Meryl was sexually abused?; And, like, I never understood that?

Well it appears I've discovered it only now then. Woah. o.O;;;

This brings an interesting point, however, which I thought about just now. MGS1's Ocelot feels to me as if he may have been capable of doing such dishonorable things as rape. MGS3 and MGS4's Ocelot definitely doesn't seem that kind of person. (I won't mention MGS2 Ocelot... I barely remember him.) Does this bring another retcon, this time in the character's personality? (Kinda as seen in Big Boss.)
Why would he do that, he's asexual (part of the reason why he's baller, because he's never once shown to have lust for either men or women)

Ocelot asexual? He doesn't seem so, to me he looks even kinda lewd at times. :blink:

In any case, I think I understood how things went: it's a retcon!! Because Kojima originally didn't have so much things planned for the character of Ocelot, obviously. Then once he started giving him more personality, the fact Ocelot had to turn into a more sympathetic character to the public caused a contraddiction with the MGS1 events.

That's just you misinterpreting him that way. He's never once shown any attraction to a male or female. I think this is part of what makes it fitting that he's the grandmaster orchestrator by the end of mgs4 (and yes I know kojima didnt think of mgs3 and 4 until after he initially decided to stop at mgs2)

it makes no sense to say that he's asexual. you can't always tell in real life what a persons sexual preference is or if they're not inerested in anyone (not too many people like that) unless you know them.

when did liquid or gray fox or a crapload of other chracters ever demonstrate or confess sexual attraction? does every character have to have a love story to make us believe they're not"asexual".

Gray Fox has had a lover before. Like I said, it's more fitting considering his ability to transcend what is normally expected of a person...or maybe I just think this because he's a lot like me, and I'm asexual (apathetic might be a better word, idk).

Hm. As many people have said though, he most likely ordered Genome soldiers to do the actual raping, with him watching and walking around her laughing and talking about things to make it worse. That is most likely how he would get the most out of it, thinking himself the master torturer.
Still, it doesn't seem to me like something Wolf would allow, though.
I dont think would would have had that much choice in the matter. If Ocelot deemed it a necessary form of torture he could have pulled it off. Afterall he was Liquid's right hand man. Not only that, I don't think Wolf would have cared all that much for Meryl.

I see the point your making.

But I'm just going on my interpretation of her character from when I first met her, so to speak. Both she and Raven never gave me the impressions that they were 100% devoted to Liquid and his (or rather supposedly his) plot.
If FOXHOUND and the Genomes threw a party, I seriously doubt Wolf would be the life of it.

Remember Ocelot saying "I'll have my fun with her" and stuff like that if you give up during the torture or something, guess it was supposed to be rape, but then Ocelot became this mega major, big character in the next MGS games so Kojima probably just decide to keep his mouth shut and hope we forgot that line from MGS :P

EDIT: And yes Lun-sei, I have also noticed that he has a total different personality, in MGS2, 3 and 4 he is slightly sadistic but... still controlled and calm...he's smart and cunning.
While in MGS1 he was just a sadistic typical sadistic bad guy who knows nothing but killing and fighting, he doesn't have control over himself, killing the DARPA chief with an accident (and it WAS an accident at that time, Hideo didn't think of Sigint and Ocelot being patriots at that time!) So yeah, Ocelot in MGS1 and Ocelot in the others are different, he wasn't a big major character in MGS1, only special about him was that he survived the game and had a special ending phone call. Come to think of it, the only similarity between Ocelot in MGS1 and the others are his appearence....lol :P
i think everyone is reading way to much in to this, i think the line "yes and worse" was ment to make the player feel for Meryl as she wasn't hardened solider like Snake. I believe Kojima wouldn't want to hit on a subject like rape, and if he did he would handle it appropiatly.

As far as killing the DARPA chief it WASN'T an accident as he even tells us in the phone call at the end "No, sir. My cover is intact. Nobody knows who I really am. Yes, the DARPA Chief knew my identity, but he's been disposed of."

"Whoever wins, our battle does not end, the loser is freed from the battlefield, but the winner must remain there.
And the survivor must live his life as a warrior until he dies."

But, this is a japanese videogame. They put stuff like rape and hot babes and tentacles all the time. The MGS saga is definitely no exception. XD

To put jokes aside.... I still go for a retcon theory. Because had I played only MGS1 I'd have thought that Ocy raped Meryl. Only after MGS3 and MGS4 one starts wondering if it was really like that.
We see how characters developed to become more human. Big Boss was just some sort of crazy warmonger tyrant back in the Metal Gear games, right?

(Offtopic sidenote: Ocelot definitely isn't "asexual". There's just so many examples about that. In any case, this is beside the point. We were discussing a possible discrepance between Ocelot's personality as portrayed in MGS1 and as portrayed in the later games, we're not discussing a character's sexual tastes. XD )

Agreed. I find Raven more devoted to Liquid that Wolf was. I doubt shed be the life and soul of any party. However, I don't think she would have gone as far as to stop Ocelot. She would have just gone to see to her puppies (take that how you will) and ignored the 'politics' of the situation. I don't think she involves herself in any major decisions at all.

Your post did make me laugh my arse off though.

Damn it. All I wanted to write in this post was *giggles uncontrolably* but I can't do that due to minimum post requirement.

*giggles uncontrolably*

There. Much better.

how do you now when gray fox had a lover? i see what you're saying but do you think that his character was going to have a romantic relationship in the story? he just doesn't care for anyone but he could still get pleasure out of sexual encounters. i don't think he's asexual. he just doesn't care about anyone. he just idolized big boss. who knows

Okay, someone really needs to say this: Why are people stuck on the assumption that individuals like Gray Fox and Ocelot are their own reproductive partners? :blink:
You all do realise that that's what "asexual" means, right? :huh:


Strike that, never mind. Looked the word up.

It was revealed that Gray Fox had a lover in one of the first Metal Gear games. I can't remember which one it was exactly.

In MG 2: SS...a skater named Gustava Heffner...although I believe in the original versions her name was Natasha.

I'm just saying someone with such grand schemes as Ocelot (first with the Patriots, and then trying to make Big Boss's dream come true) shouldn't have his "mystique and aura" be dragged down by sexual interests...but that's just me.

In any case, I don't see what's the fuss about Ocy being possibly attracted by someone. It would make him more realistic. Even the legendary icon Big Boss did have his desires. XD

When she said 'and things worse than that' rape was what came to my mind.

By who? My guess is just a normal Genome Soldier - more than likely a few of 'em.
I think MGS and Meryl in it was way too dramatic for her to be abused by nobody, I could be wrong though, but I don't think it was Ocelot either.

yup, she means sexually abused. When I first heard her say it, I knew that was what she was referring to. It would have been a normal soldier, if anyone. It was an interrogation
