Kaguya-Hime

Can we talk about how the legendary Kaguya-Hime (a beautiful lunar princess from Japanese folklore) was transformed into this abomination?

I’m not really sure how those garments even work, let alone how she’s supposed to swing that mallet around – I mean c’mon, it’s a beat’em’up game, not a dating sim…  Or is it?

Since I can already hear the furious typing of people rushing to assure us that we can’t judge this because it’s Japanese and things are magically different over there, let me just point out this studio not only put their games on Steam for international market, but they started marketing games to the USA and their biggest title on Steam is…. “Mahjong Pretty Girls Battle” 

Oddly the game site seems to make a big deal about her bunnies having to play games with her and protect her, but makes no mention of who glues that outfit to her every morning.  The bunnies, incidentally… look far more intimidating that the Princess herself:

Lara Croft still doesn’t know how to put a damn top on

Lara Croft still doesn’t know how to put a damn top on

One day… one day we may see a Tomb Raider game where the Lara has gear that looks the bare minimum for what she should have brought or will be about a power fantasy.  The current trend of making everything gritty and “realistic” while having Lara in a tank top and basically slowly killing herself by scratches and abrasions really needs to go.

In the early games she at least came across as an unstoppable badass… now she comes across as unable to understand how clothing works.

So a friend pointed this out to me in a comic book shop the other day cause she knows I like to play Bikini Amour Battle Damage Bingo. Didn’t think to write down the name however ^^; and also couldn’t look inside the comic because it was sealed.

The title is “Conan Red Sonja” (preview on Google Books) and while one could make the argument that Conan is also wearing impractical attire for fighting battles, I feel that the book maintains a kind of double standard in the presentation of the two characters.

Specifically that Red Sonja regularly gets to be slightly more active, as an excuse to pose her oddly and to try to balance out that she’s posing for the titillation of the audience while Conan is… being Conan.

Since eschergirls​ recently concluded the caption contest on this monstrosity of a cover, I finally remembered to attempt a Female Armor Bingo on Ember’s, uh, outfit. 

And WOW, is that a texbook example of bingo breaker. Simultaneous sideboob, underboob and boob window alone make it spectacularly… creative. 
I also put a question sign on a few squares mainly by the virtue of the pure WTF-ness. Like… a tiny bit of her stomach gets to be covered, while the sides of her underbelly are as important to show as boobs, apparently.
Speaking of boobs, despite very obvious focus of the design on them, I couldn’t cross out boobplate either.

And yes, she actually wears that very weird type of wedge heels with a hole through them. It’s painful to look up anything regarding Ember, considering how impossible it is to take seriously the art and design of that comic.
