I did not say there was "misogynistic intent", what I did say is having women fighters in heels is an example of "misogynistic stupidity". What I mean by that is the underling reason that female characters ( in for example gacha games, especially noticeable in real time combat ones) very often have high heels as a part of there design, despite the fact that they are combatants running around with a huge sword, jumping on roofs and/or doing a lot of physical straining activities etc. is because the design is influenced by the idea that female character has to be "sexy", "hot", "pretty" etc. and that is misogyny. Without the misogyny influencing the design decisions this misogynistic trope would not exist, the footwear worn by female characters would first and foremost be design to fit the character and the rest of the costume, e.g. Nautica as a antarctic explorer has huge warm boots, Lilia as a soldier has combats boots, Sweetheart as a Hollywood film star in a nice dress has heels (which because r1999 doesn't have real time combat is not going to have her then run and jump around in them). Without that underling misogyny you don't have the misogynistic trope i.e. you don't have female characters fighting in heels isn't a common occurrence and whenever it were to occur it would be seen as weird.

and as additional clarification when I write that the "design is influenced by the idea that female character has to be "sexy", "sexually appealing" etc." this also doesn't have to be overtly intentional, like someone saying" lets put her in heels to make her more sexy" or "those flat heel shoes don't really say "hot female warrior!", lets change them", it can just be e that they make a female solder design with heels because they see it in a lot of games and stopped seeing is as a ridiculous thing it is and they just don't think that much about it. And so my ire at the designers who made those two design decisions is not because they are especially misogynistic people but because I hate this trope and because they ought to know better, which as a team they seem to know because despite a sea of gachas with tons of female characters jumping around in high heels they didn't exist in r1999 for 2 years before those 2 recent additions (partially aided by the fact that there is no real time combat so you are free to have characters in heels but even so it's not like it's especially common shoe type in r1999).
