Hint: a responsible satire doesn’t straight-up reproduce the satirized thing, but puts some sort of twist on it. And I don’t mean a torsotwist. Also no, using the Disney font for the author’s credit doesn’t yet make the whole artwork “ironic”.
I love it when designers have pretty okay looking female armor (like maybe a some subtle boob dents and or it’s very very fitted despite being METAL) but the give her a thigh-high boots and leave that oh so precious strip of sexy, sexy leg flesh DIRECTLY where the femoral artery is
Like someone doesn’t even have to slash them she could easily just cut herself on her own armor and fucking die before going into battle someone please stop the nerds jfc
Exactly! We regularly laugh at the ubiquity of exposed thighs in female armor because of that.
Here are some highlights of that costume design trope from our ‘no pants’ tag:

Koihime Enbu is a fighting game based off of a visual novel series, and by god it shows. Aggressively generic designs left and right, same faced loli versions of historical figures like Saber was going out of style…
I wish this was an outlier
So… we should be legitimately scared that Sakura Fantasy will expand out into other genres. Presumably with the whole hearted support of those who want to decide what “is and is not a game”.
Yikes, this competition is really promoting the idea that they want lots of sexy lady armor – I personally feel that it would be great if people sent them lots of submissions to suggest they should consider practical armor.
This competition does have some of the confusing terms and conditions I’ve ever read, to the extent it’s not clear who’s eligible other than people from inside the United States (some people outside the USA are too… but it’s confusing who).
Hi there! First of all let my say that I love your tumblr 😀 for a whole lot of different reasons (and your bingo is LOVE). Anyways, you’re probably aware that Blade & Soul is getting a western release… D: and they’re organizing a costume design contest! So I was just wondering if maybe, you could relay this so they would receive a whole lot of sexy male armors and practical awesome female armors! :D. and maybe make them realize that something is awefully wrong with their female outfits?

I don’t think that costume, that a female character deliberately wears into battle and dangerous situations, provides enough protection to qualify as armor…

Bringing this back to remind anyone that outfit doesn’t have to be explicitly an armor or armor-like to qualify for this blog.
As long as a female character deliberately wears it for battle, it counts.

Time to add to Langrisser’s sins against basic sanity in costume design
This is Priestess Mariel Sarlus. I mean, I know nuns are often sexualized anyways, but really?!?
One of the things I always find truly baffling about a lot of these designs is they’re not trying to find integrate the fantasy setting with the sexy design… they’re just cutting windows and adding clothes you’d find in a modern day lingerie catalog (or sex shop).
I mean… unless I’m supposed to believe that part of her role as priestess is to set some sort of example for pubis grooming.
