Fifteen years after Mortal Kombat‘s Mileena appeared in the pages of Playboy, NetherRealm Studios is once again using saucy newsstand magazines to promote the latest entry in their fighting franchise. This time, the hijab-sporting Skarlet is on deck to appear in the 2019 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, and she’s chosen the Taliban-approved “burkini” as her swimwear of religious dictate choice.

Here’s the pic straight from the SI swimsuit issue. Control yourself, fellas. She’s showing an awful lot of wrist!

It’s truly wonderful that both NetherRealm Studios and Sports Illustrated embrace inclusivity to such a degree that they’ll even prominently celebrate an instrument of female oppression in both their fighting game series and in the pages of their 2019 swimsuit issue, respectively.

Stunning and brave.

The Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue will be available -eh, who cares?

You didn’t think I’d leave you high and dry without the 2004 Mileena Playboy image, did you?
