The hilarious front line in the tragic war against ridiculous female armor
by Cliff Chiang
We had this design on BABD before in form of a figure, but never got around to show the 2D art, which is every bit as amazing (and still my favorite look for Diana)!
Wonder Woman who’s clearly inspired by ancient Greek armor (and hair styling fashion), and doesn’t pose or show skin for the benefit of male gaze – was that ever too much to ask for?
Why isn’t THAT how Amazons will look in DC movies?

Battle thongs courtesy of:
Honorable mentions must go to Scarlet Blade, Soul Calibur, Mortal Kombat, Onechanbara and Fire Emblem.
The battle thong is truly one of the most ridiculous tropes in female armor – not because of anything inherently wrong with thongs but rather so many creators inability to grasp that they are tiny bits of underwear that rub very intimate bits.
I get it, butts are fantastic to look at – but there’s times and a places for showing off your ass and none of those are in the middle of a battlefield.

Fully dressed drow women? Inconceivable!
Now give them a few more faces, more diverse hairstyles and bodytypes (the vampire one is a small step in right direction there) and maybe we’ll end up with believable visuals for the members of matriarchal society.
