This thread has proven one point:

Even video game characters aren't safe from feminist criticism. What do you want next? Cat Woman in loose sweatpants and a "I <3 kitties" sweater? It's a video game, if you don't like the character design, don't play.

your attitude is more about driving out people who disagree with you than about driving game improvement

also you're seriously citing comics as an example where female portrayal isn't at all problematic? pls

I've seen a few posts label Zyra and Syndra as bad character design. Why is that? Just curious.

Zyra...well, whatever, hamadryad myths, I can deal with that.

Syndra? That belted-on pushup/thong...thing? Bleh.

Usually people read a thread like this by checking the OP, maybe the first few pages, jump around the red posts, and maybe the last few pages.

Depending on the iteration of cat women the "feminist" would maybe change the material of her costume to something like Kevlar, get rid of the boob window, and keep it all black. Less BDSM, more actual cat burglar. Thinking about that it actually sounds cool, 95% of the iterations of Catwoman have come off more as cheesy than as "sexy".
