So for any of you starry-eyed fangirls out there who still think Raiden is p much a Perfect Purinsu aside from his violent tendencies which are safely directed away from any innocents (or so MGR would have us believe)...
I give you: Raiden going from mild sexism to full-blown misogyny. Yes, misogyny: treating women as sex objects with no consideration for their feelings as human beings. Also note how Raiden doesn't even think what he did was wrong - quite easy to think it's not wrong to humiliate another human being if you see them as merely a walking set of genitals. Oh and of course Rose's feelings don't count for anything either; nothing gets between a dudebro and some choice pussy, least of all silly wimminz and their silly, inconsequential feelings.
Now I can already hear the fangirls bleating: B-but but, this is optional! You don't have to make Raiden do that! My Raiden didn't do that when I was playing!
True! But the fact remains that he 1) is always ready and willing to do this no matter who plays and 2) always has that particular reaction to being called out on his shit no matter who plays. That alone says a lot about what kind of person he is, and none of it's very nice.
And for anyone wondering why I'm not coming down on the Colonel like I am with Raiden, let me remind you that the Colonel is a frickin' computer program.
For those of you who can live without romanticizing Raiden for ten minutes, here's how you get these calls: when in the Shell 1 Core Hall (B1) where the hostages are, crawl under the table across from the female hostage (she's the one who calls herself "Jennifer" if you mic her), tranq her and wait for her legs to slowly slide open as she sleeps. Obviously, you can't get the second convo unless you have the digital camera equipped.
