That article really puts it down. It makes me think that maybe that Yoshio fellow should never have taken the time to think about "Who Samus is". It was better off leaving the fans to decide that. Will any of this outrage actually hit home with this guy? Will he even hear about it?
It boggles the mind. That's considering that not only is Samus, up until now, a good character who's spare dialog painted a competent human being, she is one of the very few female leads who's armor isn't sexualized. Even Terra wears a mini-skirt. Samus's armor barely reveals anything feminine, it's even got giant oversized man-shoulders.
How did it come to this?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
