As you can imagine we get a lot of requests, asks, submissions, etc that we don’t end up posting for one reason or another. Often it’s because they’re regarding a topic we covered some time ago or something else takes priority – so now we’re going to try doing an additional post every week to just tidy up.
thegreatwidesomewhere is currently doing a research paper on sexism within the video games and how it effects female gamers. She would love for some of our followers to contribute by filling out this short questionnaire.
monkeytights asked what armor can inspire Varric to flaunt his bare arms in Dragon Age Inquisition: You need to dress him in a heavy armor (which needs to be made using material that remove restrictions)
magical-girl-kickline asked if it’s okay to submit battle/action costumes that are not technically armor. So long as it’s a commercial production and it’s an outfit the female character is supposed to credibly fight in – we’ll certainly consider it provided it fits within our Submission Guidelines.
We’ve been asked if we can recommend some blogs that regularly post good armor, we have a list on the Related Sites Page. It also covers similar sites like Escher Girls and The Hawkeye Initiative. If you’re considering submitting something that is kind of what we post but different, we highly recommend checking the related sites page.
Also not directly related to BABD but still important: A Kickstarter called Invisibility Blues: Exploring Race in Video Games is in it’s final days – they’ve already met their goal and have set some great stretch goals. I highly recommend checking them out and considering supporting if you are able.
