This outfit was from MK9, where the women were actually allowed to be sexy. Their bitching over ninja titties in that game is the reason we have the disgusting burqa designs of MK11

MK11's excuse was the same as BABD - talked about the realism and how impractical outfits were, then proceeded to make less skimpy but equally impractical gear.

Only for the women though, the men continued to fight shirtless in tights.

So now they're fixing designs that have already been "fixed"?

SJWs will never forgive MK for having hot chicks at all. This hatred is unhealthy and will not stop, because they need to bash the beautiful to elevate their ugly selves.

NetherRealm Studios followed the path of Team Ninja, Capcom or Namco to keep the sexualization, and works for me.
Anyway, this thread reminded of something:
Yakuza is one of those videogame sagas who near every main character is hot as fuck (kudos for every fucking shirtless final boss fight). And it's from Ryu Ga Gotoku studios, a SEGA in-house developer.
So, basically Japan fuck both sides, and i love that.

Feel free to mutilate and eviscerate the hell out of the female fighters, but the harlots better show as little skin as possible.
Now that I think of it some more, how come NetherRealm never came under fire for all the graphic fatalities that can be used against the female fighters? People have raised hell over all the death animations in the Tomb Raider reboots, and those have nothing on what can be done in Mortal Kombat.

That's an especially great point as I remember lots of people whining TR's animations were about humiliation, unlike Dead Space because that was...somethihg different, totally.
Just quietly how fatalities were explicitly in MK to humiliate an already beaten opponent.

I've seen people throwing tantrums against how VIOLENT and BLOODY the fatalities look when used on female fighters, even comparing them to ryona and to actual abuse of women.

SJWs/radfems are ugly people, inside and out. They got terrible personalities to go with their ugly looks. Honestly, I feel sorry for them because they will never know happiness.

If I may argue, their horrid personalities are what make them so ugly. Even a less attractive person wouldn’t be ugly if they are good people.

I was about to say that "I think it's more like the fact that its a fighting game", but then again DOA went under fire despite being a fighting game and the women wearing bikini tops and short shorts despite sometimes being practical/logical (bikini wear in beaches, short clothes to not be tugged, etc)" but SJWs took down stuff more than that.
With more thinking, I can think its instead fatalities are the backbone of MK, and it was the talk of how the ESRB came to be in the first place. Remove the fatalities and it isn't MK anymore, the history gone, and the sane people would come down on the SJWs like hell for ruining a goofy best-known franchise. MK vs DC Universe got a lot of flak for this sole reason too. SJWs would rather slowly work in the shadows, ruining tiny things bit by bit until its too late to for the normal people to notice and fight back. Trying to remove fatalities is like shining all spotlights on them, and its well-known that SJWs hate people fighting back at them and would run away if spotted.
Meanwhile, Lara Croft's stuff is part of the series except you have to spend effort to find them (for a famous example: in the OG game, stepping on the statue of the Mida's hand turns her to gold), and not blatantly on your face. So that works for a "Have you never played the games? It has been there since the beginning" rebuttal, which proves they never played the games in the first place. The reboots are more like 'realistic' takes of the series, but the point still stands

What drives me nuts is this:
Never mind that not wearing a helmet is often a design choice to separate the heroes from the mooks, and seeing a face lets us identify with the character more. And when you click on their image source link, you get another BABD page with this gem:
Who'da thunk, she's the heroine (a named one at that), is going through a ritual, and BABD would rather just reinterpret the fluff. Figures.

There’s an entire trope dedicated to major characters showing their face rather than wearing helmets. It’s not that deep you bitter fun-hating harpies

I love the irony between the lack of helmet actually elevating her in importance over the legion of faceless, disposable men around her and their dumbass take on it.
Apparently, showing a woman's face is sexualizing her.

I was going to say, did they not watch Game of Thrones when it was hot? Martin was annoyed that they rode into battle helmetless but it was a sensible design decision for story telling purposes. Don't make me defend D&D again.

>"Casual Sexism"
This part just gets me: "Even if certain crowd insist on arguing that it’s never a gendered thing (sometimes it isn’t, but then ladies with helmets somehow show tendency to take them off to flaunt their impossibly perfect hair, while guys seemingly wear them 24/7)."
OR maybe you're just looking too deep into this.
A big issue I have with this subgroup is how they take every single little bit info as full confirmation of their own biases. Plenty of male/female characters in armor don't wear helmets. The reason why you see crowds of soldiers in illustrations like these wearing them and not the main characters is to a. save more time drawing them and b. distinguish the main characters/focal point. It's much easier to have clones to replicate for background characters than it would be making every single irrelevant character prominent in these types of illustrations.
It's pretty clear that in the example they gave it's the latter. The other characters aren't as important and they don't need to go above and beyond for that. I guarantee you it's just done out of convenience rather than full-on sexism. Again, these people claim to speak on the behalf of others and yet are willing to trash said people's works when it doesn't fit their needs. Bikini Armor Battle Damage really expects some poor (probably underpaid) illustrator to do even more work just to placate their selfish needs instead of making their own characters.
Even when given the blandast templates to work with, they still complain because a character has something another doesn't...even though they can choose whatever Mii they want anyways.

Do you think the ladies at BABD would defend Cuties or condemn it?

Defend, no question about it.
It's a "heartwarming" story about a "young girl" fighting "oppression". Just look at all the articles trying their fucking hardest to spin it as some empowering feminist tale, and all the NPCs lapping it up.
