It’s not that I mind seeing breasts everywhere; after all, I have two of my own that I quite like. But it’s disheartening that breasts are often considered more interesting than the people they’re attached to – as if we’re an afterthought compared to our body parts.

My latest at the Guardian US on how women are reclaiming their racks. #sorrynotsorry (via jessicavalenti)

Exactly my thoughts whenever I see just another design focused on cleavage window or boobplate, while serving no practical function or informing us nothing about who wears it.

Bringing this back as the general reminder that there’s certainly nothing wrong with loving boobs, but definitely something wrong with placing them ahead of the people who have them.

Thinking female characters as people, rather than just sexualized bodies, should not be a rare and radical approach.

Remember when people tried to say that SMITE wasn’t using tacky “sex sells” tactics, it was just historical authenticity because ancient cultures had different standards?

You can imagine my surprise when this showed up in my inbox today.

What the blithering fuck is this?

candiceirae:

@nightbringer24 just put together a post on companies that make bits that are suitable for WH40k conversions. This is an outstanding post, and I’ve bought stuff from about half of the companies listed, expressly for the intention of converting 40k stuff. Good stuff!

I started poking through the various links, ‘cause hey, shiny new almost!40k minis, what’s not to like?

My god.

So, Wargamer Exclusive offers minis of the Sisters of Battle. I love the Sororitas, and was curious what they’d have. Oh, look! They have a Sororitas with two chainswords! This’ll be badass!

As it turns out, asses are involved. Just not in the way I’d hoped.

Sororitas Battle Sister With Two Chainsaw-Swords 28MM

That’s not a Repenta. I checked. That’s being sold as a standard Sister of Battle.

I respectfully submit two observations.

1. That is not a Sister of Battle. That is Slaaneshi cultist, dressing up as a SoB, either for giggles, or in an attempt to infiltrate the ranks of the actual Sororitas.

2. She’s not wearing pants. That’s an anal hook. The Daughters of the Emperor do not wear anal hooks as part of their standard wargear and I cannot fucking believe I just typed that sentence.

So, ladies and gentlemen – what the everloving fuck is this?

Apparently someone out there has even less understanding for Sisters of Battle than Game Workshop does… That’s a new record.

Also apparently someone who hasn’t had the talk about when it is and isn’t appropriate to share your kinks.

Tidy Up Tuesday #26

Producer Ross Putman runs a twitter blog consisting entirely of introductions for female characters that he sees in scripts for Hollywood movies.

For submitted examples of bikini armor tropes and promotion of other similar critical pieces, we do ask that they be limited to commercial art and that a source be provided for confirmation.  We do not support holding personal art up to the same standards and sometimes it can be tricky to confirm some images if they’re been liberally re-posted around the Internet.

@daeranilen has written an interesting article on the bodies of female characters in MMOs, particularly the new updates in World of Warcraft.  It’s focused on body diversity rather than attire, but still covers many similar issues with the depictions of female characters.
