The hilarious front line in the tragic war against ridiculous female armor
With my farewell Scarlet Blade bingo, I decided to go with the Medic.
I fail to understand how would that… costume be aid in healing anybody without making the wearer herself need medical attention. Doctor heal thyself?
To cleanse your eyes, here’s a classic redesign @repair-her-armor did of her.

PS: Are those… training wheels next to her knees? O_o Is that “armor” supposed to be made from discarded child bicycles? Well that would explain the baby pink and blue color scheme, I guess.
While we addressed that this amazing article’s header image references the removal of Tracer’s “look at my butt” pose from Overwatch – I wanted to illustrate how it applies to any censorship vs creative freedom “controversy”, not just Overwatch.
Here are some older “vile acts of censorship” in video games which we covered on BABD that match Point & Click’s satirical text just as much:
Similarly, the older article that features a pic of R. Mika, could apply to the Overwatch butt case as well.
Hope this sufficiently summarizes how predictable and repetitive the sexualization defense rhetoric really is.

Some asked me if there were any male characters in Scarlet Blade. Well, here you go, two NPCs. For the last guy, I say props for giving him some pink with a heart and no shirt… but he goes nowhere near the extremes the ladies do. Nowhere near.
Also, a male class is currently on it’s way, as can be seenhere. If you watch the video, you’ll notice there is a big difference between the women’s armor.. and his.
Rest in peace Scarlet Blade, you’re no longer expected to produce amazing beefcake for their singular male class…
The pressure to maintain this level of empowerment for men must have been overwhelming… especially once they got out of character creation and gained levels. (Video below is NSFW)
