ConsiderIng there are tens of thousands of indie game developers out there, you'd think she could partner with one of them and actually make a game with "acceptable" female armor, rather than just farting around with sketches.

That is, if the rest of the world really wants realistic armor in fantastic settings....

And who wants to look at stroid Starfire?

These two charas are one and the same: the main chara of Fire Emblem Fates, whose gender/age/looks/etc. are determined when you start a file. They're pitching tantrums only over the female version, because she happens to have a little more cleavage (and compared to other charas in the same game, it's not even THAT much) and her thighs are partially uncovered, meaning she's *gasssssp* *horrorrrr* designed to be sexually appealing and these whiny womanchildren don't like it. The harlot.

Honestly I've gotta side with them on that one (Broken clock etc) because showing thighs when you ride on a horse seems like an absurdly bad idea.

The character doesn't ride horses. Leastways not in the class in question.

And we all know that BABD doesn't really care about ~practicality~ in these regards, only about being whiny prudes that project their body issues on female characters instead of working on their own self-esteems and looks.

I still can't believe people made that big a stink over one inch of exposed leg, and her chest isn't even bared even if her boobs are obvious. And her pose, too, remember how eager they were to assume she was just a sexualized whore with "teehee boobs and butt~~~~" while the male looked properly heroic.

The thing is, nobody ever edited pants onto the knights and skyriders from the GBA or Tellius games. Even if battle thongs are a bad idea, it still reeks of double standard that these fans just HAPPENED to start being Concerned about practicality once the designs got sexier.

Thigh highs are cute AF (yeah I'm a weeb) but I did think it was silly then too, to be fair.

(Me too. Thigh highs are one of my favorite looks, lol)

And the pegasus knights in the Elibe games are all from Ilia, which is fucking cold, so you'd think they'd wear leggings under their short skirts and high boots.

These ladies are plain disgusted by thigh high boots for some reason.

Let's take two of Poison Ivy's biggest aspects: her seductive beauty and being a super-powered ecoterrorist and just make her a homely plant lady. Let's see how long it takes before they get rid of my comment.

Removing the first aspect kinda goes against part of her own self-image. She KNOWS she's good looking and uses that to dominate men and lower their guard. She almost got Harvey Dent killed long before he became Two-Face over this.

Why any imbecile would rob a female character who owns her sexuality for their own gain and purposes simply because they hate women looking attractive when SHE is the one using that as a weapon on purpose is just asinine.

Because "evil is beautiful" is an offensive troupe that sladerizes female sexuality. According to them.
 
Apologies in advance if I'm retreading old ground, but that exceptional bingo card has me a-logging a bit. ("She doesn't need armor, she's invulnerable" is the literal truth in many settings, you whining cretins.)

The core problem with BABD comes down to three words: "realistic female armor." There's few-to-no actual examples in history because women didn't wear armor or perform military field functions at all. There's a bunch of reasons for this, but the most basic ones boil down to strength and endurance, which men have a lot more of than women, on average. Even ignoring the reproductive damage you're doing to your society by putting women in harm's way, the vast majority of them can't hack it in a setting with swords, shields, and armor. If you're going to be "realistic" about it, you should have your women back home making whatever the local equivalent of sandwiches is. And if it's a fantasy setting with magic (or whatever) that can change the rules enough to make the above not true, why can't that selfsame magic also be used to make more aesthetically pleasing designs? Look at the blinged-out stuff from the reign of Maximilian II, if you've got a second- people in the actual past were hugely concerned with the look of the thing.

"Wearing plants against bare skin sounds like a bad idea to me"
She's not a normal human anymore. In all incarnations, she has an immunity to toxins through some form of genetic meddling. That's kind of her thing.

"...also wasn’t really a fan of the almost militaristic “plants should rule the world” motivation she has the game, so I decided to just make her into an overenthusiastic plant lover"
Make an OC then.

Amazing, they don't know a single thing about her character. They simply don't give a fuck about researching the characters they "correct".

Some fuck is actually trying to analyze what is essentially soft-core porn. What a louse lol.

This comment acknowledges the two women are used as props but it's awwright because Hanzo has agency and power, I guess...?

It's interesting that they don't talk about how D.Va is Korean, Mei is Chinese, and Hanzo is Japanese. You could have thrown in any of the female characters from the cast, but the two Asian girls were chosen and are wearing what looks like kimonos. Wouldn't conflating East Asian races as the same be verboten in SJW Land?
:thinking:

Perhaps instead of some beefcake eye candy, it's a political statement on imperialist Japan fucking over most of East Asia.

It wouldn't be Tumblr if they didn't try to OC everything. The core concept of Poison Ivy is about as complicated as a Mega Man boss.
Who is she? Plant woMan
What's her deal? Plants!
What's her stage like? PLANTS!

It's like going "Yeah, I like Snake Man, but what's with all the snakes?"
