Bikini Armor Battle Damage - Hypocrites and Sexy Art

I don't get this skimpy male armor meme. The armor supports the desired image; women attractive, men bulky like a tank.

Some women share the desire and armor themselves accordingly. Men have (evolutionary I guess) no desire to be sexually appealing as they're not baby factories.

The proper equivalent would be a hyper feminine guy in slutty clothing like Link in BotW, but oh no, that doesn't make the issue black and white and therefor hard to use as "Look how unnatural it is" material.

I don't know but I think muscles like this do make straight women happy.

This is just people wanting something to complain about. Nobody went through God Of War 3 or Golden Axe thinking, ehh, I wish the main character was a little more clothed, I'm a little uncomfortable. We just didn't care, and if we did we found something else that we were more comfortable with.

People doing this with Quiet and MGS though are the biggest idiots though. Like that is one of the most homoerotic mainstream video game franchises, and most of the fans would love to play as Big Boss in Quiet's outfit, hell you could play the entire game in co-op, both in a Speedo in the game before Quiet's appearance. Fans were actually really excited when you could unlock swimsuits in 5 in a new update.

Some of my favorite incidents:

1) BABD blowing a gasket over the portrayal of Diana in Shin Megami Tensei for having boobs all over the place; then it was pointed out to them that it's based off a Roman statue, they ignore it and double down on why it's wrong or something. Then they start going on about how Mara's portrayal as a giant penis monster is offensive to Buddhists. That makes as much sense as Christians being offended by South Park portraying Satan as a homosexual.

2) Saber from Fate/stay night. I don't remember the details but apparently they liked her for being fully armored but when they learned that she's actually a genderswapped King Arthur, she instantly became haram.

I'll dig them up when I don't feel lazy.

For the record. Mara's portrayal doesn't bother me. Have they seen some Buddhist statues?

Big Boss and Kaz Miller literally bond over naked wrestling in Peace Walker. Didn't see any of these ladies bitching over that.

They did defend Raiden's big nude scene in MGS 2 as being a look into male vulnerability and such.
 
I feel like the prudes complaining about sexy women in games don't even have a clue how behind the times they are. They're like edgy teens or old conservatives trying to play cool and still making helicopter gender and triggered jokes in 2018. We had multiple titles where male nudity is present, like that Conan survival game, or Rust. Male character fanservice is steadily becoming as common as female. It's only a matter of time until a barely dressed male character with bulge bigger than biggest boobs to ever be added in a game gets hailed by gaming community, and these prudes will still keep complaining how nobody ever designs blatantly sexualized male characters.

That's something I've come across is how plain and bulky the approved armors are. Not to mention that it must make the woman look genderless. Classic Red Sonja's bikkini armor that they consider "disgusting" at least has a charm to it and Zelda's Hyrule warrior garb looks pretty and detailed. (Over the out of personality armor they liked better, though they thought the armor was a little too form fitting.)

In a way, this is an interesting look into the minds of these ladies.

I love how in the comments they straight up admit they won't bingo Impa because she doesn't score badly enough to merit a hissy fit over cause why bother ever being positive about anything when you can just bitch about Cia some more despite the games plot explaining why Cia is dressed as she is but then that would require them to play a game and god forbid maybe experience some joy.

Terra Branford (Final Fantasy 6): I will be a thousand times more fair than you deserve and use her 3d model from Dissidia, specifically the "alternate" outfit that is closer to her original outfit.

Terra Branford? The character whose special move is to transform into a naked magical creature?

Seriously though, if any character gets an A+ on the Bechdel test, it's Terra. But that can never be enough for them.

Another community dedicated to complaining about non-issues, which is a waste of time. Go back to having fun.

Or, if fun isn't your goal and you want to inspire change in treatment of women, there are a million highly productive ways to spend your time.

Laugh at how in touch Hideo Kojima is with his inner 12 year old boy and move on with your fucking life.

Huh...yeah. Hell she never really experiences any sort of romantic attraction as she's too busy wondering if she's even human. Good point.

You know as separate outfits they look rather nice, but the original gravity rush outfit was fine. It was simple, but cute. And yeah it shows some skin, but it was a pretty tame. Also wonder woman doesn't really need armor. Doesn't she have indestructible skin like Superman? It would only get in the way and weigh her down. Her one-piece works.
