Soul Caliber Japanese advertising.

[image description: two posters with Japanese writing advertising Soul Caliber V. One shows a woman exhibiting a lot of cleavage, the other shows a back picture of a woman wearing a thong. Neither of the pictures show the women’s face]

This is a common type of sexist advertising widely seen, exhibiting different body parts of women in an overly-sexual manner, but not showing their faces, reducing them to only sexual objects.

Don’t get confused and think that I agree with this, but I do appreciate how accurate these advertisements are. People are up in arms over these posters, but I dare you to play any Soul Caliber and not notice Taki’s pointy nipples. Again, I’m not saying it’s right. Just disappointingly accurate.
