This bingo Sunday I decided to be experimental and compare SMITE’s The Morrigan with the character she’s clearly ripped off from… Morrigan.
The results were quite predictable. The SMITE version hits all the same squares (except boob window, cause that’s way beyond what “window” in clothing is) AND THEN SOME to the point of scoring a very common bingo row.
HiRez’s brand of sexualization is more bland than BioWare’s? Color me unsurprised.
No-one would ever argue the Dragon Age character’s costume is not sexualized, though at least it’s iconic enough to tell right away when someone’s shamelessly copying her. Also she knows what good pants are, that’s some compensation for the bizarre hood-scarf too 😉

Figured that this Goddess Primal Chaos dressup doll-style armor would make an excellent bingo material and boy was I right.
Whenever I look at this underwear lady next to that spiky atrocity, can’t help but wonder whether the underwear stays in its place or disappears after applying the drafty armor.
It would be pretty damn awkward if her underpants were gone after she put on this crotchless bottom part… On the other hand, if the bra didn’t disappear, it would be showing through the boob window, and as we all know visible breast support is a big no-no for boob windows.

While her kit certainly isn’t as bad as say, Cindy’s, it’s safe to say that Aranea Highwind’s battle gear has a lot of room for improvement – mostly due to some questionable priorities. The most baffling of which being headgear that would stab her in the throat and/or chest if she looked down in a panic.
And while it’s certainly true that they boys on the road trip are wearing some very nice, very tight fitting black leather there’s two important points I’d like to bring up:
- They’re supposed to be dressed to go out on a nice road trip which will end in a wedding and it’s the whim of fate that puts them on perilious adventure.
- Their clothes are actually clothes, this is a weird fetish outfit.
Final Fantasy, as always, continues to be a very oddly mixed bag.

Okay, so technically Alma’s look is a “form” from Ninja Gaiden but I’m going to count it as armor because well it’s apparently an artificial look designed for battle and well once you beat her enough it does change and then, after more beating, it kind of melts off her as seen in this heart touching moment with her sister Rachel.
Butt shot included because it is literally how this character is pitched in the marketing materials for this game.

@edgion-the-great submitted:
Some ‘beauties’ from Game of War: Fire Age.
Male armour thrown in for comparison >_>
Also the top left one has that weird metal armour that moves with her as she breathes (And when she breathes her boobs expand)
Game of War – because why have design quality when you can just have the most expensive ad campaigns and create a game where the main source of revenue is letting the richest 1-3% bully the other players.

See it says “All New X-Men” but this is honestly the most 90s comic cover I’ve seen since… well the nineties. The saddest part being that if we assume the cover girl is in fact, Goblin Queen… she is both far better dressed and yet somehow less impressive than her original incarnation:
Maybe in another thirty-three years we can get an incarnation that is both majestic and has a viable costume.
