Bikini Armor Battle Damage - Hypocrites and Sexy Art

[Agent of Z.O.G.]

Armour was expensive, and a helmet was the first bit a common soldier would buy - the head's the most important part of the body. Just sell the spiky rubbish and get a kettle hat.

You can't wear helmets in Torment, only way around it is when the helmet is your head.

I looked at the Evie Frye one too. Basically "good costume but she doesn't fight as much as Jacob" wtf does gameplay have to do with character design?

Never mind that the point of her character is to be as stealthy as possible (which contrasts with Jacob wanting to have direct confrontations), she can still kick all sorts of ass at the fight clubs, and she was the main protagonist of the Jack the Ripper DLC.

That's the thing that gets me with these people, even when they "like" something, they'll still bitch about it.

These people who are acting like cultural purists are really fucking pathetic. Thinking a game about a bellydancer is somehow invalidating their culture is really awful too. NO ONE is going to play Shantae and think that belly-dancers are all exotic genies. And if they do, they're fucking idiots. The game actually goes beyond and above to pay homage to the Turkish aesthetic and it does a really fantastic job adding in fantasy elements as well. This person really needs a wake up call. There have always been sexy woman in real life who use belly-dancing to express themselves. To think this game will change that shows how fragile your ego is.

I'm curious, what do the Turks think of Shantae?

I was reading a fun little article yesterday regarding knights armour and encountered these little gems

Whenever I see her bitching about the boobplate I'm reminded Medieval knights specifically spent time and effort having their armour imply they have a massive dick....something which probably put it at increased risk.

I'm so happy to know that this exists.

Thank you.

Their's a thing in chivalric conduct about using your belt to imply you have a massive dick. The medieval mindset had a fierce devotion to a good dick joke, smut and implying they're a really good fuck. I suspect bikini battle armour would waffle about patriarchy or male empowerment or somesuch rationalization why it's not the same that knights spent a great deal of money showing everyone they have a massive dick so all the ladies should want to fuck them.

Basically, Shantae is not a "sexualization" of belly-dancing, she's a homage and is very stylized to fit the theme of the games. Plus, everyone is drawn in a weird sexy style. So basically, it's perfectly normal in-universe to be like that. They live in a very hot climate so it makes sense to wear less clothes..

It doesn't matter to them.

It may be me, but the link is either broken or they deleted shit.

But back on topic, if you don't care about the context, then why bother. Context is everything. That's like saying a seductress being sexy is sexist. Like....what else are they supposed to do?

Not be seductresses.

Here's the link. I wonder what they have to say about settings where it's already going to be a hot wasteland. Let's take Dark Sun where it's desert shithole where metal is rare and most people pretty much dress small.

It's funny how you never see them criticize the men for their costumes...I wonder why?

Codpieces were a thing to protect ones own royal jewels. Just imagine how bad it would be if some peasant you were fighting swiped his dagger at the groin instead of the neck.

While one could point out Dark Sun, which is if D&D and Mad Max had a grimdark baby, has everyone dress up as leathermen from Mad Max, one can expect BBAD to come up with some excuse in complaints.

A codpiece is one thing.

A codpiece designed to make you look like it's made to cage your RAGING HARD-ON is another.

This is not what I had in mind when I saw the name Bikini Battle Armor Damage. These people need fun. Sexy things can be fun too.

 

[Club Sandwich]

they don't seem to whine about Dark Souls or Bloodborne's armor/clothing. But then, they'd probably just home in on the doll, the herm, or Titty McIllusion.

I decided to check for you. Here's their Dark Souls stuff and one Bloodborne. I'm glad they are totally ignorant on the existance of a certain game that I get my avatars from.

eh i wouldn't be happy for too long...

Hey, I they found an example they did like for the most part.

Lol @ the one armor sperg in the comments.

Lol @ the one armor sperg in the comments.

Amusingly the armour sperg didnt do a really good job. There doesnt appear to be any chainmail under the plate, their are no attempts to cushion the skull which is vital for armour and their appears to be no attempt to defend the groin or back thighs. Unless you're trying to protect the purity of the women, this is bad armour.

EDIT-and the shirt only really serves to increase the risk of overheating in armour you want something airy and light as your clothing layer
