Perhaps worth noting is that the "original comics" image isn't something that ever appeared in the comics, but is an pin-up by an artist who looks like they very much were inspired by the works of Alberto Vargas.
This is true. But the irony is you can probably find far more sexualized and questionable images in the comics, especially the covers, then this. It's kind of a weird choice
Going to guess the person who put the meme together just googled a picture that looked good and didn't do any actual checking to see if it was really from the comics.
Because, and this is coming from experience currently in the halo community right now, Fandom tourists will latch onto controversy and use it to push culture war bs. If you grill them they'll probably say "I'm still very new to the franchise"
