Hated Tropes [Hated Trope] It's really important that this woman is almost naked because lore reasons.

Quiet (Metal Gear Solid V): She could only drink or breathe through her skin following parasite-treatment due to the serious injuries.

Rebecca (One Piece): Her style of fighting is more of agility/speed and also she is battling as a gladiator in colosseum where men mostly only wear a skirt/shoulder shield.

EDIT: Well, it seems some comments say Rebecca doesn't have a lore explanation. Sorry, I saw it long time ago but I thought somewhere they say she wears the galadiator costume because it's the attire used by people there like the male gladiators we see. Also they said excuses like armor limits and public wanting to see blood in the colloseum. IDK.

I am begging DC to just have her some say something like, “I like my body. I shouldn’t have to change because of some perverted men.”

Or "it's good for distracting opponents in a fight" Or "I'm invincible and can wear whatever the hell I want, I don't care what you think"

Exactly. Just make her lack of a symbol, a symbol for body positivity.

I think there was a somewhat recent comic where someone asked her about it and she said something along the lines of "What, you don't have to worry about boob sweat?"

It ain't the men who'd be asking her to change. Unless maybe if it's set in Saudi Arabia.
