BABD officially on Steam and deviantArt!

Since bikiniarmorbattledamage​’s second and Female Armor Bingo’s first anniversary (March the 1st) approaches, we’re preparing a few surprises.
Till then, though, here’s a surprise for now: BABD now has official groups, run by us, on Steam and deviantArt! Feel free to join them!

Steam group, of course, comes with our own curator recommendation list. It’s still getting updated, but games collected there are the selection of ones that feature badass non-sexualized women warrior characters and/or defy the misogynist status quo in clever ways.
Basically what GamerGaters would never recommend on their list.

deviantArt group is focused on collecting any art (and/or journal entries) that criticize, make fun of or defy skimpy female armor. The gallery so far is sorted into those categories:

  • Parody
  • Sexy Male Armor
  • Positive Female Armor
  • Resources + References
  • General Commentary

If you know (or do) any anti-bikini armor art on dA, submit it to the group! Some of it might eventually end up on the blog (if it didn’t before ;D).

Before the Bingo Sunday starts as usual, just a quick note:

While Female Armor Bingo is free to use for its intended purposes and you’re all encouraged to share your completed bingos – the bingo card design is not to be reposted on other sites or repurposed for other bingos.

Bikini Armor Battle Damage certainly supports people making their own designs for similarly intended bingos (like the Male Protagonist Bingo the EscherGirls Bingo) but asks that you do your own design work.

Oglaf

YES, guys, we know of the new Oglaf comic. No need to send us more messages. We’ll be queueing it for sometime later in the coming week.

It so happens that both of us (but wincenworks especially) are big Oglaf fans, so it’s kinda ironic we tend to get lots of messages whenever a strip about sexy armor is made. Chances are, we’ve already read it, so please keep that in mind next time. Thanks for heads up, anyway!

Disquis comment rules

Disquis comment rules

Another step of adjusting to a new follower count, after shameless self-promotion, is laying down some rules that didn’t need to be written down before.

Thus, we introduce official guidelines for our Disqus threads!
They basically boil down to “don’t be an asshole while commenting”, but considering there are people who needed to be spoon fed that lately (read: were banned), I detailed what is and isn’t accepted in BABD comments in 10 nice points.

From now on, please refer to the rules before you start typing a response!

PSA: don’t be that guy

Considering BABD has been around for over 20 months now and there are 94 pages (940 posts) of content on it as of today, chances are that if we post a thing, we know what we’re talking about and did at least minimal research into it.

If you feel the urge to correct us about something or add some unmentioned details about the subject of a BABD post, do YOUR research first and check if it happens that we touched upon it before.
Do not reblog or message us BEFORE you make sure that we don’t know the thing already. Maybe we noted the detail in question on other occasion and just don’t want to be redundant?
We’re not always 100% accurate and say everything that can be said on the matter at hand, but to assume we’re uninformed without checking it is pretty rude. Just don’t be that guy.

There is a reason we’ve been adding the “more on X” links at the bottoms of our posts: to show that we talked about the subject before or found some additional resources on it, so everything’s right there for the reference.

Also, again, we have a search bar, archive, tags, FAQ, submission guidelines and submission instructions. All is searchable and available for the reader’s convenience.

Signal Boost: Capes and Whips

Fellow blogger and critic of male gazey media, capesandwhips, has been really suffering financially due to circumstances beyond their control.

A full explanation is up on their main blog – however the long story short is that due to a combination of disability, bureaucracy and plain bad luck they are in desperate need of about $200 before the close of the month.

If you’re able to help and live in the US, it’d be really cool if you could donate some funds via their Venmo (most economic and efficient method):

https://venmo.com/capesandwhips

If you’re not in the US, or can’t use Venmo for any reason, they’re also able to accept PayPal payments: ittousagi@hotmail com

https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/send-money-online

Any help that can be offered at all would be greatly appreciated and directly contribute to keeping a roof over their heads and food on the table.

Finally, if you like what they do and you’d like to help support their writing they have a Patreon page.  Payments are made monthly for each article published, but when you pledge you can set a monthly ceiling to avoid unexpected expense.
