I stumbled upon the MMO Skyforge yesterday, and noticed that most of the female outfits were… Troubling. Some of them look fairly similar to the male versions, but every single one of them have high heels and very prominent boobs/cleavage. I also heard a friend say something about boob physics… These two classes were the ones that have the biggest difference between the male and female outfits, and I’m very surprised none of them got a bingo.
The official website for the game is http://sf.my.com/
Skyforge is back! And sadly it seems that the only feedback they’ve taken on board was to to stop giving the gents much nicer hair than the ladies… now the men get head protection and the women don’t.
Seriously designs, I love garter belts as much asprobably more than the average straight guy – but they are not armor! Please just prioritize protecting the ladies and let us imagine their tastes in lingerie instead (because honestly, most of you are not that good at lingerie design either).

I stumbled across this and was kind of confused.
Admittedly, my knowledge about Star Trek is limited to a few episodes of Voyager and TNG and other general trivia, but of all races I didn’t expect Klingon ladies to have boob holes.
And it’s apparently a real thing from the tv series and movies as well…
Though it seems to get better in Voyager…
So apparently even for an alien race of proud and fierce warriors, boob windows in armor are a thing.
And there I was thinking the J. J. Abrams version of Starfleet uniforms sucked at informing us about anything other than the wearer’s gender.

Figured it’s time to revisit Dragon Quest III and the female warrior, who, for the low-low price of giving up a breastplate and pants, gained way more awesome hairstyle than her male equivalent!
After consideration, I didn’t cross the high heels square, as the shoes look reasonably wearable and not that different for each gender.
Still, she gets a bingo (for which I have the most appropriate gif at hand):
As consolation, let’s imagine that in this other pic that compares the two warriors, the woman’s expression says “why does he get such an awesome getup while I have to hide behind him to not get stabbed?”.

To me she looks like she’s weighing up if she can get away with stabbing him in the neck and taking his gear…

As an unholy mix of League of Angels marketing and ripping of World of Warcraft, Magerealm inadvertently creates a great example of so much that is wrong with the video game’s industry.
And when I say ripping off World of Warcraft I mean it, someone took the time to apparently work out how to avoid a lawsuit while adding a Panda Monk character class but never bothered to consider a female character that isn’t dressed in some fantasy war parody of lingerie.

What I find the most amazing about the first image is that, even despite their genericness, the male characters are at least easily distinguishable from each other.
Female characters, though?
They didn’t try to make the bikini armors diverse in any significant way, let alone the characters who wear them. Even the poses are identical!
Are we entirely sure those aren’t just slight recolors of the same exact image?
