She looks like a teenager wearing a swimsuit.
