Well, shaping metal like that is still hard, so it would probably just be general torso shaped, and they would also probably be using a shield instead.

Yes, I know, but a good shitpost is a good shitpost.

And the logical conclusion to be drawn from this is that titty armor is actually more realistic than not because it was the norm for most of human history.

So I guess 300 was actually on point with their costume design. You learn something new every day.

If memory doesn't fail me, ancient Spartan Hoplites would either fight in the nude (wearing greaves, a helmet and a shield), or wearing light tunics. Given they were out there right next to the Mediterranean, you really wouldn't want to be wearing all that much to a fight in the middle of summer. Trying to get into an open field battle in 96-degree weather is just begging for heatstroke, and covering up just makes it worse.

Holy fucking shit 300 was actually historically accurate in the costume designs. I remember hearing once in a review that the fantastically nude men were that way because the whole movie is actually a story being told (which is why that traitor guy is so warped and deformed, and why Darius is eight feet tall), but the fact that the Spartans probably actually dressed similarly is causing me to lose my shit.

Well, despite the institutional man-man relationships they weren't all huge men with abs that could cut through glass.

But yes, the costumes themselves weren't too far off the mark. They were a bit fanciful since the movie is very heavily stylized. You would also likely be seeing a lot more dick in real life since they wouldn't be bothering with those loincloths even if they were wearing tunics.

A miniature that has boobs being shown. Truly terrible the state of some figurine looking sexual.

They like to claim that they don't mind sexy designs of women under the right circumstances, but I don't believe it.

One would wonder if they actually have these "right circumstances" or if that's just a way to deflect how spergy they can sound over a piece of plastic/drawn boob.

Became a bit of a meme in this thread from how goddamn exceptional it was.

I can get the problem being that midsection because no armor but then again, even if one were to be realistic on armor and guns, body armor can be fucked by just a few bullets from an assault rifle. And multiple images of the same stance makes me wonder if that's just concept or promo art they could be complaining about. And the kneepads just makes Wincen sound like they be paranoid because they must really think those kneepads are for sex or some attempt at sexy.

If you see the reactions of certain communities like r/mortalkombat or really any video game series trying to be mainstream in the west. The amount of people who recoil at sexy fanservice is astonishing really. It's like Z gen boomers "Why not just go watch porn" "it's embarassing and not mature". Said people also usually fawn over covered up redraws or redesigns. Fighting games get this a bit.

As far as sperging over sexy desgins go, the only thing to make it more or less autistic is people on the other side getting exceptional. I remember that flared up over some classic outfit of Jill from the RE3 Remake. Then again, it could be less boner autistic and just more nostalgia autistic if one wanted the outfit to be more accurate than just weird skirt/short hybrid. Won't forget one guy trying to accuse an alleged gay dude of wanting to thirst over a vidya character even though the former looked to be a Warcraft sperg.

Back before KiA gotten more autistic and sperg ass and boobplate spergings were more in fo, I remember one guy ranting about the spergings over boobplate, he used a video example of pict warriors wearing only gold torcs and how it can be scary you are getting rushed at by a naked dude with a sword or a spear screaming "LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT MY BIG, BARBARIAN PENIS! I'M HERE TO KILL YOU!".

I could see the knee pads being used to provide comfort to her knees when she's kneeling down to help an injured person who is laying on the ground.

TBF Jill's original outfit made little sense but the remake puts her into a boring Nu Lara Croft getup. Blue dress was at least ememorable.

Kneepads on medics actually make sense because people in dire need of medical attention tend to be lying down. That's actually the most rational and practical part of that character's design (second is the giant red crosses everywhere, ensuring that people know that this is a medic). The only things actually preventing that from being an entirely practical outfit are the lack of sleeves.
 
I started making BABD approved warriors/fighters last year for a shitpost, then immediately forgot about it, the idea was that good. But I found them in a folder just now so I'll post them.

They moved the wings up, that's so lame. I liked the dress-like function of the wings when closed

I don't think they bothered to look at any other pictures of her than this one to notice that. I'm actually impressed that they inadvertently managed to make the outfit skimpier. By the way, the wings are part of her armor and more for gliding than for flying.

That would require playing the game or at least watching a play through to understand.

My favourite part is where they say "can you believe she's a valkyrie", the answer is if you played more than 30 seconds of the game, yes, what do they want, a big horned helmet?
 
Granted it's been a while since I've played the original Resident Evil 3 but wasn't Jill off duty when the shitstorm in Racoon City broke out? It's very plausible a women of her age would wear a skirt/tanktop as casual wear, especially in the summer.

Jill was not only off duty but was suspended from the force, she'd also possibly resigned or been dismissed depending on what version you're playing (original/remake/various retellings) and Raccon City was experiencing a severe heatwave.

Given the context the original outfit actually makes sense.
