The way we tolerated the way Mai looks since the old days.
But, yea some people feel & think otherwise and do not tolerate it. As how he explained the way he felt in his article.
Which I just wana break down a bit because most of the shit he says is not 100% true or True Period.
" Then there’s Mai. Mai.. Has always been a fanservice character. I’m really not sure what to make of her. Words fail me, so hopefully a picture will do."
" Ash Crimson or Benimaru were given similar levels of fanservice. It would have been at least a nod to SNK knowing that women are people, and that they have fans outside of stereotypical male gamers; Drooling virgin post-adolescent straight men. I know plenty of guys who find this kind of thing uncomfortable, not to mention embarressing to play. But apparently the fanbase that SNK seek to cater for are those who enjoy this kind of fanservice."
" To compound the problem, many of the male members of the cast spend their time slut-shaming Mai for how she acts. So; let’s dress our character up to be a slut, then shame and demean her for it through the voice of our male cast."
She's a Kunoichi, and Kunoichi apparel has always been varied.
" Real-life kunoichi were trained differently from male ninja. Their training focused more on disguises, poisons, and using their gender to an advantage.......
They would usually
disguise themselves as geisha, prostitutes, entertainers, fortune-tellers, and the like to get very close to the enemy. It is thought that they would generally seduce the soon-to-be victim and when they get close enough, would poison them..."

If you just keep re-reading that article u can see he took shit way to emotionally.
Some other shit he said
"The ‘ideal’ fans they seem to be catering for are apparently a group of sexually-repressed straight white cisgendered guys, who see ethnic minorities as subhuman, women as objects and trans people as beings of scorn and disgust.".................
Yeah, SNK can go fuck themselves. ....
Fuck you, SNK. Fuck you.
Come on now, dont take this article to the heart. He takes the way SNK animates races to seriously. I find the races of the backround characters to be cartoon animated & not made to be disrespectful to any race. But some people idiotically take it to seriously & seem to think otherwise.
