straight boys: Silly feminists, it’s okay for women to be depicted with little to no armor. Look at Conan, he’s totally the same thing!

straight boys: *playing FF12* Vaan, put on a damn shirt you’RE MAKING ME FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE 

straight boys: *reacting to new male protagonist’s skimpy armor* Squeenix pls stop 

straight boys: But yeah, Conan. Totally the same thing. And you don’t see us complaining!

Perfect summary of this "controversy".

Since the upcoming reboot of another legendary Final Fantasy game caused a “debate” over the (very much alleged) reduction of female character’s breast size, let’s remember that dudebros perpetuating this new fake controversy are obviously the same people who complain about male characters in the franchise being too sexy for their homophobic liking

So, I love Final Fantasy, I’ve played it since I could hold a controller. But in the final installment of FFVII You’re faced with the Deep Ground Soldiers, a syndicate of a sort, while you play as Vincent… shooting at them… But what bugged me was the fact that the females weren’t issued the nice sturdy functioning pants the dudes have, and those guys even get a nice little protective crotch piece! (because lord knows you gotta protect your junk from magic spells and bullets) Aside from that, they have some pretty good looking helmets and the chest plate is that a chest plate, not a dented boob plate. But still why the dang leotard? I sure as heck wouldn’t join an underground army with that uniform. But then one of their leader’s Rosso… *sigh* she falls as the stereotypical “sexy villain” with an insatiable bloodlust, but that’s it, the rest I’m sure has already been covered.

The lack of pants is truly a pandemic among female game characters. Gotta say, it’s especially ridiculous whenever it’s literally the only article of clothing that male version of an outfit has, but female does not.

And yes, Rosso definitely gets additional what-else-could-go-wrong point for applying to “evil is sexy” trope.
