There's another happy part to the fiasco where the woman who started the whole witch hunt on him decided to get the vapors when she found out that people were siding with him and tried to start her own funding for her "pain and suffering". Didn't get one red cent.

The dude and his friends are into this weird amalgamation of metal and rockabilly and the fashion involves bowling shirts with sci-fi stuff on them and other odd prints.

The chick who made it for him for his birthday ended up being able to start her own business as a seamstress out of it. She's pretty cool. If you order from her you get a vintage pinup playing card with your order - a pretty fitting gimmick.

This is one of the many reasons I’m so glad I got out of geek culture.

And is it just me or does wincenworks keep getting dumber?

I've kind of noticed that, too. Given how he praised morbidly obese slob Thor (God of War), it makes me wondering if he's heading toward the territory that macho, muscular physiques are now haram.

Remember, this isn't just about trying to destroy female notions of beauty. It's about making all beauty subject to their will. So men aren't exempt if the person critiquing the work isn't someone who's horny for the character.
 
I loves me some Vallejo and Frazetta artwork.

I only get salty if fans of them try to claim it's also practical. It makes an awesome image, but you'd be a fucking idiot to fight in that shit.

It makes me wonder what Wencenworks looks like in real life.

I'm going to do my one good deed for the week and say he's probably... not conventionally attractive. Even if he's not ugly, anyone with that sort of mindset is bound to be unpleasant no matter how they look.

It's definitely not practical, and it's not meant to be practical. If anything, it's meant to emphasize how badass the character is for fighting without any armor on, either due to their skill or just raw barbaric toughness. Is it also suicidal? Absolutely. But plot armor exists and some characters wear it extremely well.

I forgot the exact supplement this rule was in, but in one of the GURPS sourcebooks, there's a rule that if you were playing an especially cheesy and cinematic campaign that the GM can offer a player "shirtless armor" as a merit that gives you an actual armor rating so long as you show some skin (and yes, both sexes can buy it).

Really? Candy? They’re talking about cartoon candy now?

I’m so glad, I’m not as invested in western brands anymore.

Throw in the fact that the company is just trying to cover their tracks since they're under investigation for child labor, makes this even stupider.

Yep, those are really good. Wincenworks is being a good broken clock, I see.

I think even some of the biggest lolcows can make a half-way decent point on something once in a while. Meanwhile, I'll be waiting for the fit Wincenworks will throw when he discovers that Zenescope has "Z-Rated" exclusive covers which are about $100 a pop.
 
I think the best middle ground would be to make female characters in armor that looks like dresses. Still has feminine beauty but isn't obviously made by some coomer. Thing is it takes alot more thought and design so it's easy to make a character appealing through sexiness then beauty. Alot of the people that are able to make modest designs are triple A media companies.

That reminds me. Is Red Sonja any good, or is it just social justice stuff like the rest of western comics nowadays?

I don't know where the latest runs of Red Sonja stand, but anything first published over ten years ago should be fine. There were great stories, there were "meh" stories, but overall I enjoyed reading those back in the day. Anything more recent than that, though? No idea.

A design like you described that I remember is the female swordsman in old ragnarök online.
A modest dress with light armour.
