At this point I feel that it is also worth pointing out that Shantae’s magical abilities allow her to transform into a variety of creatures. So people arguing she needs the outfit, that wouldn’t work for belly dancing, at all times are apparently fine with her being an elephant in game:
But not with the idea that maybe she should wear something that doesn’t look like a sex shop parody of a Genie/Bellydancer outfit. It’s puzzling.
That and we should also mention, there was a vote for backers to decide which design for the “rival” genie would be used. Let’s look at the variety of options.
Just remembered what an amazing void of creative bankruptcy (and outright plagiarism) Heroes of Newerth was, so I dug up this gem from the game’s gallery.
What a perfect example of the double standard in costume design for the same class, the issue @costumecommunityservice discussed here and here. Beats even this classic they always used to illustrate the problem:
In recent years, Magic: the Gathering has made a serious effort to improve its depiction of women. The past couple of years has seen such high-profile armor-plated badasses as General Tazri and Alesha, Who Smiles at Death.
Quick backstory: the plane of Ravnica is ruled by 10 guilds. The Boros guild is effectively a militarized police force. At the head of the guild are the firemane angels and in command of them is Razia. I guess that she thought the standard issue boobplate wasn’t empowering enough and that a platemail thong would better inspire the morale of her troops.
Wizards of the Coast maintains their baffling process of making steps forward then making jumps back when it looks like they’re really progressing.
