Can we all appreciate how entirely gender-neutral all of those costume designs are?

Perhaps one of the biggest keys to the success of Bloodborne and Dark Souls is the incredible focus they have on the goals of their games.
It really shows what you can accomplish.
And it really shows that ridiculous female armor is not something enhances fantasy horror or cosmic horror.

So, apparently they decided to make a Dark Soulscomic – which is awesome. However the company they chose to adapt it to comic format is Titan, the people who brought us:
Monster Madness (which is probably overdue a feature on BABD)
A whole bunch of adaptations from television
Now, presumably they received a lot of information such as source materials, concept art, etc but still took it upon themselves to give their heroine a ridiculous boobplate.
It’s impossible to even look into this matter without finding imagery that is both amazingly preposterous, and yet also perfect “reaction” images to the situation.
So what should have been a great positive example is now a cautionary tale about how even great properties can slide into ridiculous female armor territory as they expand markets.
That “debunk” attempt gets a sad trombone and no redos.

Charmingly they later tried to spin it as “well could be a Ms Male Character” – displaying an amazing lack of understanding of the trope.
As a side note, please don’t bother our debunker – they’ve already declared they are not interested in learning to improve and no amount of contact will change that (their blog is also very NSFW).
