It's because she's thin, attractive AND wearing a bikini. People are also kinda pissed that she gets fairly close to bug boss throughout the game, saying that she only exists to fall for a man.

You notice they never seem to bring up that opening scene where she almost kills Big Boss?

Personally, I thought it sense.

When we first meet her, she's trying to kill you, and she winds up getting set on fire twice and falls out a window. When we meet her again, you wind up defeating her (but not killing her) and stop her from offing herself. She later shows back up during the scene enroute back to Mother Base when you thought she escaped (she just turned invisible) to bail you out, and apparently she was intrigued as to why Snake didn't just off her before and decided to return the favor and saved him from getting killed, being so intrigued afterward she willingly returns to Mother Base with Snake to find out more.

Despite pressure from Kaz, you don't have her killed, and with Ocelet's encouragement, she later winds up an ally. As the game progresses, Snake's continual show of humanity and mercy to someone who, by all rights, should have killed her long ago, winds up winning her over, which is why she's willing to die for you at the end of her game arc, because that intrigue turned into admiration which turned into loyalty which turned into love.

If anything, I think it made her death more meaningful in that she chose to die instead of allowing the parasite inside of her to harm a man she not only renounced any desire or obligation to kill, but she instead fell for him because he treated her as a person, ally, and friend despite the fact they should have been enemies and he had every reason to want to kill her before and had plenty of chances to do so beforehand.

IMO, that's some good writing, because it shows just how charismatic Snake is, and she chose to put herself in a refrigerator instead of allowing Snake to die because of the love that was born out of his continued loyalty to her.

She could have chosen to let Snake die and extend her own life, that was an option, but she CHOSE to give up her life for his out of loyalty to someone who had repaid the favor despite every reason why he should have killed her a long time ago.

Tl;dr, my spoiler filled rationale boils down to: The SJWs and especially Wu are full of shit, she's a well written character once you look past the fanservice.

Doesn't mean she doesn't keep an old script around... or have someone else's.

John Flynt has a lengthy history of drug abuse, so having a stash of illegally obtained painkillers is not that far-fetched.

And for that matter, would explain recent bizarre, incoherent outbursts on a number of subjects.

So Flynt is now too whacked out on a drug habit to even manage to be coherent for an improvidently-granted Rolling Stone interview.

And here I was, assuming the better of DaWu. My mistake, it will not happen again.

Lets take this to the Metal Gear thread shall we? Also John has a weird horse face and I would not scissor with him.

What the hell is the deal with his face, anyway? For the longest time, I had assumed that most of the common photos of him were just taken during an awkward point where his mouth was open when he was talking. It wasn't until quite a while later that I realized that's just how his face looks.

Is it the result of some kind of botched cosmetic surgery or something?

His face is really saggy. I'm not sure if this is due to his age, previous weight loss or a by-product of the hormone treatments. Maybe a combination of all three. John wasn't the most attractive person to begin with either and that certainly isn't helping him pass.

Honestly, I think it's mainly from terrible health. Wu is not a healthy individual- mentally or physically. Surviving off Soylent for so long is gonna fuck you up, and Wu already didn't look too healthy to begin with.

Riiight, John. You were "running" - "training" for one of those "marathons" you have no record of running. So you "had" to take a "painkiller" (read: street oxy).

And because you "had" to take a "painkiller", that's why you'll sound like a babbling baboon in an interview - which, oddly, you always do. No, this time, it's the fault of your claimed "victimization" by gracelessness and gravity.

Your tweets have become excessively manic, abusive, and loopy these past few weeks - even by the low bar you set.

It's almost like, I don't know... someone with a relapse into a nasty drug addiction?

Nah. Let's take you at your word. You can never tell a lie.

Yeah, funny she usually goes full damage control after the incident occurs, just gets to show how embarrassing this time its going be.

If you took the fat young version of John Flynt and put him in a dress, he'd be a more convincing tranny than the current anorexic scarecrow Soylent Death version.
 
Isn't Janeway the somewhat psychotic fleet captain because the writers don't know how to write her or something? If that's true, I understand why Wu likes her so much.

Paging Liefeld. Paging Doctor Rob Liefed.

Apparently, even Kate Mulgrew, who played Janeway, hated the inconsistent writing.

Janeway is the one who is schizo, one minute she'll follow the Prime Directive to the letter, the next she's fucking around with pre-warp civilisations.
