Kai'Sa is extremely sexualized for no GOOD reason

I'd like to start with by informing you that I'm not an SJW and I don't agree with feminist ideology in general but when it comes to Kai'Sa and her skins in this game they have a point. She's really sexualized to insane levels (probably more than any other female champion in the game if you consider her story).

Most of her life she was fighting for survival among wasteland swallowed by the Void. Her first days in there she was eating rotten peaches and drinking dirty water. Then when she got her 2nd skin she was feeding on Void creatures. You're telling me during all these years she didn't get any scars? Her skin, hair and face look amazing even though she dwelled in darkness for years? She had time and concerned herself with working out and/or putting sillicon implants inside herself? When her 2nd skin grew it convinently skipped her cleavage so she can look more sexy? She likes doing makeup in her spare time too? So many questions but no answers in her lore.

Let's talk about her skins now, specifically K/DA ones. Splash arts here are straight up ridiculously sexualized - just the right angle for the viewer to see her big, sexy bum and long legs but what strikes me the most are her ENORMOUS melons. Do you realize how big they would have to be when one of them is so visible from such angle?

I know that sex sells Riot but just because you can make some quick and easy money on horny teenage boys doesn't mean it's right for you to do so. Things like these cheapen the experience - every time reasonable people see K/DA Kai'Sa during loading screen they laugh at how ridiculously bad her visual design is. The best fiction characters are the ones that are believable, not the ones that are the most sexy.

This is what Kai'Sa could have been if Riot was more focused on making a good game instead of providing a good fap material just so they can make a few extra bucks.

You're late. The forums have already been over this. Like a long time ago.

You're super late.

Like I'm fairly certain they changed her original splash art because of SJWs? I don't recall if it was this one. You already won this battle though, so congrats I think.

You realize the in-game representation of champions are them in the present day in the lore, right? Kai'Sa already got out of the Void infested caverns, so yeah, she probably did clean herself up to the best of her ability. As for why she's uninjured, the suit protected her basically the entire time.

And K/DA Kai'Sa is in a music group, so yeah, she does makeup and looks sexy.

And there are so many more female champions who are worse when it comes to the sexualization, both in their base and their skins.

First, you're extremely late. Second, Riot already stated that the reason for the low neckline is for clarity that Kai'Sa isn't a native void being like Cho'Gath or Rek'Sai but rather a human wearing a suit.

Alright I'm back with more shit to say.

Kai'Sa was likely never going to be anything besides a human female, because she was already basically created years before she was released.

This is Husk. Husk was scrapped, and Camille and Kai'Sa both share aspects of her design, with Kai'Sa resembling her the most.

Kai'Sa

  • Sleek design, comprised of a thin frame and tight-fitting clothing.

  • Optional mask.

  • Shoulder things that basically function as a jetpack.

Camille

  • The more serious expressions.

  • Thin frame, tight clothing.

  • Leg problems.

They could have kept the more serious, battle-scarred look for Kai'Sa, but seeing as how her suit protects her when it senses danger(activates the mask), its unlikely that she would have ever been injured.

I think Kai'Sa is fine design wise and its only really her splash art(s) that are the problem. Seeing as how the splash arts are meant to make you want to buy the product they are showing off, she's going to be sexualized in them, and there's no way to really get around that.

  • She isn't walking around constantly with a plunging neckline. If the suit senses danger, the mask comes on, covering her head, neck and chest. And since she's almost always in some sort of danger, its unlikely that she is without her mask very often.

  • She's meant to be a swift hunter navigating the tight tunnels that the Void has infested, and that requires a sleek, skin-tight suit, as clothing would slow you down/get caught on things. Plus, its a symbiote. Its a part of her now, so its going to be skin-tight anyway.

  • As I pointed out before, she does appear to have suffered from her time in the caverns, being very thin and likely suffering from some other health issues. However, the suit may counter this, as being a symbiote, it basically makes her superhuman and makes her able to move/function despite possible issues.

  • Another thing I pointed out before, her in-game/slash art appearance is what she looks like in the present day lore, after she escaped the caverns. She was likely very dirty before, but the first thing she probably did was clean herself up and try to look as "normal" as she could without compromising her hunting abilities. Thus, the flawless hair and make up.

TLDR: Kai'Sa is fine and only her "sex sells" splash arts are the problem.

FFS, didn't we had this talk like almost a year ago? Stop beating a dead horse.

Given what Kassadin looks like .. yes she should be a mutant monstrosity but they made her to be Vayne 2.0, skintight bodysuit included. Shes a swimsuit model just because it sells literally millions and everyone knows it, and Riot needed to cut off the no-sexy-women rule thry followed for close to 4 years.

Only females released back then were Illaoi, Lamb, Reksai, Jinx, and Taliyah. Illaoi/Tali are deliberately ugly, Jinx is inhuman looking and Lamb/Rek are literal monsters - Not that Lamb isnt a sex goddess in her own right.
