Women in Armour – ConQuest of Mythodea 2015 – 1 | 2 | 3
When you let women dress themselves for battle there are no chain mail bikinis, no boob plates, no high heels. We wear heavy armour and wield swords and axes and maces. So fuck you, video game industry.

BONUS: empowered male warrior :))
These are all so wonderful – great combinations of badassery and creativity. I really do hope that major developers will start taking their inspiration from LARPers like these rather than pulp magazines.
Well that’s something I didn’t know I always wanted to see in DBZ…
I’m both surprised and relieved that so far we didn’t receive any misguided messages suggesting that shirtless Goku is sexualized because muscles. As a wise blogger once said, Dragon Ball Z is a quintessential male power fantasy. Warrior men in the series are roughly as “objectified” as Kratos or Conan.
It took a whole boyband song and sexy synchronised dance number to turn those proud Saiyans into pure fanservice! Merely tearing their shirts wouldn’t do.
