Posts I won’t be making

Since the blog almost doubled in popularity since last week, I’ve been getting the same types of asks and submissions, and as far as I’m grateful for attention from you, dear readers, I’ll try to explain why submissions below aren’t what I’m looking for:

Here’s another one for your Skyrim collection.www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/30616/

Another one for Skyrim… this is actually pretty skimpy armor if you really look at it (sideboob, low slung chainmail over leather underwear), but.

You’ve probably already gotten opinions on it, but the female armor in the elder scrolls games is the best because it’s exactly like the male armor. Like there is no difference.

I know you’ve brought up Skyrim before but if I may interject one thing I found while browsing YT, the Evil Lair of Hydra mod. Now this may just be a kink thing but it’s very.. unsettling. It’s a dungeon filled with tons of naked women waiting to be killed, most of them in chains,with nooses around their necks, on torture tables, strapped to a post being stabbed, chained on top of a fire, in a battle arena, laying unconscious on a bed, etc. It just doesn’t sit right with me.. : /

Hi there! Can’t believe I’ve only just found this blog, it’s awesome! Just wondering what you guys think of the armor sets in Guild Wars 2?

Say, have you seen stuff from Capcom’s Monster Hunter? They have 4 types for each armor, male/female and sword fighter/gunner. While there are some obviously fanservice exclusive for females, there are also some nice surprises like full concealing and bulky armor, or more surprisingly the same fanservice for male armors, like chest and midriff exposed and using short shorts

Guild Wars 2
does this count as a positive example? i mean /most/ of the female armour is structured the same as the male armor aside from vagueboobplates. at least with the heavy armor anyway!
So, for the future reference:
  1. Please do not send me just bare examples of badly dressed warrior women. This blog is not just collecting examples. Best place for that would be repair-her-armor​, where they are collected for reference for future fixes.
  2. Do not ask me if I find a certain game counts as a good or bad example. Chances are, I’m not familiar with it, so best I could do is to ask readers for their opinions.
    Or, if the game is Elder Scrolls V, I talked about it already a few times and you can check the Skyrim tag.
    If you want to quantify how questionable any female armor is, compare it with BABD bingo card as a reference.

Things Bikini Armor Battle Damage is devoted to are:

  1. Poking fun at sexist female warrior costume designs (preferably by putting them in realistic scenarios).
  2. Analyzing and commenting on the inherent design flaws of sexist warrior costumes (that doesn’t mean I’ll review every armor design you link to me)
  3. Providing resources on armor design (especially armor for women).
  4. Highlighting examples of fully-protected female warriors and realistic scenarios for fighting half-naked.
^Please try to keep your submissions and questions generally within above rules.
PS: kiwi-disu, please check the mods tag. I already discussed how mods should be judged separately from the games, as they’re user-made and, as disgusting as some are, they do not represent the game makers’ opinions or choices.

1050 FOLLOWERS! (EDIT: NOW 1120!) [EDIT: NOW EVEN MORE!]

I was just pondering on who of the popular folk reblogged yanavaseva’s amazing contribution that it blew from 19 notes to 1500 and counting, when I noticed…

…Bikini Armor Battle Damage just passed 1050 followes! WOOO HOOO!

Edit: It’s 1120 now as I’m going to sleep. You guys are awesome.

Edit 2 (to not clutter your dashboards with a new post): Look what I woke up to:

There are 1330 of you in total now! You guys are awesome! THANK YOU! 😀

Edit 3: Pssst, 1,5k and counting! *_*

Just to clarify that second picture on the Dragon Eternity post. They’re both wearing the same thing. The 2 pictures of the man and woman were put next together for comparison, but the armor sets and stuff were put on either side to indicate the set of armor.

Hi, on your recent post for Dragon Eternity, the man is wearing a breastplate and pants- both characters are wearing all the equipment in the icons surrounding them.
I’m pretty sure the layout of items is actually supposed to show that both of them have everything… just apparently the female warrior’s gear becomes invisible.
Point taken. Thank you, friends, for clearing that up!
Sorry, for I got confused by the image’s divided composition 🙁
Edited the post in question to clear things out.
Everyone who reblogged it from me, PLEASE EDIT THE POST to prevent further confusion!

Upcoming anniversary and a new affiliate!

Announcement time!

As some of you may have noticed, recently BABD has been armed with a convenient cloud tag in the sidebar. Just updated it’s design to match blog’s theme a bit better. Hope it will help the readers with finding articles related by tags.
I try my best at tagging every post consistently, but feel free to message/comment if you think that something needs to be tagged further!

Let’s give warm welcome to the newest official affiliate, fucknosexistcostumes (formerly fucknosexisthalloweencostumes)!
The blog was recommended  (but inactive) on BABD’s related subpage for some time now, but since it got recently renewed under new management, we’re more than happy to affiliate and give each other some exposure!
Go check it out to see that sexist double standards are not a problem exclusive to the realm of fiction.

And as for final announcement, next Saturday, March 1st, will mark Bikini Armor Battle Damage’s first anniversary!
To celebrate it, I’m planning on releasing long-procrastinated surprise project (hint: you can play it!), so keep looking forward and spread the word, dear readers!

The biggest present you guys can give to this blog on its first birthday would be the word of mouth! BABD is 46 followers short of hitting 1000 mark and I’d be delighted to see this number by the time anniversary comes. Can you do it? 🙂

Is nobody else going to push back against this horrible gifset?

(Belated) HAPPY 2014 from Bikini Armor Battle Damage!

The New Year marks 9 months of BABD existing. In those months I came close to 900 followers, every single one I’m truly thankful for.

Hope you all will forgive the sparse updates, the holiday season + personal matters keep me from forming a consistent post queue.
Let’s make frequent updates (once a week AT WORSE) the 2014 resolution for Bikini Armor Battle Damage, okay?

Don’t forget you can all help in keeping the content fresh by submitting posts or suggesting reblogs 🙂
