I saw your article on Ultionus, and found myself curious how it holds up on your Bingo.  Strangely it doesn’t get a full bingo.  I found out about the high heels, bared back, and whether she had a thong from seeing the “Game Over” screen.  I don’t feel comfortable linking to it due to the “sexualized in defeat” pose.

I’d totally cross out “No underwear”, as there’s clearly nothing under that… thing. Also would consider “Covers only nipples and genitals on the torso”, seeing how those are virtually the areas around which the covering parts of the costume are designed.

Ultionus: A Tale of Petty Revenge, claims to be…

Ultionus is a love-letter to the home computer arcade games of the late 80s and early 90s

By “love letter” I would normally assume they mean a “horrifying package from a creepy stalker”.  Sadly in this case what they mean is “direct rip off of an obscure and unsuccessful title from 1987″ – that title was Phantis / Game Over II (a baffling title if ever there was one).

Look, this didn’t help in the 80s okay, and back then it was hard to see cartoon / pixel boobs. Nowdays the challenge is to avoid having them pop up on your monitor at awkward moments.

What do you think of the argument that women can be “sexy and badarse at the same time”

It all depends on the larger conversation and the overall motive behind the argument really.

If someone argues that say, women are complicated people and thus capable being many things and showcasing it as the situation requires – thus one may be still sexy when in full armor and badarse down to her bones.

If someone uses it as an attempt to silence criticism regarding character design by claiming that since the character is doing badarse things, having her always dressed in sexy lingerie makes it more impressive and empowering?

Aquaman

WonderCon Friday April 3, 2015

Cosplay by levexup.  I gotta say, I think that if Aquaman dressed like this more then he’d get a lot more respect as a super hero.  I mean it’s a very versatile look!  It can be fun and light hearted (above) or grimdark Hollywood (below):
