Vainglory Empowerment

Note the URL actually includes the word “empower”. Ardan looks ready for battle. Celeste? Empowered, sure.

Now, to be fair… I kind of want to believe the use of “empower” is trolling, just because of where it actually appears on the page.

But this is Vainglory we’re talking about so I think my desire to believe is probably wandering deep into Fox Mulder territory.  I also can’t help but notice the list of “what’s new” for Ardan and Celeste are… a little different somehow.

Apparently her hair being pretty was a high priority…

Just when you thought you’re already over the first pic.

Along comes a mobile game that shows THIS (second pic).

Wow, mobile game industry.

Just.

Wow.

That’s my secret, captain, I’m simultaneously never over and yet completely over everything.

That does not look comfortable to wear at all.  Let me guess, breathes through skin? Shoots lasers from her butt and back? Wings grow from her back and butt?  Lost a bet?

We at BABD completely agree with that Avengers reference. All those sexualized designs turn us into Schrödinger’s Critics: simultaneously surprised and unsurprised by how far the absurdity (and genericness) can go.

Though one thing that’s always certain is the true reason for all that gratuitous buttcheek action.
