You fools! You're forgetting the Vitilego and slightly darker racist skin tone. Give more female characters Tumblr Vitilego, you cowards!

It’s hard to find intelligent discussion about this issue, since most rational folks just dismiss it out of hand.

However, Nadia Oxford from USGamer had a great quote this week while discussing the minorly controversial Dragon’s Crown - “he can make as many titty witches as he wants, as long as he keeps drawing those badass dragons...”

To be fair though, I'd imagine that protective gear for fencing is less for distributing force and more for just preventing pokey bits from hurting you.

What about the actual boob shaped plate though? It's armor for a sword based combat sport that is shaped like a pair of breasts instead of being flat like the men's chest protector or the unisex kids version. Same style exists for boxing and that's all about distributing force except there's obviously no version for men. It's the same with other martial arts....except for taekwondo where both genders has to wrap a pool noodle around their chest.

It was said to never have existed or would hold no practical use, but here we are, looking at functional tit armor.

While I'm fine with Angela's armor getting an upgrade, too bad they made it look like she ballooned up 50 pounds.

Reminds me of a few times I would browse around DakkaDakka to go see what 3rd parties were coming up with. You'd always have that one person so offended by things like boob plate armor, even though it was a fantasy setting and that's long been a staple of the genre.

Fencing foils are light and hit with barely any force. Fencing gear isn't actual armour and it doesn't have to be made the same way.

There were historical "muscle cuirasses" worn in ancient Greece and Rome, but they're usually a lot less prominent than fantasy examples, and flatter in the middle. Fantasy boob armour often sticks out much further than this and looks stupid.

So real boob plate doesn't have to be made like imaginary boob plate? It exists and serves a function. But in a real situation, well it's already real and working but in an imaginary situation it wouldn't work because.. the angle of the blow, the attack when the mitril chaos blade hits the dwemer crystal armor, you see it would point the tip to...

Video games aren't real.

Here is a great piss take of BBAD's style of critic as here we have a either a Roman Republic warrior or a Greek Hoplite.

I love how you can use historical examples of armor to dismiss a great deal of their points.

It's important to note, though, that the massive great shields Greeks and Romans used covered the unarmoured areas and the torso well. They wouldn't have been taking hits on the muscle cuirass often anyway. Including the shield, these people are actually quite heavily armoured, but BBAD probably don't care about shields.

Ok so the history of armed combat might be problematic for many reasons, but in unarmed combat like fighting games it's very unrealistic that women would fight in basically their underwear without adequate protection.

Reality has a funny way of doing that. The "everyone in medieval times wore full plate armor" thing isn't true either. Armor was expensive and reserved for elite units who were often nobleman. Infantry were peasants and if they could afford armor at all it was typically pieces of chain mail over their regular clothes.

Yeah, full plate with a dick extender was vanity armor, there's even a Black Adder skit about oversized cod pieces. The mystery of why there's not a lot of overtly feminine vanity armors like the dick-o-plate goes unsolved though. It's a mystery for the ages.

Well in reality that two piece design could have a sexy but tasteful unarmed or more barbaric female warrior as she would have a great barbarian or even less dressed monk that would make sense.

Mediaeval soldiers bought their own gear, apart from arrows. People wore the best armour they could afford. As the middle ages went on and wealth increased, people could increasingly afford more armour. In the Viking era, noblemen wore maille shirts and helmets, and commoners just wore padded gambesons or clothes. Only 5-10% of Saxon warriors wore any armour other than gambesons. Maille became increasingly common over time, and plate armour started to appear in the 14th century. By the 15th century, knights wore full plate, and common soldiers wore helmets, gambesons, maille, brigandine, and partial plate.

The middle ages weren't a time of stasis, and armour became more advanced over time. Full plate armour was only worn from the late 14th century to the 16th century. No one wore full plate before 1300.

Im looking at the op and I saw the "edit" the website made, MGS already has skimpy male armor tho

the swimsuits you unlock(which sadly snake can't wear for some dumb reason)

also the best armor is combining attractive and realistic (fire emblem does this pretty well, like with corrin) (THOUGH THE BARE FEET MAKE NO SENSE, YOU ARE GOING TO STUB A FUCKING TOE)

Even if they admit that something is only ornimental, they can't escape their disgust towards the titty.

that actually looks pretty nice. it doesn't always have to be be functional but at least it covers her.
