Predictably, the mere mention of Space Marines in relation to sexism angered many people who rushed in to tell us how because there are Sisters of Battle (aka Battlesisters, aka Adepta Sororitas) there is no possibility of sexism in Warhammer 40K certainly no reason anyone would want a female Space Marine in anything.

So naturally I remembered that certain subset of the Sisters of Battle, the Sisters Repentia, are overdue for a bingo!  And for those worried about how armor wouldn’t match the fluff behind them, don’t worry – neither does the bondage gear.

Also, if you’re concerned that this is one isolated nitpick… don’t worry there is a vast plethora of issues that can be raised to highlight how the Sisters of Battle are not treated equally with Space Marines (and there’d still be good arguments for female space marines even if they did).

So I was watch a let’s play of FFX when I came across horror of Yunalesca. Where are here nipples????? 

I’m guessing she lost them betting on a game of Blitzball.  Never game what you can’t afford to lose kids!

More seriously though that has got to be one of the most uncomfortable tops ever devised.

Extra Credits’ latest video is about how the player character’s appearance might affect how the player plays the said character, based on a RL experiment on how people’s mental capacities are affected by whether or not the test subjects were wearing lab coats when solving problems.

While tangential to the bikini armor thing, this video immediately provoked me to think: giving the player character an outfit that doesn’t look entirely ridiculous or immersion-breaking might actually boost the player’s performance. And now, we know that there are many, many people who find bikini armor ridiculous and immersion-breaking.

I feel it’s particularly worth noting since (intentionally or not) Extra Credits starts discussing the importance of how tropes cement our vision of a character – thus it should be obvious that if you want people to believe your character is complex and deep… best not to dress her up like a 70s pulp fantasy pinup.

Especially if you want your story to be great storytelling or represent a deep, immersive experience for the player.

Oh pirate ladies, why be genuinely intimidating or interesting like pirate men, when you can show boobs?

Funny thing how they literally copied characters from Pirates of the Carribean, not caring about either Disney or the actors suing for infringement… but for “sex sells” reasons they had to add in some generic deep-cleavaged lady who looks absolutely nothing like Keira Knightley.
Dunno if it’s more insulting to the actress, cause someone didn’t think her face was worth using like mugs of Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Geoffrey Rush, or respectful, cause in that case those boobs would be painted on her.
