@audio-sexual submitted (and Ozzie bingo’d):

I would like to submit for a bingo card: TERA’s latest class, The Brawler.

They must be a lover, not a fighter because they basically are wearing a hand-written in gold glitter gel pen invitation to murder them on the battlefield.

This pic was shared by my friend who noticed that the “armor” was getting increasingly more ridiculous until this stunner right here. I don’t know what that top/almost a corset thing is supposed to be or HOW IT WORKS…there are high heels, of course…& that crowning jewel, the diamond in front, rises & falls because the designers don’t know how breasts actually work.

As you can see, their character is just as enthralled with the look as we are.

Just when we thought underboob and boob windows couldn’t possibly get any worse… Though seeing how this is TERA, we’re hardly surprised, really.

Can’t get a good shot of this particular costume’s shoes, which would confirm the high heels and earn it a double bingo, but comparing it to other Brawler outfits (and, again, remebering it’s TERA), I’m 99,9% sure that’s the case. So, bingo?

For the record, here’s how other Brawler “armors” look:

Smosh just released this video, they make fun of different superhero topics, including female superhero armor.

I like how they take a jab at many questionable trends in superhero-related media, like the how white most superheroes are, how female characters don’t star in their own movies and the obligatory dead parents (content warning for that particular sketch’s ending). 

Though the bikini armor sketch above could be a bit less similar to College Humor’s classic Female Armor Sucks.

Considering Captain Man is completely okay with that, I’d love to see some fanart of him in Captain Woman’s bikini 😉

Battle thongs courtesy of:

Honorable mentions must go to Scarlet Blade, Soul Calibur, Mortal Kombat, Onechanbara and Fire Emblem. 

The battle thong is truly one of the most ridiculous tropes in female armor – not because of anything inherently wrong with thongs but rather so many creators inability to grasp that they are tiny bits of underwear that rub very intimate bits. 

I get it, butts are fantastic to look at – but there’s times and a places for showing off your ass and none of those are in the middle of a battlefield.

This is the closest those sidebar ads ever got to sexy male armor standard.

Hell, we can even see the Oni’s underpants! Now give both of those gentlemen sultry poses and flirty expressions and we’re be on good way for male empowerment.

I wanted to congratulate ASTA for not going with the trite “sex sells” advertising, but of course that’s what I found upon further googling:

By no way the worst we’ve seen and there are better female designs the game is promoted with, so let’s be cautiously optimistic?
