DnD Modern Magic

SGG submitted:

I play the most recent Dungeon and Dragons edition (5th ed.) and they release supplemental material on occasion on their website. This is the most recent addition, along with a picture of some modern day/futuristic heroes:

Sadly, I think this poor woman in front might want to take a note from her allies. She seems to have been dealt a serious wound from that bare midriff. šŸ™

An Asian girl with weird tattoos blue lipstick in a sexualized version of schoolgirl outfit (with bra poking out) armed with a faux katanaā€¦ totally fits in with a generic dude and a catguy with a monocle both wearing power armor. Ā Thatā€™s not trite and painfully cliche at allā€¦

In this case theĀ ā€œinjuryā€ that showcases sheā€™s wires andā€¦ green goo inside seems to ramp up the objectification further since it suggests sheā€™s not a person in the regular scene by a sci-fi thing.

Kaguya-Hime

Can we talk about how the legendary Kaguya-Hime (a beautiful lunar princess from Japanese folklore) was transformed into this abomination?

Iā€™m not really sure how those garments even work, let alone how sheā€™s supposed to swing that mallet around – I mean c’mon, itā€™s a beat’em’up game, not a dating simā€¦Ā  Or is it?

Since I can already hear the furious typing of people rushing to assure us that we canā€™t judge this because itā€™s Japanese and things are magically different over there, let me just point out this studio not only put their games on Steam for international market, but they started marketing games to the USA and their biggest title on Steam isā€¦.Ā ā€œMahjong Pretty Girls Battleā€Ā 

Oddly the game site seems to make a big deal about her bunnies having to play games with her and protect her, but makes no mention of who glues that outfit to her every morning. Ā The bunnies, incidentallyā€¦ look far more intimidating that the Princess herself:

So a friend pointed this out to me in a comic book shop the other day cause she knows I like to play Bikini Amour Battle Damage Bingo. Didnā€™t think to write down the name however ^^; and also couldnā€™t look inside the comic because it was sealed.

The title is ā€œConan Red Sonjaā€ (preview on Google Books) and while one could make the argument that Conan is also wearing impractical attire for fighting battles, I feel that the book maintains a kind of double standard in the presentation of the two characters.

Specifically that Red Sonja regularly gets to be slightly more active, as an excuse to pose her oddly and to try to balance out that sheā€™s posing for the titillation of the audience while Conan isā€¦ being Conan.
