One of the things I regularly come across while looking around the Internet for BABD related materials are the wallpapers and promotional artworks of games that were discontinued without ever leaving obscurity.

Perhaps one day someone will be brave enough to study these artifacts of bygone projects, quantify their traits and write an academic paper about the common failings.  Then perhaps we will finally have an answer to the question of whether it’s a good sales idea to have ridiculous double standards in your gender representation.

(The answer is no)

Loool im playing vindictus.. And then this one appeared.. My character in front

From time to time, we get people insisting that there’s not wrong with an MMORPG game having… terrifying battle lingerie so long as you have an option to wear something more covering.

I sometimes wonder if those people understand that the second M in MMORPG stands for  Multi-player.

More on Vindictus

leggomywaffle submitted (and Ozzie bingo’d):

Darkewood #3 of 5. A comic miniseries from 1988. Saw this while browsing through a comic section at a pawn shop. The more I look at this the more confused I get. Her bra is drawn in a way that makes it seem like it should be tight, but if you look at the bottom edges, it hangs way over her skin. She’s got a spider on her crotch that I hope is made of fabric and not metal or plastic, otherwise she’s in for some painful times. She doesn’t look too fit to be getting into a fight with the guy there. His little knife there would have a pretty easy time catching something vital. But she looks good (?) so I guess the artists thought it was okay. 

While this title seems too obscure and long-forgotten to simply google the scanned cover, ComicVine came to help. I’m leaving in leggomywaffle‘s photo though, cause it’s still a higher quality image 🙂

She didn’t get a “no underwear” square only because this costume is basically fancy underwear and nothing more.
