Bikini Armor Battle Damage - Hypocrites and Sexy Art

[Ruin]

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

I've always really liked Casca's armor from Berserk as an example of what practical and attractive female armor should look like.

Actually Farness's paladin armor is pretty great looking too and and not skimpy. Horrible shit happens to Berserk's female characters but at least they aren't in boobplate.

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.

I'd say any decently competent character designer can make modest designs, no need to go to a triple A media company.

As for the middle ground you suggest, I don't think it'd work like you'd hope. For starters, complainers like Wincenworks don't really care about armor. They care about anything that makes female characters look sexy or attractive. They'll bitch about cleavage in what's supposed to be just a cloth outfit. So even if you could appease them with more reasonable armor designs, they'd just move on to characters who aren't wearing armor. Then once all female characters aren't showing skin, they'd move onto complaining about other aspects that are too "sexy".

In other words, even if designs like these were common place:


They'd still be finding things to bitch about.

Then there's the question of what happens when you tell a character designer to make armor that looks like dresses. You can easily end up with something like what Caramelo posted, which amounts to a decent dress with some random armor bits slapped on. That can work from a modesty standpoint, but anyone who wants something closer to practical looking armor is likely to be disappointed. While the complainers will of course still bitch about anything in the design that's too feminine for their liking.

It is the year 2122, and Brain-in-a-Jar Citizen Wincenworks now demands female characters' ears be covered so as to not imply they are interested in hearing men's flirtatious courtship.

It really is a purity spiral, spinning ever inwards, and inevitably crushing itself into a singularity in the center.

But he's still ok with women being topless as long as they're ugly or the breasts look weird.

Part of the fun is the immense cognitive dissonance of these so-called "progressives" using the exact same argument as the Religious Right nutcases in the early 00s: ugly women are fine and virtuous. Sexy women are evil temptresses from hell that must cover up or be shunned. Shunned, I say!

Honestly, I would choose an evil, sexy temptress over an ugly, goody two-shoes, any day of the week.

But he's still ok with women being topless as long as they're ugly or the breasts look weird.

I honestly, I don’t understand why he keeps pushing for ugly characters. Ugly will NEVER be beautiful. It will never be the norm.

They'd probably bitch about her not wearing chain mail with plate armor even though she's obviously wearing a gambeson under it and a lot of medieval soldiers just wore a gambeson.

I feel like natural selection weeded out all the women that wear boob plate in that universe. What with all the characters that had at least one attempted rape on them.

You know, sometimes I wonder, do these any of these ‘people’ (and I use that term loosely) ever do anything besides talk about geek shit?

Could you imagine Wencenworks talking about stuff like Breaking Bad or It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia?

Could you imagine Wencenworks talking about stuff like Breaking Bad or It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia?

Honestly,… no.

You know, I could be wrong but whenever I see SJWS like Wincenworks rant about sexy females it’s always stuff like DC, Marvel, Naruto, Final Fantasy, etc. You know, action stuff.

I wonder why that is? You have any thoughts?

I guess it's because those have the biggest offenders.

Men are the target audience for action, so they have sexy women to pander to them. At least, thats my theory.

Pretty much.

Meanwhile, if you look at romance comics or manga, you see enough pretty boys to make a horny k-pop stan die of dehydration within 24 hours. Why? Because the target audience for those is mostly female.

Different demographics like different things. Amazing, isn't it?

 

[Judge Dredd]

Time to complain about Red Sonja and the lack of realistic physics in one page.

Breast and lioncloth physics are the least of that images problems. The incomplete inks/shading, and her appearing in front of the horses head stand out as way more egregious problems.

Because he thinks it's popular.

I could rant at length about various possible SJW motives, but in Wincenworks case, I think he has mild interest in "geek stuff" since it became popular around 2008. Maybe he has some interest in comics, enough that he sees covers of books he doesn't like enough to complain about them. However, like many SJWs, he never updated his playbook or talked to people outside his bubble so he's a decade out of touch, even more so than the typical SJW.

He still uses Anita Sarkeesian talking points even though she's an obscure has-been now. He still uses Tumblr despite the mass exodus to Twitter. If asked, he'd likely say PewDiePie plays jumpscare horror games to entertain children. But perhaps most damning, he still thinks comics are popular and problematic, despite them going full woke years ago, and have since crashed and burned as a result. I don't know how someone into comics could miss that.

He's like a time-capsule to 2012 radical feminism. While most SJWs have moved onto reeing about "anti-vaxers" and "terfs" like JK Rowling, Wincenworks is still complaining about too much cleavage in games.

I'm surprised Wencenworks is supporting this. I'd think he'd be lamenting the loss of the broken, no-fun She-Hulk that looked over-muscled with no femininity.

Apparently he likes the "woman in a vaguely business suit looking outfit" that he's willing to not only give a pass to lack of visible muscles, but overlook that the blouse is open to show a lot of cleavage.

It's odd how he'll break his own rules to give something an ok.

Time to give an opinion on censored designs.
