just because it covers the tiddy doesn’t make it practical
Some Git
A good rule of thumb for armor design, if you asked me.

Ahsoka Tano

Can I just say how pleased I am with the evolution of the costume of Ahsoka Tano from the Star Wars television series? I mean, it went from this:
to this:
and now, in the newest series, to this:
I mean, obviously there’s still a lot of improvements that could be made, but it’s still a vast improvement from the tube top and mini skirt she started in.
That is some welcome progression!
I’d say the fact that Anakin never helped Ahsoka out with her outfit was a sure sign that he was not ready to take on a Padawan learner.

While the line up does seem to include a variety of costumes from the ridiculous to the generic (with panty flash opportunities) to fairly decent I can’t help but notice that Saber is the only one who looks like she turned up looking like she’s ready for a fight.
It seems she is always destined to the be the odd one out when it comes to battle attire, and that’s worrying since she’s in armor.

Blizzard is Blizzard when it comes to the portrayal of women in general, but I think the Queen of Blades from Starcraft takes the cake (spoilers for Starcraft and Starcraft II further down):
This is her human form – pretty standard awful female armour (?)
This is a typical Zerg. Looks like something out of H R Giger, eh? At one point in game Kerrigan is abducted by the Zergs (which come in a great variety of shapes, most of them not very humanoid) and mutated into one of them. So how come that from fusing a human and a bloody xenomorph, you get this:
Where do you even begin with that? And the high heels – how and why an evolutionary (supposedly) process would create those? WHAT ARE THOSE? Why boobs? Why boney boobplate? Why non – functioning wings? Why in general? It’s a typical female armour, except looking more biologically.
BUT WAIT. It gets getter – later, in the very epilogue of the game, to defeat and ancient and powerful enemy, Kerrigan has to fuse with a Xel’Naga, the creators of life, incredibly advanced and powerful beings that traverse the multiverse, seeding it with life. They looks like this:
And can you guess what Kerrigan looks like after that? It’s pretty predictable, really:
How do you fuse with an interdimensional prawn god and become no different except made of fire? And of course, more powerful and even less clothing (none at all really). I should add that every man in the game gets to wear really huge powered armour.
I’ve always found Starcraft kind of amazing in that it started as a space fantasy adaption of Warcraft – with aliens instead of fantasy races. Seventeen years later it’s mostly taken on a life of it’s own, but still is unmistakably a Blizzard production.
The Xel’Naga for instance, look like they’d fit perfectly into Diablo. I don’t mean a future release or a Diablo 3 DLC – I mean they would have fitted perfectly in the original 1997 game.
For all the claims about how Blizzard is improving, or Blizzard is going to improve, etc. They’re still basically using all the same imagery and values they were before, just with different mechanics and better graphics.
Only… the monsters/aliens are getting bigger and more Lovecraftian.

“Women should be respected and accepted as they are, don’t shame them regardless of what they look like and what they wear. Do whatever you want, ladies!”
*virtual ladies in bikinis*
“Um, this is infringing on my rights. How dare you? Keep this misogynistic filth away from me.”Do you not understand the difference between a fictional character, created by men, to be seen as sexually pleasing for men in fiction and…like…REAL WOMEN who are ALIVE and are able to make CHOICES for themselves?
Like, women have some key differences with fictional depictions of women.
Ah agency, one of so many issues that bikini armor apologists work so hard to avoid understanding. Of course, it doesn’t help that there’s a trend with developers to try to have it both ways and insult their creations for being… how they created them.
