They have to know. It’s important.

The Muscle Cuirass is truly an amazing type of artifact, not only for it’s direct comic potential but for the comedy of when apologists present it as their entire case for bikini armor being “historically accurate”.

Personally I think the best part about it is that nobody can actually prove this comic isn’t historically accurate – we know almost nothing about muscle cuirasses outside of ceremonial attire and can’t confirm anything about them being used or not being used on the battlefield.

One thing we do know though, is that the cultures that produced them were not adverse to nudity and not shy, so if they wanted to go full fabulous sexyempowering armor they would have.

Pocket Masters

So, remember that time we proclaimed Pokemon isn’t legible franchise to talk about on BABD?

Someone who seems totally unafraid of Nintendo’s legal team decided to change it with “Pocket Masters”, a game that totally isn’t infringing on anyone’s intellectual property.

@foldablehuman directed us at this shameless attempt at passing Pokemon gijinka as a base for a completely new, definitely creative and not illegal game. Behold the glory od Sandrew and Golbart (original characters, do not steal!):

Tidy Up Tuesday #24

This week:


BABD seems to have reached a spurt in non-follower activity, so here is a reminder: This is our FAQ. Those are the commenting rules. We also have an extensive rhetoric tag, topped with the Female Armor Rhetoric Bingo game, where we address virtually every pervasive argument regarding sexualization of female warriors in fiction.

We’d appreciate if everyone who’s replying to us familiarized themselves with all of the above beforehand.

This actually looks pretty amazing and something that I feel confident supporting.  It’s a JPRG (in the sense the characters are created for you, not in the sense of being from Japan) with two well clad female leads and not even a whiff of trying to use sex to sell.

It’s already over 200% of the funding goal, so it’s guaranteed to go ahead at this point and it’s being made by industry veterans.  I am really looking forward to it’s release!
