I saw an ad on Tumblr for another battle MMO…and I was actually pleasantly surprised with most of the costume choices. While there are some ladies in impractical armor, there are also men who are clearly designed to appeal to a female audience.
I’m really not sure how long it’s going to take for the humanity to get over this idea that “MEN = MUSCLES! WOMEN=BEWBZ!” but it really can’t happen soon enough.
But, pro-tip:
If this is the best copy your marketing guys can come up with – get better marketing guys.
I was bored so I decided to play some Female Armor Bingo with Flip Flappers! For the last three here’s the one and only example of what the male version of the same outfit looks like.
So… everything I could find say this is a show is a sort of Magical Girl type deal and generally seems to be aimed at teenage girls and young women.
Except for various random traits like these costumes and moments like…
I’m not convinced this is a great way to market to multiple demographics.

We got a few requests for us to take a look at this… and well at least they didn’t give her buttsock pants.
By itself Supergirl’s outfit in IGN’s latest Injustice 2 video is a bit of a step back but nothing immediately disastrous. Taken in context with some other factors such as the previous outfit shown, the choice of dummy opponents and the scene where Supergirl takes Wonder Woman for a trip past the Sun so the audience can admire Wondy’s butt… and it’s frankly disheartening.
It’s not so much the bare arms but rather the shift in priorities in the to make her costume to highlight her boobs, trying to make her bright and cheery (contrary to the setting) and use Wonder Woman to supplement the T&A content.
Creepy MarketingGuy’s fingerprints are all over this one.
